Old photos

Went through a bunch of old photos from the last couple of years, because I'm a loser and have nothing to do. I'm posting these photos for other "people" who also don't have nothing better to do.

SO, after watching this, go burn some churches or whatever it is you do to contribute to your society.

(Don't worry, just another attempt at some tasteless humor - kind of)

Jakob in his right element.

Of all photos I had of Jakob, at least 80% of them had something to do with coffee. I am not complaining, just think its pretty damn perfect....

With a thermos like that its not much more room for other stuff, which he is MORE than happy to pas down to his younger cousin.

Oj, oj, oj. This Italian stallion made one of my days in Sardinia. This is just one of ALL the photos I took of them. Similar poses and forms where made during 10-15 minutes in front of (assuming) "his" picture-taking-lady

Motivational Video

Extreme Skate Skiing from David Sjoquist on Vimeo.

I have edited a short little motivational movie for my cousin, Jakob "Rycket" Stromner, and my father Per "Veteranen" Sjoquist. Apparently they have the same skis and I figured that a motivational video like this will make it even more fair in the mental game, adding to their high-elevation training and consuming of pasta.

I have scraped my pockets and bought a computer, whats up! I have edited my first shitty movie and this is the result.

It's a mix of problems from the latest alpinism in Moe's Valley and Bishop:

IsRail V6 in Moe's

Moonraker V9 - Buttermilks

Staind Glass V10 - Buttermilks

Back in Moe's

It turns out we had another weekend in Moe's. Not too much difference from other trips, same old same and I love it: 4 days in the dessert sun with a buttload of bouldering.

We did go in to town one night, driving around, went to a cinema etc. While driving around we past the Mormon Tempel in St. George, my first reaction was "Ohboy, look at this fucking shit", my second thought was that we should go in to the "Visitor center" and listen to what they had to say. It's weird, I had almost the exact same feeling when I entered this "Visitor Center" as I had when I entered a bordello in Spain to buy a Coke. As soon we came in the entrance a "nice" looking guy in suit immediately starting to ask question about where we were from and what he could "help us with". After a couple of minutes we where on a "tour" with a missionary through a place filled with Jesus statues, paintings of Mormon leaders, a table with "The Book of Mormon" in 70 languages and diorama of a modern Mormon family etc. No mather what how fucked up I think this whole religious thing is, at the same time I think its really interesting who SO many people blindly just accept and believe in it - how you can just skip all the logic behind it and happily "give" your life to it, with everything from money(10 % of your income), time, and lifestyle.
