SkateFeber. Hope you'll like it!

Whaevva.
Been a few days since the last update, sorry about that. New series on the way, that´s why.
//Love
Daddy's home!
That's right, the six week old father makes his first update just to let everyone know that the new family is having a blast; pooping, puking, wiping and rocking all around the clock. Since everyone is naming their kids Love these days, Ola would get delusions of grandeur and Johan wouldn't like the pressure, we decided to name the little pearl MIKA! About skateboarding in fatherhood, the tricks feel pretty much the same but the
lines seem slightly altered.

My buddy Hannes just told me that a kid came up to him the other day and asked him: "WHICH STANCE ARE YOU? GUCCI OR REGULAR?" I laughed for a long time when I heard it. Then I cried a little. //Martin
One-time grill, sunshine and sibbarp( or some other spot).
Is an unbeatable combination, try it!! Me and jugga did that 2 sundays ago and we got some smaussy tricks filmed while enjoing the combo. Actually I lied, we didn't grill that day but I did it the friday after so It was half true.
Here's the video Ps We rode our bikes to the park.

Driving the Stripes - The End - Extended Version
Finally
home again, a bit worn down but happy to having cleared all of those miles. Miles that would have have been so much longer if it wasn't for the comic talents of Måns and Sebastian. We're celebrating this with a porky photo and video update that will appear if you just click the image of Gothenburg below.
Driving the Stripes - The Sequel
When you reach Gothenburg you always feel obliged to sum up your trip so here goes something. Since our first update we got to skate with all the happy campers at the WESC camp in Linköping which ruled. We then bolted off towards the west coast, got there and checked in to yet another Scandic hotel that not even Sebastian's I-Pod could fill with soul. Måns promised it's the last hotel of this kind and that the next one will have both a bath tub and a mini bar. Now click the lipslided logo for still and moving pictures.
Driving the Stripes
Only one month since I got my drivers licence and I'm already reaping the rewards of that great but late accomplishment. Thus I have been called in as the designated driver for an Adidas sales trip through the south of Sweden. Me and Adidas super dudes Sebbe and Måns we will enjoy a full week of truckstop food, skateboarding and whatever may come in our way. Adidas is paying for the wifi so expect loads of updates.

Sibbarp and some photos from this weekend.

The HI is back
Just wanted to let any worried souls out there know that I'm back from my Malta vacation. The little mediterranean piece of rock was a really nice one and on top of all the sun and snorkeling I also got my first jellyfish sting, it felt like a good lash of a brännässla, right in my arm pit. By the way, since me and my girlfriend moved to a new apartment a while ago, I still don't have any internet access of my own so I'm making this update guerilla style, out in the hallway from someone elses wifi and believe me, sitting here is a good way to get to know my new neighbours. Sadly it will be another couple of weeks before I can get back to some real updating business again, but perhaps I can squize some boring Malta photos in here soon. //Martin
The scissors is back
Hello there, this weekend bowlriders comp is breaking loose in malmö and hopefully the weather will be on our side.

Anuddadayindemburbz
I haven't skated since I busted my toes at Jonas' housewarming party last Saturday but today I joined a good bunch of rippers just to get close to some roll stuff. I tried to skate a little and got really happy when i realized it didn't hurt too much and I even checked off a super clean ollie manual. I celebrated by shooting a line on one of my favorite dudes/skaters - Isak Ström. Don't accept the shaky filming, send me some threatening mails instead, that should straighten me out. //Martin

A Day in That Park
Micke Fihnborg was my skate buddy back in the day. He was a ripper, a true comedian and he really had a way with words. He used to spontaneously translate Swedish words to English and it usually came out all backwards. One time he said that we should go to "The Gate of the Humble". We understood nothing but it soon became clear that he had meant the park of Humlegården, which I think should be something like "Hops Park" inEnglish. Yesterday me, Mika and Love went there like we do every once too often. Look at our day
here if you want to.
// Martin

Here's a little something from two weeks ago when
Nicke Svensson was down visiting, and yeah I added an old picture of

Pass that camera!
Jonas, Sami and I used to skate and hang out every day, but then we all moved out of the country. First Jonas went to the U.S and stayed there close to 9 years, then Sami went to Australia to study during 4 years and I went to Spain and France for almost 5 years. Now that Jonas moved home a few weeks ago we´re all back again, stoked. Here´s a tripple line we filmed while passing the camera around at the park today.

