Nothing,

you leave the dancefloor immediately? |
Kind
of depends on the mood and the type of liquid dance shoes I am wearing.
|
| Career aspiration as a child: |
Pilot |
| You are locked up in one room with one person from
the nc-tour for 24h. Who is you first choice and why? |
Todd
Lodwick, no wait already been there too many times! Probably Daito, he is
funny, but kind of mysterious, it would be interesting to crack his code,
so to speak.
|
| Which masterstroke can you perform in the kitchen? |
I
do a mean steak/burger on the grill!You have not eaten meat until you have a good piece of BBQ USA
style.
|
| You are allowed to take 3 things on an isolated
island. What are those? |
A
really nice axe, so you can make what ever you need/want. A really good book, I mean one to live.
Paper and pen to store all the crazy thoughts and dreams you might
have in solitary confinement
|
| You have to swap yoyr body with a women for 4 hours.
Who would you like to be and what would you do? |
Oh
come on! Ok the PG rated
version would be Gyneth Paltrow walking around NYC causing a rucus with my
presence and trying to suprise starstruck people into doing dumb things.
|
| What kind of sweets tempt you? |
Anything
resembling chocolate.
|
| What do you do to balance the stressful life as an
athlete? |
I
get outdoors and relax in solitude, camp, fish, hike, hunt, bike, ski,
pretty much anything that takes me away from people. |
| What do you do at long waiting periods at the airport? |
Sleep. |
| Who would you nominate for the Mr. Nordic Combined
election and why? |
I
guess Hannu Manninen is pretty much a kick ass NC skier, a really nice guy,
and pretty darn smart to boot. He
could act pretty well in office on behalf of the sport.
|
| Country, that is worth emigrating... |
One
I have been to... cough, cough, choke, ...Norway... But there are a whole
bunch more I think have potential in South America and elsewhere
|
| Imagine you can do a timejourney. Where would you
like to travel and why? |
Back
to the mid-late 1800s in American West.
Come-on doesn’t everyone kind of like cowboys and outlaws?
|
| Like what would you like to be reincarnated? |
Like,
I guess I would come back as an eagle or a big Bear.
Something wise and powerful in a way we are not.
|
| You are invisible for one day. Where would you like
to be a fly on the wall? |
Maybe
at Hugh Hefners joint, or else maybe at camp IV Mt. Everest to see what
people at their limits are like alone.
