It’s very difficult to put these moments into words… All of the hard work, the countless hours of effort, culminated tonight in what was the best Jon Olsson Invitational in the event’s history. Truly one for the history books. With the conditions we’ve been dreaming of all week and thousands of spectators, the 10th iteration of the Jon Olsson Invitational was a resounding success.

10 years of JOI! – Jon Olsson

Apr 14th 2014 - 1 comments

Wow, just wow! I can’t believe how much this sport has progressed over the past 10 years! Every year I keep thinking that there is no way that the riders can push it harder, but every year they surprise me and do things that I never thought was possible! Switch triple front, triple back, triple 16, unnatural triples, just insane stuff!

JOI 2014: UP IN THE AIR

“Woooo!!!” screams the media half way up the slope. Claps and woots encourage the riders as they ascend the in-run under the venue lights. Nerves take the backseat to a mix of enthusiasm and anxiety. With the confidence gained at yesterday’s session, tonight was set to be a hell of a show.

JOI Blog Update

Last night was the first real training at JOI and I to hear PK say that the kicker is the best its ever been was amazing to hear as this is for sure the nr one focus on this event. Lots of triples were thrown and I can't wait to see what comes next from the boys, incredible to see how they stepped it up from yesterdays training session. You do see a big difference in the riders on a kicker like this, the really good ones can use the pop and get super hang time while a few guys seem to have a harder time, but its built for the best to push this sport to the next level so things are just like they should be!

The best way to use a super car!

As most of you know I have always had a passion for taking super cars to the ski slopes. Now that I am injured i can’t ski, so I thought it was about time to see what would happen if I would actually take the car up in the slopes as that would be the closest thing I would get to skiing right now.

The new Candide? – Jon Olsson

Apr 7th 2014 - 2 comments

Over the years there has only been one Candide and he was the man, he had the style, the tricks and most importantly, he was just crazy and loved to do insane stuff! I don't think that anyone has matched the stuff he has done even if some kids might have done more flips.