Eva Täljemark of Gothenburg and Christopher Backholm from Tumba didn't need long to figure out that Mika ended his line with the trick that Team Alva's John Thomas managed to make a whole career out of - the magnificent TUCK KNEE! Below you can gaze upon Mr Thomas pro model displaying the maneuver as well as some odd looking martial violence.
Mika comp aint over till it's over
Still no correct answers in the Mika competition leaves me no other option than to give you a hint so here it is: Mika does the same trick in his part in Lurking Class. For your none-scrolling pleasure I posted the clip again right below. Send your answer to info@bellowsskateboards.com and name the mail "mika contest" or something. Come on now, the two Lurking Class DVD's are dying to meet you!
9 hours in Copenhagen....
Last friday me, Danijel Todorovic and Björn Tjernberg made a spontaneous visit to Copenhagen. We meet up with Daniel Schön at the Fashion tradeshow held there that weekend, had a few beers and drinks, ate at a pakistanian restaurant and ended the mysterious night at the Vice party. CLick Danne schön with danish green friends for more photos.

The Hose is (almost) back
Mika, Hazze and Johan must have made quiet an impression on
Jonas Sohn whilst visiting him in the U.S. because he accompanied the trio back to his second home land. And as if that wasn't enough, the absence of sun and heat seemed to please him to the point where he has decided to move back to Stockholm after many a San Diego year. Well, the fact that his wife lives in Stockholm now might have something to do with it too... Jonas has now returned to S.D. to get his laundry or something but he will be back in no time. I guess the number of Swedish people missing Jonas' skating over the years is legio, so I filmed a line on him one morning in Stockholm Skatepark. You can easily watch it below. Welcome back Slangen! //Martin

Johan brought some compact camera footage home from his and
Mikas trip to the U.S, check it

Music quiz winners.
The second Music quiz was held at El-Amir this past saturday. Questions included everything from Huf´s year of birth to who rides for DGK but since our teams age ranged from 22 to 46 we had it all covered, I have to say that Simon Stenborg was without a doubt MVP so thanks to him we´ll be enjoying a free dinner tonight.
Here´s some photos I found from last weeks Junkyard office/showroom opening.

Mika contest still on!
We have not yet received a fully correct answer to what trick that ended Mika's line. Our good west coasty friend
Henrik Svan is without a doubt the one getting the closest so far and here's his answer (in translation).
"Long back arm, heavy front foot and light but energetic back foot, there can't be anything else than a benihana that ends the line. Yeah!" Yes, "Bling" certainly knows his skateboard physics and will be rewarded with a Lurking Class DVD. That means that the two remaining copies are still up for grabs so send your best guesses to
info@bellowsskateboards.com as soon as possible. I got so happy when I got Henriks answer that I had to make a little clip of him skating Paris from a trip that we made a few years back. It's just a couple of millimetres below. //Martin

MIKA LINE AND CONTEST
Below you can see Mika doing a cute little line in Stockholm Skatepark. Now, if you would like to get your clammy ones on a Lurking Class DVD you only have to guess what trick Mika did after I decided it was enough and hit the rec button. Send your answers to
info@bellowsskateboards.com and name the mail 'mikacontest'. There are 3 DVD's in the pot and the contest is on until next Friday. If no correct answer comes up I will decide who's gotten the closest. //Martin
Hasse Lindgren VS Jonas Sohn in madness!!!
Tomorrow morning we are going back to sweden:(. Here is something funny, the other day Hans lost a 100 dollar bill. As you could see earlier I caught him fighting a chair. Now it is Jonas turn, when we met him at the ASR he had two sets of new SKF bearings he was really stoked on. Two hours later when we were in his car going back to his place he realized he had forgotten them at the tradeshow. When we came home to his place he flipped, totally flipped

Now we are back in San Diego after our 3 days journey to Huntington beach. We went to Huntington beach were Hasse used to live in the 80's we stayed at a hotel there and just strolled around town, went out eating and bubbled in the hotels jacuzzi until we were wrinkled as raisins. During sunday we made a quick visit to Venice beach and walked the whole beachwalk. We skated a litlle bit in the venice park and the curbs that are there. It was fun to see all the strange characters that hangs around that beachwalk. Monday we headed back, on the the way back Hasse visited a few brands that he sales and me and Mika skated the Volcom park. Click Mikas 180 nosegrind for photos.

