Sweden, Vol. 6






Dear Jake,


So that's it, we're back home after a sick week of shooting. After our last session in Mora, we drove to Falun (and almost ran over two gigantic elks on the way!!) to spend our last night at Ludwinch's parents' holiday home, some miles outside of town. The sickest place ever! Lena and Per woke us up in the morning with an ill breakfast ready on the table, thanks a lot for taking care of us so well! Killer times in Sweden. We'll be back!

sweden, Vol. 5









Dear Jake,


The last day of the trip started off lazier than the previous ones, knowing we killed it the day before and that there was no filmer to capture the action. We left Ludde's place, drove about an hour south to check out the city of Mora for a last mission, and ended up finding the sickest spot on the town's landmark. I would've bet my pinky that we'd get busted in a second there - but just like the whole week, the Swedish police just did not care about us shredding in town. Actually nobody did, late night pedestrians didn't even turn around to the roaring sound of the winch towing the boys in! What an epic place this country is!!

Sweden, Vol. 4





Yo Jake,


We moved down to Malung yesterday, Ludde "LudWinch" Leikner's hometown, scoped some spots and shot another allnighter. We totally milked it and got home tired but stoked! LudWinch unfortunately hurt his thumb the day before and wasn't able to shred himself, but he was still hanging out, drove his winch and let us crash at his place. Thanks Ludde! Blom has been around shooting the past days too, he just left back to Stockholm with Johannes, our filmer homie. So we're on a photo-only mission for today, our last day out here. Let's see what we'll get!

Sweden, Vol. 3


Dear Jake, 

You know those days when nothing comes together, no matter how hard you try? Today was one of those days out here. We tried, fell, will get up and try again tomorrow.

It's still snowing!

Sweden, Vol. 2









Dear Jake,


Shooting until 4 am, getting up around noon, grab some food and continue the nightshoot mission again at 2 pm (since it's getting dark at that time) - that's the rhythm we got into during the past two nights. Plus, it's been snowing for 48 hours straight now, this place looks like winter wonderland! First tracks with the cars on the parking lot of our place when we came back early morning. Now say you're not jealous!

Sweden, Vol. 1






Dear Jake,


With Chris "Storman" Sörman, Stephan "Mu" Maurer and Ludwig "Ludde" Leikner, I have a sick crew up here in Sweden ready to get creative in the streets. Since our main destination Stockholm had seen temperatures above the freezing point the past week and no snow is left there, we made our way up to Sälen today. After two days of travelling, stoked to finally be on the spot and ready to get going!

Check back the following days to get updates on our shoot here!
