Anja Pärson, Vancouver

i’ve been letting my ankle rest now for two days, drooling my eyes out watching the others ride and it actually feels a bit better. I’ve decided to give it a shot and ride tomorrow, even if it’s just to film Charlotte for our upcoming Thai-edit. It’s so hard being here and not wakeboarding, specially since the others are killing it! Lucas stuck a new trick today like 3rd try and Sam’s shredding every set. I can def. feel like it’s contest training since everyone here is going to World Cup and the vibe is there.

At the moment, all I can do to prepare for the comp is to work on my professional tanning career so that’s what I’ve been doing. My sister also mentioned something about the Pro Swedish Skier, Anja Pärson, who 2010 in the Olympics in Vancouver had a gnarly crash. The next day Anja went out and rode home the Bronze to Sweden so today I’ve been stalking her for inspiration and wow, what an athlete she is!

In Swedish, about the competition. Painkillers and stretching it is!