Engelkes lives!
Last week I visited our web-wookie Andreas. He treated me to coffee and chocolate and then made me very happy by tagging along with me to the skatepark. Andreas had not rolled since summer but there seemed to be a very small amount of rust in his bearings. I knew that I would become Johan's hero if I got some footage of Andreas so I forced him to produce a line. Click the photo of Andreas and his skyskraper hair for the action. //Martin
I can feel the cheese all upp my throat from the food we eat. We are having a good time here in San Diego, we have eaten alot!! This is the places we have tried: Taco Bell, Hensleys bar, Islands, Wahoos, Tin fish, Surfers Teriyaki and that cosy place at the beach + a few more. Today we are hedding up to LA. Besides from that we have been to the indoorparks that the brands here have. The ones we have visited are DC, Adio, Plan B and Tony Hawks ramp. Feels good to skate inside when we are in sunny California. Mika went crazy shopping and bought a waterproof camera and an Ipod. Hopefully we will se Mika update the page someday. Click Hans and Mika at the beach for photos.

Mika of the week.

As you can see, someone hacked our site and posted LURKING CLASS. Whatever, it´s fine by us.
However, we strongly recommend that you try to get a hold of a DVD-copy to watch on a bigger screen than this one.
Another day in the promised country...
Our first plans was to go to Los Angeles and be there for a few days but Mattias Ringström is so friendly so he let us stay at his place in San Diego, thanks for your hospitality. So today he took us skating the Plan b warehouse. After that we went to the DC ramp, Mika did some fs airs and we got to see Pierre Luc Gagnon skate it, that was sick!!!! Click my breakfast for photos(Enchilada and a chocolate donut).

United States of America here we are....
Ok now we are here or I am here for the first time, fells nasty. We arrived at 17:30 San Diego time and that means 2:30 in the morning in sweden, we were pretty tired by then but managed to stay awake until 23:00 San Diego time. To not fall asleep we went downtown and had a fishtaco and a few beers but when we arrived to the fancy motel6 it didn't take many seconds until the head banged the pillow. The time is 9:30 now and we are going to Dennys for breakfast so hasta la vista. For photos click me and Mika.

Mr comeback himself Mark "Pullis" Pulman turned 30 and new years eve knocked on the door.
Less then a month ago Mark turned 30 and throwed a big party(thanks Mark). It was held at the restaurant "El Amir". We all had a good time and it did get late, see the photos I managed to shoot. During New Years eve we also ended up at "el amir" eating a supper, it was lovely. Later that night we were on a boatparty. View it all by clicking mr Pulman.

December in photos.
To have a "The year in photos" would take way to much space so you´ll have to do with this December in photos instead.
The Photo above is actually from The 1st of january so i couldn´t put it in the folder. I bought a coconut and i can´t open the damn thing. Martin told me to use a hammer and a screwdriver... We´ll see if that´ll work. Just click the photo.

Back in Stockholm.
I am in the capital area visiting. On saturday Lucia Classics will be held, for more info www.luciaclassics.com. Me and Mika got caught on film while practising for the comp the other day. The music in the clip keeps rolling after the last trick, didn't manage to fix it. And yes the little text I wrote is in swedish so I have to translate it, actually I don't know if we have any viewers from other countries but since we always write in english I will translate this to: Fuck! what you are slaming Johan! Get a hold of yourself. CLick the word VIDEO to see the VIDEO.

Mika on Vert
It has been a while since I made an update but better late than later so here is the very first footage of Mika skating vert and showing off his vert rump. I have now joined Mika on this mission on transition and can be seen perfecting my knee slides and rock to fakies regularly. The obvious question now, besides when I will be seen soaring like an eagle, seems to be is it really vert it?
//Martin
Almost forgot. Don´t miss the last two episodes of Tidens minne. #11 and #12 contains Boulala and our webmaster Andreas Engelkes and you´ll find them HERE.
It has been a while since i posted any polaroids so click the camera for some random images. There´s a Olaroid in there as well.

Björn Tjernberg+Malmö=True
Björn lives in Malmö and he is a good friend and a clean skater. So I thought lets make a little interview with him, a few questions and some tricks. But I didn't get any tricks only answers on the questions. We tried to film yesterday but he couldn't come up with a trick he wanted to film, or my theory is that he couldn't handle the pressure filming. No just kidding, but I did get two good clips of Johan Linö Waad and "Snoken" so watch them and björns interview by clicking Björn.

Yesterday we sessioned the newbuilt flatcurb at bryggeriet, chech it out here.

Streetlabafton...
As I posted earlier there were a streetlab/We party in Malmö this weekend. It doesn't matter which town you're in there is always a We party. This weekend it were held with streetlab. They released a t-shirt together and that called for a party. Is there a party for every t-shirt they make? :):). No seriously i'm only joking. I didn't bring my camera to the shop but I got it with me when we rambled through the streets of Malmö. Click balloon photp for evidence.
