I was in Narvik earlier this summer, which is in the north of Norway, with big mountains, gondola, midnight sun and whatnot, Espen has probably mentioned this place also... anyway, I ducktaped a DV cam to my helmet and did a run down the DH course up there, to show everyone what it's like...
The course record is 4:02 on dry dust, the helmetcam run is about 5:20.

So, lean back, strap your goggles on and enjoy the ride :)

The best thing "up there" is that you have 24hour sunlight during summer :-D
Lifts are usually open until 0100 at night...very nice, but a bit far away for me, and waaaay far away for you guys...

Nice vid! I come from Denmark but was unable to get to Åre. Did you meet any of the danes? Perhaps Lars Mortensen?

Jorgen - do you know when Nordic Ride will be availible? I talked to one of the guys who made it, and he promissed to get me a free copy, but I lost his email. Can't remeber where I found it. Do you by any chance have it? I think it was a link from www.mtbfreerider.com

Nice trail that... Too bad the cam was tilted down so much. Perhaps mount it on the middle of the downtube next time - which could be a lil too bumpy though - but I love to see those forks working :p
