The lack of snow is obvious these days... or is it?
It's been a while since we ruled the mountains back in Switzerland. So we figured a way to do some riding here, on a nice sunny fall day.

It seems like my hard drive is full of surprises. The latest finding is this. I was maneuvering the camera this day because the doctor told me that its a bad idea to go downhill on a bike with a broken hip.

Watch it in Hd or SD]]> motionals http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080913-204755 iTEN / i10 CREW Sat, 13 Sep 2008 18:47:55 GMT http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/comments.php?y=08&m=09&entry=entry080913-204755 http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080909-191610
While I was cleaning my harddrive from crap, I found this, which is not crap. So I put it here, its from this summer when I and henrik went to Gesunda. Some really nice shots for sure! Watch it! (only available in HD for now)

Not so many pictures from this trip, but here is one.

...one more thing, I found some nice material from Davos as well, maybe you will have the opportunity to see it some day.

I´ve been hanging out in our bike park this week, not with my bike, but with my new friend. As you may not know, there was several dump trucks dumping some dirt at the bike park last weeks. We have adjusted some old stuff to make it more rideable. One of the biggest changes is a new step down instead of a little "table top jump" (or something). Today we started on a brand new dirt line with three jumps in a row (only two at this point), and it´s almost done already :), except many hours of shaping, doh!
Thats it for now.]]> stories http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080626-135244 iTEN / i10 CREW Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:52:44 GMT http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/comments.php?y=08&m=06&entry=entry080626-135244 http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080622-230446
The summer is in full bloom, which obviously means that we've been hitting the Bikepark. The first couple of days Henrik and I did all of the riding, while Niclas was manning the cameras. Then I messed up my knee again, so I had to grab a camera as well. Fortunately, Niclas felt that his hip was up for some riding, so I had some more stuff to shoot. We're all super stoked that he is back in the saddle!

Beside random riding action, the follow has been going down;
Henrik has been practicing his poses, a lot, really..
His vanity was punished by the flatty gods.

I'm just going to shell out some random pictorials now, keep working on your tannage kids!

Invertion!
Racer boy 1, Racer boy 2.
Whippage, twice for good measure.
Send more pants!
First you have to walk, then you can play.
Gear check, and some other gear as well.
These are fun! So is walking apparently?
Niclas hip now allows him to walk up tzee hill.

I've been feeling bad about the quality (or lack there of) of the pictorials we've been putting up on the blog lately. So I went ahead and got some better equipment.
To try it out, Henrik and I went to the local trail and raced around. The trail is pretty sweet, it's got roots and some nice and speedy open sections. The only problem is that you have to walk up, which makes Henrik a tired biker :(.
The bottom section of the trail is in a narrow and dark part of the woods, which is a problem because Henrik's afraid of the dark. But he steeled himself, and I promised to use my flash to guide him. Bonus flash.

On another note, the clothing line is almost here, it's going to be schweet.


Aus!]]> stories http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080616-222054 iTEN / i10 CREW Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:20:54 GMT http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/comments.php?y=08&m=06&entry=entry080616-222054 http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080602-215502
Not a lot has been going down lately, at least not riding wise. We've been way too busy working on our yet to be released line of threads.

We've spent limited time in the bikepark, which by the way is nice and dry. Berglind and I made it out there once(!) before his previously mentioned injury. (Which by the way is healing nicely, but slowly.)

Besides not riding (yeah, working sucks), I've been out driving the Cooper. I found a sweet road and I thought I would kill some corners, but some Cows didn't agree.
Eat more iTEN Burgers people!

All for now.]]> stories http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080602-215502 iTEN / i10 CREW Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:55:02 GMT http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/comments.php?y=08&m=06&entry=entry080602-215502 http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080512-102055
This weekend Berglind and Henrik were out riding some downhill at Ekerö Bikepark, and Berglind had a little spill. He skid out and flew off his bike in a high-speed grass section, and managed to fall on the only rock in sight. This unfortunately cost him a fractured pinkie and a hip which is now i two pieces.
The Doc' says 6 weeks until he is bike-ready, Berglind said two..
Pics to come! Healing vibes for our boy!

Part two;
Please excuse my harsh lettering in the headline, but sometimes it's called for.
Some yokels have concluded that downhill apparently isn't a very dangerous sport (sweet!). Check out this article. There are some awesome parts, in Swedish though.

"Han berättar att de vanligaste orsakerna till skador vid downhill-åkning, enligt andra studier, är att man kört för fort och tappat kontrollen samt mekaniska haverier som att framgaffeln går av eller att man tappar framhjulet."

