Today was my second day off in a row, which has not been happening in 6 weeks. Me and Ida made steak from a pig on her dads farm.. Couldn't be more fresh than that!
Smiley faceeee.
As you all know, skiers are sponsored when they reach a point of level in their carrier. Also when they want to ski all year all over the world. When it comes to me, I have got the opportunity to ski for salomon, shred, vasyli, sport-extreme and partly monster (it's not been settled yet). And they offer me free gear if I compete and train with their gear, and talk well about them. Also I have to do other certain things, it all depends on contracts. But this is usual! The thing that only a few of the best skiers get, is cash, travveling budgets and salary. This is nothing skiers often talk about loud, but I have choosen to talk about it, cause it doesn't go by me. I don't got any travvelling budgets or cash-sponsors. I don't got salary from brands that just loves me skiing. Last year I spent 9000 euros in my travels and skiing around the globe. That was my own money I had worked hard for all summer and fall. I had nothing left in April, and could therefore not travel more this season. I started working first thing in May, and at first I had two jobs, now I got one, working Monday - Saturday, every week. No summer vacation for me.
My cat by the way, hehe. It might be cought up as bragging, but this is the reality for me, and I really want to share it with those of you who wonders.
Today I got an email from what I thought, were going to be my saving hero for the winter ( A sponsor). For 9 weeks I have been working to get them sponsor me throughout the season, so that I can travel other places that Norway. Today I got an email which I could put in my NO-FROM-SPONSORS-INBOX. It was from the same people I thought were my upcoming sponsor, but no.
So right now I'm sitting here with a sadface, trying to think of anything to cheer me up. This winter is going to blow hard time. No money, no travelling. No travelling, no tricks. No tricks, no win. No win, no cash... There you got it. Ofcourse it's going to be so much fun, but in the end we all want to win something, don't we? And If I don't get to win, I can't afford living, then I need to work or get an education instead.
That's it for now, I'm out jogging in the rain like jon olsson.. only thing I am not running in a redbull jacket with a white smile around my mouth. I will run lonely with a broken arm in the rain, crying..¨
Peace out. S

visst du har lite spenn , da blir det vel storlien på deg hele neste sesong eller ?
ok.. få deg på rett spor igjen! Ski skal være kjekt, ikke noe du gjør for penger eller "fame".
Hvis du slutter å tenke på penger og alt det der, kun fokuserer på å ha det kjekt på ski så ordner det seg nok. 99% av jibberne har det jo slik. Mitt mål er hvertfall å få stått så mye ski som overhode mulig vær vinter. Sponsorer og cashflow som mr. olsson er noe du får om du er outstanding god og jobber beinhardt! Ingeting kommer av seg selv.. Bort med sadface :)
Fint om alle som kommenterer kan bruke navn.
For å svare på det du siste sa. Jibbing skal være morro, det var grunnen til at jeg startet, og det er grunnen til at jeg har holdt på i snart 6 år. Jeg gjør det av fri vilje 110 dager i året, og jeg elsker det jeg driver med. ( Kall meg gjerne en fanatiker). Men når man skal gjør det hele sesongen uten å jobbe på vinteren, da blir det tøft å klare seg. Jeg skulle gjerne sett at penger ikke er noe tema i verden (mange med meg), men slik er det desverre ikke. Bra at du satte fingern på akkurat dette temaet. For å få det ekstra gøy som jibber, bør man helst være der morroa skjer. Dvs, der det er gode utøver man kan kjøre sammen med, og der det evt er konkurranser ( For de som liker det). Men ute penger blir man i hjemmebakken hele sesongen, og der er det stort sett bare folk i helgene. Da har man ingen til å pushe seg, og progresjonen og morroa stagnerer litt..
Alt som skal være morro, er ikke alltid det når man helst vil..
Konklusjonen her er vel at penger er ikke alt, men man kommer kort uten hvis man vil bli aller best i det man driver med. Det er vel litt av min egen problematikk; Jeg vil gjøre ting 110 %, bestandig.
Ha en fin dag!
