SnowPosted by Veronica Fri, January 29, 2010 21:27:26Video editing is pretty new to me, but it´s in the same street as graphic/web design thats been one of my hobbies and work for several years. This time my video editing took a bit of, I´m not sure I can relate to this type of presentation, but I can assure it doesn´t stop here if I get enough time to play...haha
Only promise to not make an dramatic scene of drops below 50 cm.. or maby 10..
One of many great days at our local area, good conditions (some disagree..), good company and nice shots with good help from an okay nature... in our backyard
SnowPosted by Veronica Tue, January 12, 2010 00:14:41At the time we have more snow than in several years at the "outer" coast, now it's the time to ride the excotic lines that are very seldom available cause of lack of snow. This Friday we had an 750 vertical meter ride from Hellandshornet. Rocky, but the snow was stable, still an epic ride...
Some shots..
.. and then we took some pow for dessert in Stordal Alpine resort in the evening..
SnowPosted by Veronica Fri, October 23, 2009 14:17:28Last season was not our best, hard packed, icy and to much sun. We actually rode our bikes in
Fjørå on snow in February... It got better, and one of our best hikes were in March when we got the chance to meet and ride with the canadian photographer Kari Medig and the guys from Norrøna at our local area. Kari were in Norway to write an article for an canadian ski magazine. An awesome, talented and engaded dude on telemark ski, that travels all over the world taking pictures of skiers and bikers...

BikePosted by Veronica Fri, October 02, 2009 16:13:46Last weekend Hafjell Bike Park had their official season end weekend. This season they added som new spice to the pot with the two new awesome tracks Rollercoaster and New School. Snorre should be the most attractive man in the bike park building business, I really don't believe there are other places in Europe that have more perfect shaped berms, jumps and alternative of good maintained dh tracks, singletracks and park packed down to one small resort...
A perfect weekend with awesome riding, great weather and nice people. We hooked up and rented a cabin with Rikke, Øystein and Hans Inge, and Hans Inge brought a couple of nice buddies named Hans and Inge... first I thought they were kidding, but really; Hans Inge, Hans
and Inge...

SnowPosted by Veronica Mon, September 21, 2009 22:57:15Pow season is just around the corner, and when the rain has just kept p***ing down this autumn, it just feels okay to let go of the bike season and start riding pow instead... Not a day goes by without a wish to Santa for a bottomless pow winter, and hours of daydreaming about the lines I'm gonna ride this winter... and then.. Bjørnar find this horror movie and give me a real turn of... There's nothing else i fear more than snow avalanche, and this film I'm sure gonna haunt me in my sleeps.. many times..

BikePosted by Veronica Fri, September 11, 2009 14:16:29This weekend, we and a gang of local riders, arranged our second
singletrack camp at our local singletracks by the fjord. Real "topptur" riding; some car shuttling, hiking 300-600m vertical meters and then a decent on bike between 600-1100 vertical meter in steep and technical terrain, with awesome fjord view.. just a normal day for us locals though...
The weekend went great, awesome riding, thrilled riders, barbecue party, music and just lots of fun... Saturday evening, with the full moon spreading glitter all over the fjord in front of us, we showed the riders own shots from the day outside on a rustic boathaous wall... the mood was so perfect, it could almost bring out a tear...
In the ending we gave out some really nice prizes from sponsors for good shots, good effort, and even a bonus for a group of three riders that made one wrong turn and got yelled at of a local farmer...
Update from one of our guests..: "..
fjords in the background, fiddlers in bunad playing in the background,
blond cow girls milkin fresh organic milk straight outa freeridin eco
mountain cows and german campers smilin and throwin smuggled bratwurst
and beer parties for bikers and snow coverd mountain peaks and glaciers
hangin above the fjord and total bluebird and giant blueberries all
over the place and singletracks paved with nothin but golden brown
dirt. Just another ordinary day of ridin at the North West Shore of
Norwegian mountainbiking, no wonder I get carried away." (- Not sure what those blueberries contained, but it sure seems like he had fun though...haha!)
Well.. don't ask me.. I was sure we had enough space on the tracks for all riders... blueberries..? Photo: Håvard Melbø
Photo: Torkel KaroliussenCan't say I've experienced so many happy faces at one time as in this weekend. It for sure feels great to contribute to make a riders day (weekend). It's our second event, and since last year the amount of participants was doubled. It seems already like we have to make an official limit of how many riders we can invite next year to our grass root event...
More shots,
check out our gallary, and Norways
stash minister, who contributed with free Rock'n Roll Lubricate bike wash for our guests (big hug!), even made a great film...
BikePosted by Veronica Tue, August 25, 2009 22:48:26This weekend we were on
Utflukt, singletrack event arranged by
Terrengsykkel (magazine). I got my first ride on 5 weeks, removed the cast one week ago, but I've been a bit optimistic on getting back on my bike within the first days... I also had my first ride on my new Foes FXR with Hammerschmidt... wooow, schmidt is really the s***!
First day on Utflukt I didn't ride, I took Torkel's place in the
Norrøna stand, and lent him my bike. I tried to make the crazy telemark skier promise to be carefull with my new bike... Torkel, Bjørnar and Aslak went out with a go pro cam on Kongsbergs singletracks, and later Torkel showed me the 18 crashes he did on my bike.. made good movie though, even if he cut out like 17 of them...
