a good snowboarder.

No, that's the only thing I desire.

No, you want people to like you.

And you want to

be a part of the hip crowd.

You have to be yourself.

There's a strength

in being yourself, Mikkel.

I've been myself the whole time.

But that doesn't work.

I don't mind being

your snowboarding coach.

-But that's not what you need.

-How do you know what I need?

I don't want to coach you

so you can be just another poseur.

One who doesn't

understand what it's all about.

To hang loose...

Chill out...

Go down...

Not this, but this...

Not this...

Hey dude,

remember your board.

If it's so important being good,

maybe you should bring it with you?

Nina...

Nina!

-Don't follow me.

-I need to speak to you.

I can't talk to you, OK?

-You can't pretend nothing happened.

-Yes, I can!

Come on.

You can't tell Gaute or anyone

that we kissed.

What happened yesterday,

don't count.

Gaute is my boyfriend, so just...

Stay away, OK?

I'll walk out first. And then

you count to 100 before you go out.

I can't meet you anymore.

Tommen!

-Tommen!

-Here.

-My ecological children.

-You have to be my coach.

Sorry.

But I've already said no once, OK?

You have to make me

a good snowboarder!

You know I've got the talent!

Tommen, you have to be my coach.

Please! Gaute beat me up. Nina

dumped me in a f***ing store room!

F***ing ey!

You have to be my coach, Tommen.

Tommen,

you're the only one that can help me.

-Tommen!

-What the hell!

My way of training

is pretty extreme, Mikkel.

So we have to make a deal.

Fine.

You have to do

everything I ask of you.

Even if you don't like it,

you have to do it.

-Are you with me?

-Totally!

Great.

That's cool.

Here.

We'll start early tomorrow.

There's lots of places

to practice here.

When you're walking uphill,

you can take comfort in one thing...

What's that?

Things are going upwards.

Things are going upwards...

This is the reason

why I live out West.

I don't care about the pearly gates,

angels and halos and that f***ing sh*t.

This is the real heaven.

If this is heaven,

then Voss must be hell.

Hey, I don't know

what's going on in your life.

But you have to be yourself.

Do you understand?

Don't make yourself so small that

you have to be a snowboard hero-

-just to think you are somebody.

It's all about balance.

Both in your life and on the board.

-Do you have balance in your life?

-Not always.

But I try to have.

That's the thing.

Tommen, is this a test or something?

We can't just go down here...

It'll be fine. Focus. Visualize.

Take control.

-Have balance.

-What if it doesn't work?

Mikkel...

No negative thoughts now.

Please!

All right.

Let's go!

Concentration.

And balance...

Ready for another go?

Do you know

what free riding is all about?

Well...

To be in balance with nature...

-And have control?

-No, no.

No.

It's about dealing with unforeseen

events. Physically and mentally.

You're taking the bus to Killingmo

and shop groceries.

-Did mom put you up to this?

-No. I'm telling you that.

-You didn't foresee that.

-Why?

I need more mixed nuts.

And it's part of the training.

Alfalfa sprouts,

roast beef and tomatoes?

Ecological tomatoes.

Mikkel, you have to stand upright

during the whole bus trip.

With your legs planted

at the same place on the floor.

And it's not allowed

to grab onto something.

-Yeah right!

-You bet!

Hey, Mikkel! I heard you've been

hanging around with Psycho-Tommen.

If you're ride with crazy-ass

Tommen, you'll break your neck.

Why don't you sign up for

the competition in Hemsedal.

And let psycho-Tommen

be your coach.

Freerider man...

Well, well...

A new day, many opportunities.

Or, like John J. Rambo used to say:

To survive war

you must become war.

Write that down.

It would be cool to find out

how good I really am.

Up here it's not much to measure

against... The jumps are different...

What are you trying to tell me?

Why not sign up for the jumping

competition in Hemsedal?

-No way!

-Why not?

If you choose the competition,

our training is over.

I'm not a competitive person.

I'm a freerider. Got it!

And now we're riding down

from up there.

There's Venus.

It's now in conjuncture with Uranus.

It means that you, a Cancer,

will succeed with everything.

-OK.

-Yeah.

How do you sign up to

the jumping competition at Hemsedal?

Don't kid yourself.

You'll break every bone in your body.

You better worry about yourself.

What's going on here?

Mikkel is going to Hemsedal.

He thinks

he's fool enough to make it.

-Do you mean that?

-Yes.

-Are you coming?

-Wait a second.

I've got a registration form

in the car, if you're interested.

-Yeah.

-Oh yeah?

Cool.

Come on.

Nina!

-Aren't we in a hurry?

-Relax. I have to talk to Mikkel.

Are you sure you want this?

-Yeah, I'm sure.

-OK.

Cool. Good luck.

See you in Hemsedal.

Well, this was really pleasant.

Oh sh*t!

Thank you.

Nice try.

But now you have to focus.

-Tommen...

-It's important not to stress.

-It's just to pull back...

-I signed us up for the competition.

-What?

-I signed us up for the competition.

On day one

I told you I was a free rider.

I'm not taking part

in a bloody competition.

It's against everything I've stood

for, stand for and will stand for!

-But...

-I thought you were that way too.

That you were, or wanted to be,

a freerider.

But no, you weren't.

You...

I had to!

It was either that, or

be a chicken for the rest of my life.

Competitions are f***ing sh*t!

It doesn't matter who wins or loses!

-It doesn't matter!

-But you know I'm good enough!

You haven't understood sh*t, Mikkel.

Our little training program

was just finished for good.

Hey!

I've waited for you.

Are you ready to play?

-Yes.

-Take a seat.

My turn?

Mikkel...

I've got the meeting times

and some info about Hemsedal.

And one more thing...

When you jump from the big jump,

you'll do a massive face plant.

You'll break

every f***ing bone in your body.

So regardless of how you'll do

in Hemsedal, you're finished here.

You'll get beaten up every week.

I'll spend all my time

trying to f*** you up.

You made a move on the wrong girl,

Mikkel.

When I'm done with you, no-one

at school will want to talk to you.

Then you're free to sit in Psycho-

Tommens garage and eat lollipops.

Do you understand? Because nobody will

want to have anything to do with you.

Let's see how you handle pressure.

You're up.

Great, Mikkel.

Mikkel...

Mikkel!

-They're just messing with you.

-They're are?

-Do you think Gaute is your friend?

-It's you that's messing with me!

Do you think it's so easy for me?

Gaute is my boyfriend.

That's because you're too chicken

to say what you really feel.

You have ruined

everything for me here.

Because you don't have

the guts to be honest.

I've got nothing anymore.

And that' your fault.

Don't you want to play anymore,

girlieboy?

What a jerk you are.

That's the walk of a hero!

Nice shoes dude...
