Pressure - Update from JT Holmes
What up!
skied today in Roldal norway. comp qualifier was today, i was prequalified. Last year the ekstremsportveko (extreme sport week) brought a Norwegian news story and then you as well have posted the broadcast that aired of us ski basing on the same channel. Now it has been brought to my attention these overly flattering articles of news that i will be skiing in this event. accordingly hella people are coming up to me and saying how they are looking forward to see me ski. Lots of expectations it seem! I guess that is what i get for skiing in ski movies.
well, the snow is rotten and melted back, but the venue is pretty long and not bad at all so i will let you know how it goes. Cody is here, lots of my base brothers, and my homey Stefan Hausl form the Nordica team. Psyched for tomorrow...will keep you posted. here are the article links.

I made it to norway and we drove straight to the mountains, after my flight landed at 9 pm. TomErik, Espen Per and the rest of Molde base have been the usual entertaining hosts
Here is a shot of our first day on our ski base mission. we just built the jump and bailed off the cliff without skis as to make it down to the valley before the fog bank that was coming fast! the shot is of me espen and Tom erik.
today was even more interesting, guys going off with vintage Norwegian sleds, snow racers (kid trikes with skis) and of course skis. winds were bad, winds were good, played a little game of spot the gust here and had another long day in the mountains that made the beer taste great.
signing off for now.
regards and thanks all for the support, the ski base stuff we are and will be capturing will be sweet! we have a first decent in mind off of the trollstigen and some more silliness for gridset cliff. I feel i need to spend some more time in the winter moths here to take down some of the insane big mountain lines that are staring at us. big big rad lines ending with and without big parachutable cliffs. this place RULES.
