OLUMPUS MJU II - BARCELONA

My semi vintage point-and-shoot 34mm Olumpus Mju II camera. (1997).

Barcelona was a blast and we all had a hell of a time. I recently digged out a semi old school compact camera from some old boxes in the bacement. A typical 35mm "Point and Shoot" camera with active auto focus. I bought it in 1997. Then it was kinda cool as it was water repellant. But it is pretty cool to take snapshots with.

My first trip with it was Barcelona.

NOTE! No editing, cropping, color adjustments, or anything at all what so ever are done on any of these pics!

Here are some snapshots... :P

UP YIR KILT!!! HOLLY-JOLLY HOLYDAY IN SCOTLAND

Scotland is a sad place to live. It is gray and few good lookin girls. How can people live there? Anyway! I'm here with some of my good friends and surfer friends. We're having a hell of a time, surfing the shit out of us!

The Mustage Crew! Fresh mustages on the surf holiday! :D Hahahahaha! From Left: Yngve, Dyngis, Steffen and me.

Double head (meaning very big and two persons over each other in wave height). Freakin scary and a bit dangerous becasue the sea is shallow and reef's are sharp and hard. It is raining on and off so my skateboard is still in the HOTEL ROYAL hotel room. We stay in Noth in Thurso. Very good surf here! But nothing more.... well, a couple of pubs that we visit every night for some wine, beer and Scottich pool.

Gray Scottish streeets.

Thurso spot.

Radioactive spot! NO JOKE!!!

Havin some fun! :D

I broke a fin on one of the sessions... Damn!

TMC logo. This is my surf crew. TMC aka The Mustage Crew. :P

Shallow and sharp reefs.... Ouch!

Drying the suit between the sessions and when the sun popped out!

This one's goes out to good friend and SHIT Team Surf Rat Richard Bentley. EMPIRE is also the name on his Tattoo studio.

KANALSESSION

This past weekend at KANALSESSION in Horten was a blast! Just can't understand how Tonnesen just keep charging in every street contest! He skates insane! I am superstoked that he won!

The complete team and crew were at KANALSESSION. But Ellingsen had to leave early as he is moving out from his current appartment. Anyway, the rest of us had a awesome time. The skatepark is improved and might be Norway's best skatepark. And it is just an hour away from Downtown Oslo were we have the SHIT shop.

Mentzoni with some annoying kiddoes! :) Hahahaha!

The business was damn good, and lot's of stoked kids and parents visited us. Some to buy some products and some just to get autographs and some free stickers. It was pretty filled up on the most busy moments. But it is all fun. Mentzoni emptyed two brand new pens... They ran out of ink as he signed so many boards, clothes, arms, boobs... etc etc. Hahahaha! :) I got some stoked kids requiring mi autograph as well! On boards, stickers and T-shirts! I am stoked!!! :D

Here are some buddies that now get some fame! Stoked to meet you ...and your mum! :D

Check out some sk8 pics of the team skaters on our main page (shittm.com).

NORWEGIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009, FYSAK HALLEN, BERGEN

You know our BRO Team skater Tonnesen won the entire champs again. It is quite amazing that this "little" young scredder, only 17years of age, beats the hell out of all the "old" rutine contest skateboarders. And he skates smooth as silke. I am super stoked! :D

During the champs weekend our team get a lot of attention, wich is flattering and fun. Many kiddoes get super stoked to get our autographs. And it is a great feeling giving em. Also many kiddoes want's sprayed logos on their grip and alos on their clothing...

It is also amazing to talk with kiddoes, their parents and friends, about skateboarding, attitude, the brand, history and more. They all get very interrested and stoked. ANd it is a true pleasure providing my passion and life; SHIT and skateboarding.

Here are a bunch of random pics from the weekend... Enjoy!

Some kids gettin logos sprayed on their board! STOKED! :)

A kiddoe with two nice new decks! Ready to schred!!!

Veeeery nice giiirls! Extremely nice tees! I like! :P

This kid and his parent, spent some time with me in the tent and we talked a lot and discussed much. He got super happy about the deck you see on the picture! I totally agree! ;)

BACK BLOG - LOVELY COINSIDENCE - RAY FLORES @ VENICE

I accidently ran into Dogtown and The Z Boy Crazy Dog aka Ray Flores during my last visit in US. Cruising at Venice Beach we met the old vize dog, and checked out his board gallary at Venice beach in LA.

Ray Flores and me sitting in the back of the gallary at Venice chatting and admiring the old original Californian DOG TOWN skateboard.

I was wearing one of the cool SHIT BRONZ H T-shirts as you can see on the picture (above) and that was what Ray found his quriosity and interest in as we bounced into him. I told about SHIT's "BRONZ H" project, and that I came from Norway, and we started chatting; He told about his own snowboard and apparel brand he had ages ago named "BRONZE AGE" - and stated that Norwegian snowboarding heroes Jorgen Novik and Terje Haakonsen was good friends of him, and Jorgen was PRO for BRONSE AGE back in the days.

This was thrilling and we chatted for hours about Norway, BRONZE AGE and BRONZ H, SHIT and more.

The gallary is amazing, the first skateboards (made by hand) in Venice was hanging on the wall together with multiple PRO models of ALVA and CRAZY DOG himself and many other important for the skateboarding history. It is RAY that did the artwork of the famous ALVA logo... I was amazed and stoked to meet him!

Ray has been on the 70's Pepsi Team and have been World Champion back in the days. He has also many PRO decks. And I talked him to sell me one were he signed it as well. He is a true core skater that influensed street skateboarding in the birht of skateboarding.

Ray signing his own old PRO model (replica)... This one is priding my livingroom!

Ray was super stoked on SHIT, and we have been discussing a lot after this first random meeting. Ray is really keen on having a SHIT FLAG STORE @ Venice...
