Hi there!
Just got back from one of the coolest events I ever done. Me, Jimmy
Verburgh, and Nick de Witt
did a media-only Red Bull X-Fighters Promotion in Istanbul, Turkey. We had
seen pictures of this old Aquaduct from the Roman
Empire and it looked like we could jump thrue one of the holes of it. Once
we got there and put ramps and stuff up the day before
the event it looked more scary than anything I jumped before, the ledge on
the window looked so freakin´ tall that it looked
unpossible to jump it without hitting it. And stupid as I am I told Jimmy
and Nick that it would be a piece of cake and I would hit
it first, but that was long before we got there. Once on location I was´nt
as hardcore as I thought, after some work and calculations I finally
jumped it and cleared the ledge with less then a meter to spare.
We did 2 hours of photoshoots for a buch of well known photographers and got
the work done, Red Bull happy, we happy! Great succes!
Check out www.redbull-photofiles.com for some of the pictures. Photofiles
works as a database for over 8000 mediapartners around the world
and just getting on there is worth to put in your CV. Check out the results
on www.redbull.com and www.redbull-photofiles.com I been on the frontpage
for over a week now!

After the show Red Bull offered me to shave of my mustache that I been
working on, thought it would be sweet to show up in Turkey with a mustache,
you know
to blend in better, if I tell you like this. I could just as well brought a
christian cross to a mosk! I was the only guy around with mustache, and I
even put some
mascara in to make it look less scandiavian. I took the offer.
This week I´m heading to Germany for a show at the Beer and More festival
and then back to Turkey for another Red Bull tour around 4 or 5 univeritys
in Istanbul and Ankara.
