My trip going back up to the boys in finland.
Probably not too known globaly but atleast the readers in Östersund should se how hillarios this is. The Thai confederation seems to have one standard design for their mobile kitchens and now they surgically inserted one of their famous Thaifood carts in a real building, how asian?
Got some more treatment for my back problem? ? ?
Revisited a spot from last year?s visit.
Went to the IceHotel.
And now I?m back i Ruka, hoping to be able to shred and shoot as soon as possible.
/Ted.
Recieved a holiday greeting from the guys up in Ruka.
Thnx Simon, Tsz-hin & Victor!!!
Got some photos from the guys up in Ruka.
Exactly two weeks untill I head up to visit them and hopefully get some footy. Can?t wait, just gotta love jibbers nagging about the cold.
So we went to Stockholm Olympic stadium part to witness a really strange KOS and part to accept our award for best jib-film for Freeride Video Awards. Despite the rain a lot of people crowded the old arena and the vibe was really good. A lot of brands and resorts were there doing some marketing and Ted went to the Atomic tent to represent along with the big boys; Andreas and Elias- really cool dudes that totally killed it at the comp. After that and some visits to other sponsors it was time to accept the award, the show was a bit delayed but still alot of people stayed around and it was sort of a big moment for the entire TFJ. Thanks freeride.se.
Going home after winterjam and sthlm, pics will be up by tomorrow.
Time to start shooting?!
Rovaniemi airport(hooker central) I think they got it wrong quite a small aircraft finally home(scandic sthlm) So after spending a night in a most likely flee and crabinfested hotel,
gotta get that checked btw, I caught an insanely earlybird flight to Riga, Latvia.
Know what you?re thinking but I had to go there to get over to Stockholm.
Why Sthlm you might ask, well this trip isn?t really just about my back
but also about bigbro and me recieving an award for this shortfilm Norrland at
Winterjam or KOS if you?d like.
So after a breathtaking flight right over the swedish capitol
and a ride back into the city going to bed in another
hotelroom getting stoked about tomorrow!
the "bus" to Rovaniemi My quite shady hotelroom spotti'n urban 'n other fly shit
So as some of the readers(do we have any?) might know a part of the crew is in Finland training, filming and just having a blast. I, Ted have been having a sort of hard time with a sort of crooked spine and pelvis and therefore needed to get back to Sweden and get treatment. That led to me embarking on this journey which ended up being way harder and wierder than I imagined. So follow me through long minivan trips to great places with strange people.

Looptroop rockers even brought back the retired Cosmic for this one, that?s how important a message it is. We just got a racist political party in the swedish government and with all that?s going on in the rest of europe(mainly france) they made this happen. Rellay great.

Just moved in to the new headquarters/office in central Östersund with Anton & Petter
Packing up stayed @ our friend Melker's B&B Lunchi'n @ IKEA Victor in brand new boost? ?Where goning to Finlaaaand!?
The crew consisting of; Tsz-hin Tang, Ted Forsström Jacobsson, , Victro Menga & Simon Eriksson on the long and winding road to Finland

Deep in the woods posted up like a mailbox but it's still all good. Hope the rest of the crew is doing just as well as we are(probably not though)

An interview I had with the local news TV(tv4 ösd.) this morning.
