I’m a bit slow with updating about demos and shows. But as usual I’m touring schools in Sweden with the BMX Skolshow together with the amazing BMX:er Andreas Lindqvist. The purpose of the show is to inspire kids to use helmets when biking, skateboarding and snowboarding etc. The kids are literally hanging on the lock…

The second World Round-Up was a blast! I was there last year as well and it was so fun and exciting I had to go back this year, and I will most likely go back in 2014 as well. The format at Round-Up is a bit different, with 1 minute runs instead of the 2…

Article in newspaper (Enköpingsposten) about me being awarded as a community member, for representing Håbo Kommun all over the world as a world class skateboarder. Famous Swedish actor and artist Lasse Åberg also got awarded. This award ceremony was held during Håbo Festdag, and the stage was close to the skatepark, so I could have…

Spring cleaning… First show this spring, and first thing to do is to clean the mat we perform on. It truly is spring cleaning… The show was at Ålstensskolan in Stockholm, and as always I do these seminars/shows about safety and the use of helmet together with legendary BMX:er Andreas Lindqvist.

Truckstand at Sensoji Temple/Asakusa, Tokyo’s oldest temple. Kevin Harris tried his best to come with me to Japan, but could not make it. We were both there in 2009 for the World Championships and I really liked it and wanted to go back soon. I had planned to go back last year but due to Fukushima…

I had a great time in Sigtuna last Sunday! The local skateboard club invited me for a demo and “Lillis freestyle skateboarding school”. It’s always fun to teach kids (and the older skaters) some freestyle and inspire to do some flatland skating. I usually teach the Tailhandlflip and have a 3-step procedure to learn it….

Wrap around to Nohanded 50/50 Casper at Rotary Skatepark, Vancouver Island. I had a great time in Vancouver, Canada first week of April. Went there for snowboarding with Kevin Harris but of course I brought my skateboard and we had a great session at Rotary skatepark on Vancouver island. The session became sort of a…

My plane tickets are booked for the 2012 World Freestyle Round-Up that will take place inside a venue on the Cloverdale Fair Grounds in Vancouver, Canada. Over 77.000 people attended the annual Fair last year! I am looking forward to this event a lot! Several freestylers say it’s the best surface they have ever skated…

Getting the 1st place trophy at the World Championships 2012 from my very longtime friend Per Welinder. I have been competing for about 30 years. I have won several Swedish Championships, Swedish Cups, European Championships and a European Cup, a few pro contests and in 2000 I tied for 1st with Kevin Harris in the…

Last year me and my BMX collegue was on the kids talentshow Rampljuset. We were first a bit hesitant as the stage was only to be 5 x 5 meters, but eventually we agreed to do it. This year they asked us again, but this time to separate the two of us so we would…

No. No way! I tried to get out of it, I really tried not to organize the World Championships. I have organized contests before and know how much work it takes. No way! But sometimes no is not an option… Me and Kevin Harris was booked for a demo in Malmö 2010 at the Ultra…

Roadtrip and camping! That was the plan for Paderborn this year. Me, Bastian, Felix, Juan and Walti headed down to Paderborn via Denmark and a ferry ride. It was lots if fun, especially to hear Felix and Juan trying to speak Danish. Our plan was to stop in Malmö and stay at a hotel over…

The first time I met Tony Hawk was at the Swedish Summer Camp in 1985. Already then he was one of the best skateboarders in the world. But noone would had beleived back then that a skateboarder would be one of the most famous athletes in the USA. But that is what some surveys say;…

If it wasn’t for the electric lamp, this photo could like I was travelling back in time, to 1750. It is actually during a break from a movie I recently shot called Svartmunkarnas Krönika – Codex Dei. An adventure set in 1750, where I have one of the lead roles. It was lots of running…

There is nothing like filming a skateboard part. Unfortunately I don’t do that too often. Most of the clips of me are from various contests, demos and shows. But last Saturday I went to Stockholm and met up with a filmmaker and we were filming the whole day at various locations. Juan Mark Emmoth was…
