Holy crap I can't believe I haven't remembered to update the blog in almost a month. But seriously, doesn't batfight sound awesome? It's definatly something I would watch.
Lately there hasn't been that much of riding since I caught the flu and after that I injured my arm while trying not a crush some kid on the landing. The flu is almost gone and my arm is almost fully recovered. However I got far too much work to have enough time to get anything done on my board.
I've met some really awesome people this season which is one of the reasons that this season haven't been all bad. I get to ride for 70minutes every morning and on my days off. Unfortunatly I got very few days off, depressing....
I checked out the Battery Catfight railcomp today since some of my friends were competing, they all did really well even tho none of them got to the finals. I must say the girls have some mad skills.
I actually have something ready for edit but I just can't seem to get it done, I allways find something better to do. I guess I just have to stay up really late some night and get it done.
It seems like I gotta wake up in 6½h so I better wrap this up. If someone's even reading this nowadays, I will seriously try to get the edit done within a week. My next days off are on friday and saturday a week from now, which feels like an eternity. At least then I will get to ride, film and edit.

FIRST VLOG!
The quality is shit and I don't know why, I guess I did something wrong haha!
This was really hard to do. Talking by myself to the camera and not studder.
If someone is reading this blog feedback would be nice. The riding so far is shit and this was more of a test, I mainly wanted to try to make the first one so that I would know how to improve.
I will not be able to upload this the same day as I filmed it because the connection I got is slower than slow. 6 days of work and I will be a free man for a few day. Can't wait...

FIRST VLOG EVER
Hello world!
I didn't bother to post for a long time since all I did was the basic stuff in Helsinki. I did go riding to Talma and Serena but somehow the battery died every time I tried to film something so all I got was this small clip from Serena hahaaaa!
5 Turns
So that kinda ruined it for me when I was trying to do my first vlog entry as I said I was going to do when I was going shredding for the first time this season.
However I got a job at Levi, I do work alot and mostly around the hours the slopes are open which is sad but I get to ride for free which is nice.

Never make promises or plans!
So today is the day I planning on opening my season, but the weather is all shit and I hate riding in the rain so I guess I still have to wait some more for that to happen. Maybe I should move to Cordova, Alaska. Listen to this!
Listen to the story!
I guess it's really hard on alot of people living there but for the skiers it must be awesome, I couldn't really find that much footage from this year but this shown the amount of pow they got, I think the riding is too slow but I guess he/she could be using wider skis.
Listen to the story!

Beginning of a new year!
Yay happy new year to everyone, especially to the idiot who stole my phone at y cousin's party.
The day started off really nicely with a smaller group of people meeting up at Panu's and Anna's place for some food, snacks and drinks. From there Mirkku went home since she had some friends coming over, and Aamos and the others headed to Isamu's and Nelly's.
I desided earlier to check out the party at my cousin's house to later then catch up with the rest where ever they would be at that point.
My plans went south at the point when someone taught it would be a good idea to steal my phone and noone else at the party knew my friends.
It was a really good party that went on to the early morning, I went home around 6am and the party was still going on at that hour. Too bad my phone got stolen by someone because it kinda ruined the feeling for me.
During the new year I haven't been doing that much, mostly been working which means sleeping in late every day and maybe go climbing before the next nightshift, in other words, booring as hell. But we finally got snow last friday so I might go riding on wednesday which is my only day off this week, working nights on all the other day. I'm actually at work at the moment, desided to bring my laptop since monday night can get kinda slow.
I think I promised to make a vlog post when I get to go riding for the first time so let's see how that goes. At least it's a good reason to try out the GoPro. If we get abit more snow in helsinki I might go hit some street spots if someone else is up for it.
I think I will know if I get work in lapland around next week which is really exciting because I think it's been snowing alot up there so you could actually get to ride some pow, not like in swizerland where it snowed like 1m in 2 days, that's just unreal.
Wow! I just had the weirdest customer, this big lady who said alot of weird shit all the time, and then added some seconds later "Just kidding..". She asked me once a minute if I know where I'm going which was kinda funny since she didn't know the name of the restaurant. Luckily I got her to the right place since she was beginning to freak me out abit.

Yay!
Christmas was awesome as usual. LOTS of food and alot of hanging out with the family and relatives. You don't need that many words to describe christmas: Sauna, chillin, porrage, chillin, ham and everything that goes with it, chillin, gifts. And then repeat that for three days except without the gifts. Oh ye, let's not forget all the screaming children on a sugar-high, good times.
I got some nice books that I am excited to read, especially one written by Douglas Adams which is part of the series including The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you haven't read it you should, it's amazing.
I'm not going to mention everything I got but one thing that made me really happy was a backpack suitable for hiking (snowboard hiking) with all the straps for showels etc.
All in all it was a really nice christmas even tho it was stressfull, so still kinda nice it's over.
For the moment it seems like I'm kinda unemployed so I guess I have to drive some cab. So not working at the restaurant anymore, which is fine because it kinda gives me the extra motivation to get a job at some resort. And looking for work is what I've been doing after christmas, and climbing ofc.
Tomorrow I'm going to sleep in late and start celebrating new years when I wake up, so that's goign to be alot of fun. I still don't have a clue of where I'll be celebrating later on but I guess I'll figure something out.
So I guess all I have to say is Happy Holidays and new year etc etc etc.

Herou!
I've been too tired to blog lately and honestly I haven't really done that much of anything since my last post.
Me and Aamos took part in the Tofu Bouldering competition and placed 91st and 75th out of 115 or something, it was still alot of fun climbing and watching the really good climbers do their thing.
There's been alot of random partying ending up in various funny situations. I think it was two weeks ago on tuesday when me and Lalli went out for some beer. The next day neither could even remember how we got home when Lalli woke up beside me in my bed with his head in the foot end.
It might be that the partying has spun abit out of control lately, it's a good thing my christmas usually is the time when you just chill out with the family and relatives.
I'm still not done christmas shopping which is no surprise, and I still don't have any idea of how I will be spending my winter. The fact that I haven't been able to snowboard at all is depressing enough. I've applied for some jobs at Levi and Ruka but so far I haven't heard back from anyone so I guess I'll start calling people back this week.
Last saturday was epic. Started off with this monthly bouldering comp they have at Cave combined with their christmasparty. Even tho I tried hard to keep it in control, the drinking got abit out of control, it's a good thing I wasn't the only one with this problem. Only sad thing was that I totally lost track of time (and my belongings) and missed Mirella's birthday party.
Now it's time to start getting ready for the next christmasparty. The restaurant in our building is having one, there was some talk about food and neverending drinks and so on.
