Mesternes Mester

January 9, 2020

I September reiste jeg til Kroatia for å delta på innspilling av Mesternes Mester. Det var hard, både fysisk og mentalt, men for en utrolig opplevelse med de mest fantastiske menneskene. Både foran og bak kamera. Jeg skjønner nå hvorfor dette programmet er på sin 11 sesong med seertall på over 1 million i gjennomsnitt per episode. Jeg gleder meg til å dele opplevelsene fra Kroatia med dere der hjemme, hver fredag framover på NRK klokken 20.05. /// In September I went to Croatia to partake in some of the hardest physical and mental challenges I have ever done, with 9 other amazing, former competitive, professional athletes from Norway. Mesternes Mester is one of the most viewed TV shows in Norway and after being a part of the production I understand why it is so attractive. The people behind it are so positive and real, and the show is made to inspire all generations and families to use their bodies actively and minds creatively. I promise you that season 11 is filled with passion, love, team work, strength, realness and beauty!! Airing on NRK TV January 1st 2020!!!

Hvem tror du vinner den gjeve #mesternesmester pokalen i sesong 11?

Med harde, fysiske og mentale øvelser, settes det krav til styrke, balanse og vilje!!

Jeg elsker kreative utfordringer som dette

Kan sykkelløp i harde motbakker være gøy??

Ikke glem å lek deg! Never forget to stay light and play

Rett ut i første øvelse som var 5 minutter / first challenge was 5 minutes of crossball throws

Støtt og løft opp hverandre, selv dine konkurrenter. Always support and uplift others, even your competitors

Når så mange inspirerende mennesker er samlet på en plass, ønsker man jo å gi det lille ekstra for både å prestere og være den beste utgaven av seg selv, samtidig som man støtter og løfter opp hverandre.

Jeg gleder meg til å dele opplevelsene fra #mesternesmester2020 gjengen med dere alle

TUNE IN Every Friday on NRK TV at 8.05 pm / På NRK hver fredag framover klokka 20.05 #Mesternesmester

PRESS RELEASE For immediate release

Celebrating TUDOR’s #BornToDare spirit, David Beckham joins Norwegian Olympic snowboard medallist Kjersti Buaas in a backcountry adventure in the Alps.

The TUDOR brand signature #BornToDare reflects both the history of the brand and what it stands for today.

In line with the brand’s signature daring spirit, and after sending David Beckham freediving underwater off Miami earlier this year, TUDOR recently invited their ambassador to step out of his comfort zone again for a backcountry snowboarding experience in the Alps. In a short video simultaneously released by Beckham, Kjersti Buaas and TUDOR, Beckham can be seen learning under the guidance of the Norwegian four-time Olympian and Olympic medallist in half-pipe, snowboarding. Climbing the mountain in the early hours wearing headlamps, the pair reach the top of a high-altitude slope with virgin snow and enjoy a secluded first-track down the mountain. “It's a great thing to be behind, and try and learn from a world-class athlete. It's been an incredible experience and I want to do more. What do we do next? I don't know. It's like we say, born to dare.”, Beckham said of his experience.

On the mountain that day Beckham was wearing the Black Bay P01, an award-winning multi-purpose TUDOR sports watch based on a legendary prototype developed in the late 1960s for the US Navy. This robust watch is equipped with a high-performance TUDOR Manufacture calibre complete with silicon balance-spring and 70-hour power reserve.

Exploring Australia

August 29, 2014

This is my first trip to Australia and so far it has been amazing. I came down here first and for most to compete in two snowboard contests, both a part of the World Snowboard Tour & the Australian slopestyle Tour. The first event called the Mile High, was held in a resort named Perisher. I qualified in to finals after only riding two days on my board after a long summer break. I also won best trick and received the award "Carlton 30". Aside from snowboarding I came down here to explore the stunning nature & unique wildlife Australia has to offer. After the contest in Perisher we drove to a resort called Thredbo that reminded me of Aspen in Colorado. The mountain there was fun to explore, they had some great snowboard parks and people are so friendly and helpful to tourists. When traveling between these resorts it is very common to see kangaroos, wombats, parrots and wild horses, as these areas all are located in and around national parks and forests. The most breathtaking drive was from Thredbo to Falls Creek in Victoria - Eukalyptus trees, rivers, wildlife... Had to stop more than a couple of times to capture and take in the beauty. Right now it is pouring rain/ snow outside. The contest called Stylewars has been postponed until tomorrow as forecast is promising sunshine. Check back in again to see more of my adventures from Aussie land.
