Happy New Year 2014!

Take it easy!

BACK IN DA GAME!

I’ve been sking again. It feels so good. I’m still bit careful with big jumps but with rails and jibbing 

I haven’t been holding back.

Check out my short edit from last week:  http://vimeo.com/79327636#

I’ll be chilling  in december but after that it’s full blast!

Take it easy!

October

Guess what...?

I'm on skis again!!!! STOCKED!!!

I was supposed to write this blog week ago but snow came to Ruka... :D

Still chilling and training in Kuusamo. It’s been 6 months since my ACL operation and I just went for the last checkup and tests. The results were really good and funny thing was that my operated knee was doing better in some tests than the other one. 

We had national team tests and they also went really well, jumping on trampoline was the only tuff thing, the other knee is still functioning a bit differently.

Other than that I’ve been training a bit less muscle and more cardio to improve my oxygen take. 

School is really good. I’m filming episodes: ’When teacher isn’t around’, you can find the first episode on my instagram: markusfohr.

Summertime update

I’ve been quiet on my blog… Sorry about that.

I had pretty good season. I did some of SFR Tour and AFO, also got invitation to WSI, but I broke my ACL 3 days before I was supposed to leave to Canada.

I was doing alpine school tests and did easy kangaroo, landed it sideways and pop went my knee. Luckyily I  was operated within a week of the injury and started physio right away.

Now it’s 3 months since operation and my knee is feeling much better. It’s still not reacting as well as my healthy knee, but it’s getting there. I took advantage of this time got my upperbody in great shape by doing calistetics with my homie Mikael.

In august I’m moving to Kuusamo to Ruka Alpine School and I’m starting to study business management. I was also chosen to Finnish National team for next season, I’m really stoked about that.

It’s been fun summer, I’ve been hanging out with my homies, eating chicken…, having relaxing time. I miss sking though. I’ll be on skis by end of this year, I have already planed all the tricks I’m going to pull. I didn’t get enough time to shoot all new tricks I learned last season, so I have lot on my sleeve….
