Off to Norway in my new car to see Trudi and ride in Surf City! Went by the Red Bull office and picked some cans up so all good to go (:

Cable-riding
We woke up at 11.3o this morning! Crazy late but never the less me, Elin and Sara had breakfast before they went their way and I went to cable. As I got there, I helped them out a little by painting a door in exchange for some laps on the cable. I learned krypts and air raily’s and switch ts 180’s (haha soo stoked!).Mr Cable Operator
After I’d been riding for an hour or so, Elin and Sara showed up again and they’d brought sushi!
So, I just walked straight up after falling on a pete rose attempt and sat down with them, still in my wetsuit. Had the best Sushi in a while and then kept walking back to the dock for my next ride! Love you girls for feeding me!
I started trying new tricks with Ted and he got really close on a crow-mobe while I kept falling on Pete’s. Wakeskate-girl No#1 was there too, so good to see her shred!
Finished off the day with riding doubles with Ted and shot some of his riding. Edit to come… (:
I laugh like non stop on all the material from shooting Ted, apparently he’s a pretty funny dude!
Cable and friends!
Just drove 2 hours to one of our newly built cable parks! Excited to ride again and been throwing airtricks for the first time in a loong while! yeeey! At one point I was the only one on the cable so I got picked up! (:
Now, drinking wine on my best friend Elins Balcony and about to go party in this super smal town which is still pretty fun!!
SM
Glöm inte att anmälningen för både kabel och båt SM är öppen nu! Det hade jag gjort, så dags att anmäla sig nu.. Checka www.wake.se

Stockholm
Been home, not wakeboarding for a couple of days. Been catching up with some friends here, fixed a new phone (thank you Jesper!) and went out with Jessica who I haven’t seen in like 4 months! Had such a good time with her and her friends. Now, working on getting a car to continue my travels.

Red Bull Cope n’ Waken – late
Found this post that apparently never got published, anyways, here it is!:
One of the funnest events I’ve ever been to! The whole day was great! Perfect weather, sunny, no wind and lots of stoak in the air. We started off with some test-runs from 10 in the morning. (This was though after my favorite Natascha woke me up with breakfast.)
There was about 10 open women entering this comp, all of which were cable riders except for me. Or I guess I don’t really know what I am anymore. Or wait, Julie was there so I guess there was two of us.

Anyways, the set-up was great with rails and kickers from CCP and a sesitec 2.0 system. My testrun went good except for that I couldn’t seem to get the handle on my spins. It’s weird riding 2.0 when you haven’t done it for a while. At least the rails worked out in my qualifying heat and I think thats prob why I made it though since the girls were throwing flips of the kickers and air tricks!
I was stoked on seeing Denise again and she killed the air-tricks as usual. Getting me pumped to throw a tiinie little railey. It ended up with me and Denise in a head to head final and she beat me but I got a good second place. Andreas Kjaergaard rode so good with double S-bends and backmobes in his run so he won the Men’s category. Good day for team O’Neill so to speak..

Riders Area…
Uddevalla
So the team is finally home in Sweden and me and John John went straight to WCPE, the perfect spot. Going to hit the 2.0 up tomorrow before maybe going home or doing something else. I don’t really know yet. I’ve had such a good time hanging out with all of my team-mates and the other European riders who I only see like once a year. Guess the next time will be Europeans in South Africa in January.
Well, my sleep is all messed up but I guess I should try to go to sleep in this cabin that smells like wet bindings. Can’t wait to play on the sesitec tomorrow!
5th Place
I was so nervous when I was about to ride yesterday so I fell twice on my toeside backroll (which I always land otherwise). Not the best run but still,now I can use the pick-up-line that “I’m one of the top 5 female wakeboarders in the world”. 😉
Congrats to Raimi Merritt, from the US, the new world champion!
Final!
Riding in the World Wakeboard Championships 2011 Finals today against some of the worlds best riders! So stoked to have made it this far in my first ever open women worlds. Can’t wait to ride! (:
