    My First Vlog – Vlog1

    Release date: April 8, 2020

    Finally the time has come when I released my first vlog from where I started the road to my independence. And I’m sorry I uploaded it like 2 months too late and also the quality isn’t the best but I will try to make the next ones look better (I’m still learning :))

    First of all I decided to start making my own vlogs so these are going to be without Henry, it was a bit hard and still is to figure out all this filming and editing stuff because I don’t have much experience with such things. Also I thought it would be fun to try out vlogging all by my own, but in the end I still needed my mum’s and coach/bf Mihkel’s help and hopefully my next vlogs will also be created with the help from them. Second big change for me was that I don’t train or ski with my dad and Henry anymore. This season I was more on my own, but luckly I had my mum and bf Mihkel, who was also coaching me or just supported. I’m so happy that I still did so well at the comps , won 3 comps out of 4 :)) So this vlog is about my adventures at Youth Olympics in Switzerland and also about the biggest contest XGames.

    Week in LA – Vlog 2

    Release date: June 22, 2020

    I was in US for about a month and after XGames I had one week off before DewTour started, so we decided to go to LA. Between two comps I had to take a break from skiing and it would have been really annoying just to sit home, seemed so much better to go exploring. I had never been to Los Angeles before and I think it was really cool there, I would have liked to stay a little longer so we could had a chance to explore more. Most of the time we were just sitting on the beach and surfing. You have no idea how much I liked and enjoyed it. Also I visited Disneyland for the second time in my life, first time I went to Tokyo Disneyland and I would say I liked the US one more. The attractions/rollercoasters weren’t super big or scary in neither one of them but it doesn’t matter beacuse we still had such a fun day.

    I Got a Puppy – VLOG 3

    Release date: July 26, 2020

    For this vlog I had some exciting stuff planned but then the coronavirus came and ruined my plans. So most parts of this vlog weren’t really planned, I just went with the flow, for example I got my ears pierced. But before corona I luckly had a chance to take part of FIBIT fashion show, which was so great experience and I liked it so so much that I can’t wait for the next time when I’ll get that opportunity. And the best part of the vlog is when I got myself a husky puppy!! How cool is that! Finally one of the biggest dreams of my life came true 🙂 right now Kira is pretty big already but you should definitely watch how little she was when we got her!

    Enjoy!

    Qualified for Olympics – Vlog 16

    Release date: January 16, 2022

    I spent my first 3 weeks of December competing in The United States. The plan was to take part of 5 different comps but due to some difficulties I wasn’t able to start in Dew Tour’s slopestyle – it was miserable! However I still did the rest of the competitions and the schedule stayed pretty tight.

    My main goal in US was to qualify for the Olympics in Halfpipe. Prior to the event my Olympics spot was uncertain since I hadn´t earned any points yet. I knew that if I successfully landed my run It would probably be enough to earn my spot. And now I can proudly tell you all that I made it – so cool! Dew Tour took place on the last week where I did Halfpipe and also Streetstyle, which was a completely new experience to me. I´m really satisfied with this trip and my results!

    Most X Games Medals as a Teen in the History – Vlog 17

    Release date: January 26, 2022

    2022 started with a journey. We flew to US on the first days of January to compete there, but unfortunately our luggage was left behind in Europe. After few days nobody hadn’t delivered our bags and by that time I wasn’t sure if I can even compete because I didn’t have my clothes, my ski gear or my knee brace, which was the most important piece missing. But then Mike went on a 34h journey to get our bags to Mammoth that I could still compete, but this trip wasn’t too smooth either.

    In the end everything still turned out great and I was able to land my runs.

    After the World Cups in Mammoth we went to Los Angeles for a week (this vlog will be dropping some other time), just to relax before the XGames. And I’m happy to tell you that luckly we didn’t have any issues when travelling to XGames, everything went as planned, thank god! This year I decided to compete only in Slopestyle and Halfpipe. The past years it’s been super hard to do all three, it’s hard both menatlly and physically so I just wanted to focus more on Slope and Pipe. I feel it was a smart decision. First I had Halfpipe finals on Friday which went super well! I won my second Halfpipe gold at XGames and became the most XGames medals won teen in XGames history – wow! Sadly the next day didn’t go so well. I fell on my first run on the second rail and hit my head a little so I decided to pull out from the comp, which again was a smart move I think. It wasn’t anything serious and right now I’m back to full health so you don’t have to worry about me!

    My First Olympic Medal – Vlog 18

    Release date: April 10, 2022

    My first Olympics! The goal for this season was to stay in a good shape, stay healthy and avoid injuries, so I could go to my first Olympics. I found myself often thinking what if I get injured during the season and I won’t be able to go to China like it happened back in 2018 before Pyeongchang Olympic games. Looking back at my journey I can peacefully say that I made it there without any major setbacks.

    Not to mention it was still a rocky path, where I often found myself in stressful and nerve-racking situations. All in all everything came to a great end, I’m really proud of my bronze medal which I won in Slopestyle. But that’s not everything. I still had two World Cups to attend before finishing my competition season.

    I managed to win the last WC of the season in Silvaplana and got myself a trophy that I never had and which I can now proudly say I have in my collection! 🙂
