-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
