Hey friend,

Christine and I have spent the last three weeks in Denmark, having a much needed mini vacation. And since Denmark is wellknown for its many beautiful biking trails, I decided to bring my new mountain bike.

However, it wouldn’t be a typical Kalle-kinda-vacation unless I had thrown in a little bit of work here and there 🙈 So I made the decision to bring my camera on my rides through the beautiful deciduous forests, to capture some cool video clips. Now, I’ve only really sat on a mountain bike about 3 times in my life prior to this, so before going on my bike ride I did some research on Youtube to find some inspiration on how to find good angles. I really felt like this could turn into some really cool footage! I asked Christine to come along to help me film, gave her some instructions on how I wanted her to capture me, and then we got going. I felt SO cool and cocky, riding my new mountain bike. Just as cool as all the video clips I had just seen on Youtube.

When we finally got home again, I was like a little kid on Christmas. All excited to watch all the footage of me being an absolute champ on my new bike. And then we pressed play…. What I witnessed on the screen was ZERO percent coolness, but rather this cringy man riding his bike in a very slow, awkward and shaky manner. All I saw was a total wimp! I kid you not when saying that my self-image was totally destroyed…! 😅 Turns out I wasn’t as cool as the PRO bikers, after riding a mountain bike 3 times in my life.

Now, why am I telling you this? Because this is exactly the same thing as when somebody says to me “WOW, what an amazing video you did! Which camera did you use?”. The truth is, it is not the camera. What you’re seeing is 14 years of experience behind a camera. What you see are many years of trial and error, research, experiments and gathered knowledge.

Success rarely comes easily. Nor does it come quick, for the most part. Success takes time, effort, work and a lot of commitment.

So… This summer I will spend LOTS of hours on my mountainbike. Because when September comes and we’re visiting Denmark again, I’m going to freaking SLAY when hitting the bike trails! And that’s that!
