I rode my LCQ today and made it through to semi’s!! yey! 

So far two people of team Sweden has gone through their first runs, Johan Wikström and Mattias Hoppe. Jeremia rode his LCQ’s today and even though he rode good he ended up 2nd in his heat and is therefore out of the comp.

I had the day off and spent it exploring Italy with my dad who flew down here on tuesday. I looove Italian ice cream!

love the mountains!

Later we had dinner and hung out at a bar close to the hotel with half the danish team. Sweet day!

Rode my quater finals today and I got in a though heat with Raimi Merritt from the US, Chen Li Li from China and Deidre Van Neikerk from South Africa. Well let’s just say that this wasn’t my best contest run since I ended up riding with the wrong rope-lenght and fell on my heel 3 which I otherwise have super consistent and so I got 3rd in the heat and have to ride in the LCQ (Last Chance Qualifying) on friday to pull through to the Semi’s. Actually pretty disappointed but afterwards team Sweden, Norway, Amber, Jules and I went down-town Milan and damn what a city! Here’s some pics from today:

The results:

Yees! My board (and the rest of my stuff) finally got here! I’m soo excited to put on fresh clothes since it’s pretty warm here so my t-shirt has not been the best one.. The only sad thing is that my stuff were wet when I threw it in the bag after Copenwaken so you can imagine how JohnJohn complains about how our room smells now…  Oh and my can of expensive lotion exploded all over my board so at least I’ve got a well moisturized  board now!

Today we had the opening ceremony and I rode my test-run today (on Jeremia’s board). It didn’t go too well since his boots were too big for me and the board just felt weird. But got my sweet gear now so we’ll see what happens in the quaters tomorrow. Jeremia Hoppe and Johan Wikström of team Sweden are riding their first run tomorrow too, stay updated! (:

Italian pizza rocks my world!

Just woke up in Italy and heading downstairs for some hotel-breakfast. The rest of team Sweden had their testruns yesterday but my boardbag got lost in the airport so hopefully it’s waiting for me in the lobby now and then I’m off to try the course out for the IWWF World Wakeboard Championships 2011. Yesterday we had a day off which we spent eating italian pizzas at the beach and tanning. And I guess I’m getting really good at checking in girls cause that’s what the rest of team Sweden where doing all day long.

Well, gotta run! 

Denise beat me this time! She killed it though and apparently it was close. Well, at least I got some new stuff from O’Neill, off to the after party now! Better update tomorrow! (:

Red Bull Cope n’ waken

Looking good for tomorrow! (:

I was home for 2 whole nights which gave me plenty time to wash my clothes and reload. Now, I’m on my way to Red  Bull Cope n’ Waken in Denmark with a breakfast consisting of cliffbars and water.. Oh and yes! Got internet in the train all the way so these five hours should feel like nothing! Hopefully I’ll be able to get a set in when I get there! laterrr

Some pics from the 4th of July spent on lake Holden with Abby and her friends. Such a good time “God bless Amerrrica!”

As it got later we had some beer, reloaded the boat and wake-surfed while the first fireworks started to go off.

Went to cable with Terry, Justin and Dylan today and landed 4 new tricks and to grab my toe 5! Soo happy!! We played the “Can you ride 2 laps-game” and we all pushed each other. So while the dudes were working on getting their 9’s I kept pushing my 5’s and tried some 7’s. After riding for like 2-3 hours straight it was almost 4 pm so we were kind of hungry since we never had breakfast so we went for pizza.

Justin made sure his board was on tightOWC
