Okay it’s about time I start updating for those of you who haven’t learned how to speak norwegian yet. I’ve been off the bike since I got hurt at X games in july. The global warming didn’t keep us from freezing our asses off in Norway, so I went to California to start riding again, and try to get back in shape. I stayed at Twitch’s house and he had started riding about a month earlier, after his crash at the first Dewtour. I didn’t ride the first couple of weeks, but I had fun spending time with with friends. We went and watched Anaheim 3, but I kinda forgot to watch the race. Rockstar shrew a party in Newport Beach, so I went there with Ninja and fellow Norwegians Andreas Wiig and his girlfriend Marion.

I struggled a bit in my first practise sessions, especially because my body was still kinda hurting. I went trailriding a couple times and then signed up for a gnarly enduro race. Anyway, I crashed about two hours into the race. I didn’t really hurt myself but I got a concussion and my whole body was too sore to try to walk back to the pits. The shifter broke and I wasn’t  even able to kickstart my bike, I wasn’t even able to stand upright, but the options were to try to ride back to the pits myself, or to wait for a quad guy who was about an hour away, on that icy enduratrack. I decided to try to ride my bike back to the pits. Some of the spectators helped me kickstart the bike and click it in first gear. It took me about thirty minutes to get back to the pit area. My legs and arms were so cramped up, probably from dehydration. It was minus ten degrees that day, so by the time I got to the hospital I was starting to get a fever. I ended up spending newyears at the local hospital.

It wasn’t that bad though..
