Andrew Hardingham Goes to Norway!
ThirtyTwo's Andrew Hardingham recently took a trip to Norway. The following is an entry out of his ever-so-secret journal. Enjoy!
Norway. I was like, WOW. "No r way (no R) this place is cool." The women have fantastic bone structure and the dudes like to party. I like ladies with good bone structure and I love to party, so this seemed to be the perfect place for me. Although it cost $7983.50 to take a cab five blocks, I wouldn't let it faze me. The best part about Norway is that I wasn't raped by a single viking and I didn't see one church burned to the ground by any Norwegian death metal bands. I'd say we hit it good.
To give you a quick, less boring account of our trip, I will start with the Arctic Challenge. Terje had a new baby three days before he set a new world quarterpipe big air record at 9.8 meters. Ten meters gets you a $50,000 gold Oakley watch. Kind of weird that he didn't just go 20 centimeteres higher and get the watch. Then I saw Dustin Craven at a bar later that night. We met in the middle of the bar for a "It's been way too long!" hug, then proceeded to drink water because we are both mormons , saving ourselves for marriage. And booze gets us both into gross sex with devil girls.
We walked the streets of Oslo 'til 6:00 am, trying to get mugged. No one took the bait. Too bad. Even though Dustin had to ride in the Arctic Challenge finals the next day, we pushed on 'til the sun came up. Little D lost the competition, but we had a cool zinc party and ate reindeer meat. That night, we partied with some of the most aggressive chicks I've ever met. Dustin had to fly to Japan that night, so we unfortunately had to part ways with him for the remainder of the trip.
Kevin Sansalone is about to film a ThirtyTwo logo (how boring).
Two-and-a-half feet or 70 cm of pow fell on Hemsidal and then it was GO TIME! Sansalone and I shredded that place like it was an incriminating document. After three days, we headed to Voss and killed it in the rain. Wall rides and scrambled eggs. Pretty cool. I drove while Kevin slept the whole way back to Oslo, all eight hours of it (prick). Kev left, but I stayed an extra day so I could drink tea, ride BMX, sing Moulin Rouge cover songs and have a pillow fight with four gorgeous Norwegians. 'Twas the best trip ever!
Dustin Craven with a sword in the head. That's Norway for you.
Facts about Norway:
1) The vikings raped and pillaged!
2) If you have a sauna, you have to go naked, or they will think you're gay.
3) You can't haggle with taxi drivers in Oslo, because they wear shorts in the sauna.

This one time I went to Norway for the 1985 table tennis championships.
I heard the kids in Norway were reciting your lines! Way to go Hardingham! Good stuff. Keep up the PMA!
Hardlyhammed after all our talks you still don't know the difference between Death Metal and Black Metal. Death Metal is P___Y and Black Metal is Scary P____ies doing scary things in the woods

Say hi to Kevin=) Hellasnella@hotmail.com Helene
I find it interesting that you guys posted this humurous yet slightly rediculous post of what im sure is only one of many of Andrews rediculously adventures he calls a "career" (god bless him for it), but (run on sentences fit well with the theme of this blog dont you think?) why isn't he listed under the team? Sure this is all very trivial, but its 8pm and im stuck in shack in the middle of nowhere, while it snows for the first time in weeks, and i have nothing but my computer and some ripped jeans to enjoy it all.
good question. why isn't his name on the site? iv known him to be part of your team for years.???
Speak your mind...
