I don´t, there are none in Norway. If there was, I wouldn´t be entering.

Where do you ride? – Your Spot(s)
My local spot is a parking lot next to a grocery store. It´s slanted sideways, but I mainly roll straight forward. The spot is good for rolling, not great for circles and that has probably influenced my style. It´s the only spot in town, pretty much. In the wintertime I hibernate.

Can you tell us a bit about the riding scene in your town?

I spent January 2009 in Algarve, Portugal riding with my friend. It was truly awesome to escape winter for a while and have nothing to worry about but riding. The green mile seems like such a great spot, and I´d love to see Phil Dolan, James Smith etc. ride in person. Helsinki seems like the place to be this year, I might go. Both Austin and Athens seems to have really nice scenes and riders. Love the videos by Dane Beardsley. Australia just seems.....nice. 

Is there a goal you would like to reach concerning your riding?
I think I have reached some kind of goal already, and that’s having loads of fun riding without having too much pressure on progressing. I mean, I have learned more and harder tricks than I thought I ever would, and to be able to just go out and have fun doing hiker and whiplash variations puts the biggest smile on my face and can turn any day into a perfect one. It´s all about the feeling of riding! 

Which trick/combo do you work on at the moment?
G-turned mc.circle with both feet on the pegs, fire hydrant thrown into a g-turned hiker (tring to get the hang of some riding in circles) more whiplash\hiker variations and I want to learn some crossfooted stuff. 

What kind of music do you like? Tell us your 3 favourite songs
I´m what they call an audiophile and that also means I love music. I don´t own a television and spend a lot of time in front of my stereo. I listen to all kinds of music: Jazz, folk, hip-hop, DIY punk, indie, pop, postrock etc. Nothing gets me going like some good hardcore or related music, though. 

Three favourite songs...that´s too hard! Right now I´m hooked on Hot Water Music - Where we belong! 

Tell us 3 things you like and 3 things you don’t like
Positive: Positivity; living the vegan lifestyle; riding late summer nights. 

Negative:Negativity; violence towards innocent beings; not being able to ride during wintertime. 

What is your job?
I work in a company that specializes in developing machines and other equipment, primarily for the industry. We have also made some equipment for physically handicapped people and such. I am a 3D cad tech and automation tech.

What are your hobbies besides flatland and do they influence your way of riding?
My hobbies are my stereo system, making and eating vegan food and listening to music. I guess they influence my riding in some way. I try and like to keep a positive flow in my everyday life, listen to good music, eat good food, have a good time on a bike, hang with positive people. Having a positive outlook definitely helps when sessions turn sour and you can´t pull shit! He he. 

Bikecheck: St. Martin Eiffel 18.9" with Odyssey Flatland Forks, Suelo stem and Shadow Conspiracy Vultus 9" bars. I love tall and wide handlebars, anything else does not make a proper bike. I ride Primo gripper seats; because that’s the only seat I´ll ever want to ride. Until the industry comes up with a better and newer version of this seat I refuse to change it. I have broken some seatposts, so I ride a shadow conspiracy post. Cranks and sprocket are Suelo, Odyssey pedals; shadow chain reaches a Nankai with Profile shell laced to a Fly front rim with an Odyssey Chase G 1.75 tire. Up front I ride a Fly front hub laced to another Fly front rim and the Odyssey Chase G 1.85" tire. Oh, and messed up Suelo pegs that must be 6 years old now.  



Last words:This is the place for shoutouts, wise words or whatever you would like to tell the world…
