Its bad weather here so Hampus and Jakob decided to make a slam section for you guys to watch. So, I gave them some slams that we have for them to play with. The result was pretty impressive:
Hampus & Jakob Productionz Presentz:
Our filming mission in Scandinavia is done. We got a lot of bangers. Actionhorse Films will move over to the states tomorrow where we will be filming more backcountry and park.
Me and Eiki and Halldór went on a scoaping misson yesterday a couple hours out of town. Drove around for a couple of hours. Found a wooden 52 stepper, have to go back there another time…
We found a sweet down wooden rail with a drop at 11pm, had to do some major modifications to it so we started hitting it at 2am, then we had big problems with electricity so the session stopped a couple of times due to no power. Finally found good electricity to support our 4500w lighting setup.
Eiki, ss nosepress.

At 5am, the coke froze and we where out of candy so we started our 2 hour drive and got home at 7am. This is not healthy.
Until next time.
Eiki and Halldor has been to town twice the last month. Our main rail for both trips has been the legendary 37 stepper. Every time we show up to it there is 3 giant dumpsters in the way. So lame. So today when we didn’t have a spot in mind I went over to the rail to check if the dumpsters were gone.. No… Hmm, I call up a friend who wants to be anonymous. Lets call him Martin. I ask him if he thinks its possible to move a dumpster with tons of crap in it with a car? - Yes! I had already given up when he showed up with a little rope and his car. BUT. My dear friend Martin moved that dumpster. Awesome.
Before 
After
Super stoked that this worked out because we got some really banger shots today. A lot of people have been hitting this rail before and almost all trick has been done (front board, sw frontboard, bs lip, sw bs lip, cab 270, bs 180 sw 5050, different presses etc) . Its really hard to come up with new tricks now but today we stepped it up a notch again, maybe even two!
Halldor, Eiki 
Eiki and Halldor came up today to film some rails. When they come to film you have to buy a lot of Pepsi and candy to keep them going, if you provide them with sugar and burgers everything works out great. If you dont, well… I dont wanna know.
Food for Icelanders
We hooked up with Hampus and Jakob and went up to a local ski town to shoot this wooden rail.

Everybody got shots so we where stoked driving home at 2am with the third burger of the day.
Going to this town east of Sweden tomorrow for some more rail sliding. We will keep you posted.
Just got back from this resort in mid Sweden called Kläppen. Had an awesome stay since it snowed really hard every day. Pow and a great park, we even managed to find some urban stuff in the area. We had a short night session at this jump. 
The boys checking out some shots.

Sweet spot! Pow landing.
Thanks to the people at Kläppen for help with the jump and lodging!
In Stockholm on a 4 day misson with Finlands Fredu Sirvio and Swedens own Kareem El Rafie. This town is pretty awesome when it gets some snow. There is so many different rails to hit and no bust at all.
Fredu, dropping in.
The police showed up a total of 4 times during our visit, only to hang out and take pictures of us. Awesome.
Police nr.1, 2 and 3 getting the shot.
Went scoping a lot. We found this ≈100 stair rail with real consequences.
We have been filming rails in Östersund, Sweden with team Iceland. This is the first time that I have been filming with this crew… I have to say that I have never seen anything like this before. This is railriding 2.0.
Gulli checking out rail nr.2 of the evening. 5am.

The crew is Eiki Helgason, Gulli Gudmundsson, Halldór Helgason, Andreas Gidlund, Photographer Daniel Blom and myself. The food for half of the crew (riders) consists of Coca Cola and Candy. Only. Tried to force them to eat some meat the other day.
