It’s 1400 and I’m still in bed… Yesterday was an interesting day actually, surprising maybe is a better word. From nowhere Daniel pulled of a latw-latw-latw-latw in one of our performances for red bull. I was in shock since I just do heeljuggles!
Today is our first day off, but it’s rather a travel day… We got to sleep long but we will spend hours of travelling, let’s see if there’s wifi in the new place, I not it may take a few days until next update…
Right now it’s 1300 and I’m still lying in my bed here in bursa. Daniel is also here, watching some movies on the iPod.
Yesterday was a regular performance day and so is today, but we seem to have some location troubles so we will start an hour later then usual I think.
Last time I were in turkey it was about 25 degrees and all I saw was the beach and a nice drink in my hand… This time it’s snow, in turkey… I did not think it was snowing over here:)
On the boat I had to visit the toilette… But when I opened the door I saw something which I’m personally not used to, so I thought twice and my conclusion was that it could wait.
Yesterday our friends from turkey came again to freestyle with us… Once again I was told “combo, start” and today I was in a good mood so I did a bunch of atws for him.
After the performances we had dinner at “Sosa” where I had three main dishes. After the dinner we went back to the hotel to sqeeze in as many hours of sleep before 0700 the next morning.
Today we were picked up by Doga at red bull turkey, we were supposed to catch a little boat to bursa… We missed it even though Schumacher was driving. Now we’re waiting for the next one so during the time we all have some “cola turka”. It’s delicious:)
So I arrived to Istanbul, Daniel arrived before me so I found him at a cafe drinking a cup of coffe.
We were picked up by a nice van with good space for the legs… The traffic here in istanbul is crazy, it took us about 1h30min to get to our hotel which were supposed to be only 30min away.
We went to bed early and got a good sleep.
Yesterday we performed in a shoppingmall together with a couple of Turkish football freestylers. After I changed into shorts I was about to warm up when one of the freestylers walks up to me, gives me his ball and says “palle, combo start”. This is always very encouraging so I pulled myself together and showed him some classic heeljuggles… I love it!
Today we’ve been in the swimmingpool and the sauna here at the hotel, right now we’re waiting for the red bull event to start…
Palle
PS. I bought a book at the airport that I want to recommend, it’s called “tårt-generalen”.
Hi, how are you? Sorry for the lack of posts lately but it’s been busy times… Now it’s time to relax for a bit in turkey. Me and daniel rooseboom are going on a red bull street style promo tour for 11 days.
I heard that the weather is not really that warm at the moment but I guess it’s better then -10 and snow!
It will be good to just being able to freestyle without having to take care of other business aswell.
Right now I’m sitting on the airport in Gothenburg, the airplane is delayed… Probably due to the weather!
I hope we have wifi in turkey so I can giv you some updates about what’s happening!
In Day1 in India we were shooing a TV commercial, when we were not shooting for the commercial all of us shot individual clips, noone knew what it was for and I thought it was just for the Indian company so they knew a bit more about us and our different styles.
This morning I found this video on youtube, very random that I found but cool!
I thought it was quite cool so I just wanted to share it with you guys!
I went to a spa & relax resort together with my wife yesterday, it was a wedding gift from someone. I like to just sit in the jacuzzi or the sauna for a while, but after an hour or so I feel I need to do something… like freestyle for example! This place also had a big swimming pool, trampolines etc. So when I got bored I just went out in the swim area and then back in the relax area.
When I jumped from the highest trampoline I forgot to straighten my foot out so I smashed my sole… hard… which means no solestall for a couple of days =)
As most of you know I spent 4 weeks in India together with Daniel Rooseboom and Nam The Man, during this time Nori, Gomez and Petike was also in India but we were touring different cities.
I did not have much possibilities to update my blog very often while I were in India so for all of you who wondered what was happening over there, here’s some of my memories captured on video:
A couple of days ago when I was going through my hard drive I found this commercial I did back in 2008. It was quite funny actually since the commercial was recorded in Denmark, Copenhagen airport. From my house it would take me around 3-4h with car to get there, but this trip took me about 24h instead.
It was early February 2008 and I was currently in Japan. I got a phone call from my sponsor, montasoccer, where they tell me “Palle, we’ve got a commercial for you in Denmark, it’s for SAS, Scandinavian Airlines”. I thought it was a good opportunity so I took a flight to Beijing and then another one to Kastrup airport in Copenhagen.
I arrived pretty late in Denmark so I went straight to bed, slept as long as I could and then it was two intense days of recording before it was time to fly back to Tokyo, Japan.
