Hometurf is a collection of the best clips and moments the 2020 season had to offer, and as the title indicate everything is shot in and around my hometown Tromsø, northern Norway.
I have thought about this combo for a while, prolly done before by someone, but I havent seen it, so stoked I was able to pull it off 🙌
Just wanted to make an edit from my backyard. Let me know what you think.
I wanted to learn some new tricks in the easter, so I went home to my backyard.
Clips from my awesome season! Learned a lot this year. Especially because I was skiing so many other places than in my backyard. Thanks to Rødde Folkehøgskole for all the travels!
Northern Norway are known for its famous mountains and fjords. What is less known is that Tromsø, a city 69 degrees north, also is a town perfect for urban skiing. Tromsø is also called "the Paris of the North" (hence the title), because of its early trading history with bigger towns in Europe.
Our local terrain parks are not impressive and are rarely changed throughout the winter, therefore the streets are the answer for keeping skiing varied and interesting. I hope to show that urban skiing doesn´t always need to be so demanding. Everything you really need is a good buddy, some shuffles, a camera and two headlamps.
AktivFilm needed some ski clips for a project and I had the opportunity to help out on short notice. I got the clips later and this is what I made out of it. Weather was perfect, and the filming was really good, but the jump was kinda trashy. Anyway I tried to do my best and I think it turned out quite all right.
Get out in the Streets and Backcountry!
I still think there's something special about collecting and saving your best clips over a season to make it into something better than a bunch of spread out single clips 👨🎨 I hope you enjoy it!
Big thanks to my filmers Håvard Sundby, Elias Henderson, Janis Zulis, Mikael Fossbakk, Sindre Aarøy Holtet and William Rodt.
Special thanks to my sponsors Papahop (papahop.no) and Skevik (skevikskis.com)!
Lakselvbukt, the place where I grew up, and always come back to when the local hill disapoints. Did not think I would make an edit from my backyard this year, but I found out that I can still learn tricks there!

Thanks to Skevik skis
69 Degrees north and still no snow all january, we drove out of the city and to a local skatepark. We found snow and and obstacles to ride :D
Went home this easter, tried tricks I haven`t done in 10 years, and even learned some new ones 🙋♂️ Hanging out in the backyard just like old times 🙏

Skiing has always been fun to me, and gradually I have discovered more and more opportunities in the surroundings where I live, and I hope more people will get inspired to ski here.

Thanks to Downskis 🙌
Me and my friends rarely get to hit quarter pipe and step up jumps, so we decided to make it ourselves. This is the clips I got from it.
So this was my season. I would love to get some constructive criticism.
Last season was a blast, and got even better in april when I started repping papahop (papahop.no) and Skevik https://skevikskis.com/. These are shots only from last april, many of them I already posted in a season edit, but there are some new shots as well 🙌 Enjoy ⛷️

When the terrain park in the local hill disappoint me this year like every other year, it`s good that I can shred a little at home. My backyard very rarely disappoint me.