Basically, they've concluded that the most common reason for getting hurt while riding downhill is going too fast and losing control. -No shitnuts?!
Other common reasons are forks breaking in half, -really?

That's all for now kiddies.]]> stories http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080512-102055 iTEN / i10 CREW Mon, 12 May 2008 08:20:55 GMT http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/comments.php?y=08&m=05&entry=entry080512-102055 http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080511-131142
During a day that seemed to be a nice day of riding, Henrik and I was at the new downhill course in Flottsbro. Many people had gathered to compete in the Swedish downhill cup. I was just there playing around in the course while Henrik was going a bit more focused in to every corner. When the competition started, I switched to camera-gear and spotted some nice shooting angles along the course.

Some riders were going really fast in the super dry course, but suddenly an evil dark cloud came by and turned the "super dry" into "wet", and made rocks and other stuff a little bit more slippery, but that didn´t stop the riders from going fast.

In the end, it had been a nice day and Henrik managed to get a second place in the sport class.

Head over to motionals and have a look at the race!

Here is a short film from the Swedish Downhill Cup.
I was experimenting with moving camera angles during the recording of this film. It´s hard but some of the result came out pretty good.

The boys were inspired by our sushi experience in the BigCity the other week, so we decided to make our own SushiFish! We also wanted to include some of the other stuff we had gotten in Zürich, so we made a sweet crab/avocado/cabbage salad. Then Henrik was put on deep frying duty, while Niclas and I focused on more classic stuff. When we had made loads of boring Maki rolls, and some Nigiri pieces (alot), I went freestyle!

Long story short, about four hours after we had started, it was time for dinner(23pm)! We had a pretty massive table set up, complete with Japanese beer. Unfortunately we had filled up on shrimp chips while we were cooking. Stupid.
But the Sushi was tasty anyway! (Too bad about the kitchen..)

So last night we were invited to some party at "The Clinic". Yup, sounds a bit sketchy, but hey! It turned out to be an old hospital that had been converted to apartments for seasoneeers. -Awesome. The bathrooms were fashionably decorated, much better than Swedish hospitals.
The party was divided on two floors, and the band went up and down in the elevator, two give everyone a good show. Niclas liked the band more than the DJs, while Henrik liked "the bar" the most. Speaking of tzee bar, it had a two for one special, so we got some backup beers. (Yeah yeah, bad plug for a sweet pictorial.)
After that, we borrowed some signage from the bathroom and caught a taxi for a 30 second ride home.
Great success!

Oh, please excuse the iPhone pictorials.]]> stories http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080408-215411 iTEN / i10 CREW Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:54:11 GMT http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/comments.php?y=08&m=04&entry=entry080408-215411 http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080402-182351

So it's April already, and we've been hanging out in the Alps for over two months now. Time for another motional, with footage from all over. I wanted to make it more of a classic snowboard movie, or is it called a film? Let's call it a moviefilm.
I was going for a roadtrippy oldschool feel with the editing, hence the sweet colors.

Yup yup, get it while it's fresh!

After dropping them off, we decided to check out Zürich for a bit.
We got a very helpful map to guide us in the right direction.

Our first objective was to park our sweet ride. We found a nice garage, with suitable company for our red friend. We then went for a stroll and found some of the famous water fountains. We also realized that our office is way up in the mountains, and Zürich is not.
After some shop-looking and a lot of walking, we needed food. Time for lunch!
We did the whole Sushi-bar-with-conveyor-belt thing. The food was awesome, but slightly more expensive than what our understanding of the menu had suggested.
More walking followed, and with way to much food bouncing around, it was time for another sit down. So we did the Starbucks thing. Niclas practiced his Terminator impression, while Henrik and I just chilled out.

We spent an hour or so car-spotting. We saw loads of nice automobile-machines, we're talking about three digits of Porsches. Some favorites:
Aston! (Most beautiful car in existence)
Ferrari
Audi! Audi
Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche
BMW
Lambo
Lotus
Maserati Maserati
Honda (yeah yeah..)
..and a nice Ducati.

Then we decided to walk around some more, and I bought a sweet jacket.
One jacket richer, we decided it was time to head home. On our way back, we managed to catch some nice blurry views as we headed back up into the snow.]]> stories http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080329-220920 iTEN / i10 CREW Sat, 29 Mar 2008 21:09:20 GMT http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/comments.php?y=08&m=03&entry=entry080329-220920 http://www.itendrtbgs.com/lifestyle/index.php?entry=entry080327-181335 I´ve made a short clip of our riding during february, actually is´t about all we do here ...and yes, of course we've been drinking some beers and playing the "hammer game" at the Top Secret bar.
