22.07.11...

On friday afternoon Norway was hit by news that know country or person should have to heard... But that was only the start of it. With every minute that followed it seem to only just worse. Everyone was told to head home and stay indoor for fears of more explosions.  It was all to much for everyone to handle. It only took minutes for the news to reach everyone in Oslo and world. People just set in front of there TV's and computers for more information... Its was the hard thing I've had to watch unfold and experience... 

In minutes of hearing of the shooting on Utoya someone started a facebook page, suggesting everyone should light a candle for the kids that were sadly taken and with in know time there was thousand people unloading picture of there candles burning though out the homes... It was truly amazing and great to be apart of... This country is stronger then more people will ever know. It makes me proud to be living in a beautiful, strong and open minded place... 

 Adam showing he respect with one of the best pic I've ever seen...

 Thousand of people of have been leaving flower and candle out the front of the church to pay the respects.. Its all a bit to much to take in...

The love never seem to end...

Everyone of my friends and there friend were at work or at home when I the attack hit, Thank God. But many weren't so lucky. So rest in peace. To the young and old the were lost on 22.07.11, Norway will never forget u...

One day road trip to Hemsedal...

Our friends in Hemsedal were having a partying for our friends Jens birthday and asked us to come up. So steemy hired us all a car and we got out of the small city for a farmer party. The drive up was real good cause we picked up the car late and convertible, so we could enjoy the 3 hour in the sun, minis the 5 or 10 minutes it rain. In which the roof stayed down... We were about an hour from Hemsedal, when when we seen a sign for a meteorite crater site. We had some time so we decided to check it out... It was 75 kroner each and had some young kids running it. He gave us a full presentation about the crater and then sent us to check it out... We walked around for a while and didn't really see anything... On the way back steemy realized he had lost the car key. He hoped he'd left them in the office. We got back to no car in the parking lot. Car stolen... Shit....

We asked the guys working there if they'd see it. They said NO. Once we went to call someone they pulled out our keys and told us its around the back..... hahahahahaahah..... 

They then proceeded to tell us our they dont know and anything about meteorite's and made up the whole thing with the norwegian government known and all there scams there got to get the tourist in..... Smart kids...

Pimp my hire car...

Convertible fun...

We were to excited to put the roof on, so we just let it rain...

Nothing to see here....  haha

The Boss in Frognerparken.....

There not much better then walking out your front door, skating 2 mins down the road to the best park in Oslo, only to watch your favourite skater. The last time I seen all the guys do a demo was a few years ago..  for the opening for Frankston skate park. It was pretty rad to seeing Reynolds skate again.. Brendon Westgate is one the most amazing skater to watch. Herman only put down 2 tricks but that all that needed from that man. Probably the best tre flip I've ever seen down the five.... Leo, always kills it...

 Once I turned up there was about 100 kids rolling into the front gates of Frognerparken...

 The park was full anyway from all the warm whether we've had... (minus the sun)

 The Boss, ollie up the 5, next front 180...

 Reynolds Kickie...

 Brendon Westgate, Front lippy..

 They had a long ledge and 5 stair with an out ledge to work... Plus a million Norwegian kids

 Leo, in a line Front blunt first ledge then front noseblunt...

 Not sure who this kids was but he ripped. Front noseslide, shove out...

Brendon Westgate always rips... Kickie up the big 5. So sick...

So stoke to see those guys ripping in Oslo...

Worst person alive in Oslo....

About a week ago, I got email from Kelly asking to come to Oslo for her last week end in europe. I told her to come up. A couple of days later, she was here enjoying the expensive beer, 24 hour sun, the World Championship BellyFlop competition, Frognerparken, Cider, Revovler Oslo, Srypo, HJ veggie burgers, closed mimi bottle museum, 5 by 8 size room, friends, that she snores, Aker Brygge, rain, Star jumps, bad jokes, 2am walks around the city, etc.....

First night Kelly got here we took her Revolver for some drinks. When we got there she informed me that this was the first time she had drunk on her euro trip. Weirdo.
Then next day we got up to a nice hangover and I took her sight seeing around Oslo. We check the Aker brygge, around the harbour, did some star jump at Oprah's House.
After that we headed to Frognerparken for the World Championship BellyFlop Competition. There was alot of laughs. It was basically dude doing the biggest horsey off the 10m diving board onto the stomachs with a few double back flip into a horsey...

Cant remember what this was called, but we watched about 3 or 4 races while drinking and eating all our free food and drink that everyone was handing out down on Aker Brygge...

Star jumps at Oprah house... 

Kelly knows how to capturing the moment... 

Yes, that a real tattoo of watch on someones arm...

Want to thank Kelly for coming. Had a lot of fun. See u in a few weeks...

24 hours of daylight.....

After a few weeks with out my camera changer cause I think I may of misplace it in the bin somehow and this surprise 24 hour visit from Anita, we wasted know time got ready, run to the shop, bought some bbq's, booze, food, changed camera battery, etc... and made our way down to Frognerparken to spent the day enjoy the sun of this amazing sunday.

When we arrived it looked like the whole of Oslo had the same idea! 

Adam, Mellis and Anita... Since Mellis had arrived it had rain the whole 3 days, then Anita turns up and its 22 degrees and perfect...

Mellis, Anita, Jacqui, Em, Adam, Steemy relaxing the shit out of it, with pace!

Celebrity heads, Anita by far got the worst one...

Every bin in the park looks like this after a sunny day...

After staying at the park till about 8pm. We headed home to meet Reidor and Preben. Reidor had talked about this mini park right near our flat but i could never find it. 

Last night I finally got to catch it out, Its super old but still really good to skate and you can have more then alot of fun on it for hours... The best part as well it's only 400m from our apartment...

Norwegian bottle opener, all you need is a shoe and a friend...

10:30pm and still skating in daylight...

He didn't make it...

After the boys didn't get the cork out, steemy spent a good 15 mins banging the bottle on a flat surface  till it exposed all over him and emma... Not smart...

After skating till 11:30pm, we run home showered and headed to Fugazi...

Waiting for everyone to come out the bar. It's was 3:15am and way to light for anyones liking...

After getting home I got a call from Adam to look out the window, only to find him doing mainy's down our street on his new bike, he tired to impress me but ended up coming off second best.

All in all it was amazing day. So happy to have Reidor, Mellis and Anita. There more then welcome anytime, let just hope it for longer next time! But i've still got still some days with Reidor in town to do some more shredding...
