Heard on a crackly line from India

Bruno on his walki-talki outside Abus window:

-- "startklar.. inväntar ert kommando.."
... "något ohörbart"...
... "Abu kokar ris"...
... "knaster, knaster"...
... "Tittar på film på hög volym, människor i färglada kläder dansar och sjunger"...
... "knaster, knaster, brus"...
... "knaster, brus, knaster"...
... "Oj vad händer!? Nä ingen fara bara Abu som torkade sig i röven med sin extremt långa lillfinger nagel......."...
... "Sätter sig åter vid sin dator"...

Another heavy rainstorm came in over India and we lost contact with Bruno, and of course as so many times before our friend Abu...

sunny sunday

After romancing with the misses all saturday and not dancing and drinking was i feeling in good shape for a sunny sunday surf session. Packed my gear and took the elevator down, oppened the door to realize that father wind must still be sleeping. Instead i drove down to nick. packed his camera eqiup and had a good skate photoshot. Going to put the photos on www.popskateboards.com If everything goes to plan the site will be up running tomorrownite.

Wrong diagnosis

Still working on the last pieces on popskateboards.com or atleast Hacke and Jens are. Instead of working i went for a surf. read the prognos on windguru but made the wrong diagnosis. The surf was clean but the waves, too small. If i would have been driven the other way, the surf could have looked like this.

Firmparty!

Nice firmpart / ********meeting *****day!

Things started good with a meeting about our future world domination!


But thing got really out of control when Tias pulled of a stunt and putted the POP-shades upsidedown... Absolut insane!

After that there was no way back!
Here you can see us singing along to some nice tunes of Lasse Berghagen


Tias turned out to be a real hejare on the POPdeck-gituar!


Then tings got kristallclear for Jensa...

... He really wanted to be the next "Allsång på Skansken"-leader!

To celebrate this Hacke and Tias helped eachother out to throw the POPdeck-gituar out the window, like true rockstars!


All together a really good and creativ ********gathering!

Jens Gustafsson

In his young days growing up in Lund he was dreaming of touring the world with his band, Skidmarks. Efter kindergarden the band members were moved to different schools, the dream was shattered.

He soon found his passion for skate and snowboarding. He claims that he never done a season even thou you could find him every nite durring the years 04-08 at Funkychicken, Stanton.

Too many fractures forced him to get of the funkytrain and he moved back to Lund and started to skate again. Favorit trick: Kickflippen. Even thou he lives next to the Univeristy he never went back to school, saying - I´ve been through the rough school of life.

Today he´s one of the founders and VD of Popskateboard. His Goal with POP is to get a lot of boardtime, paid travels and of course to take over the world.
