Fuck the Swedish healthcare system...
So in the last days in Barca my old knee sterted to swollen up.
As I cracked a bloodvessel in it before I imidietly knew that was the case again.
I did not want to go to the hospital in Spain, so I took the first flight home to Sweden.
I landed on friday and on saturday I went to the E.R. to drain it, as I did the last time this happen.
When get there there are not that many people there, so I take a seat, but after 6 hours a nurse comes up to me and asks if it´s ok if I come back to morrow or go to a "lokal E.R."? Sure, no problem, the people that came in and got ahead of me in line had bigger problems with me.
So the next day I go to the lokal E.R. to get some help, BUT the doctor that sees me doesnt even looks interested in me or my knee, he only pulls it back ones and then say it´s a inflamation and it should be ok in two months(!)
Fuck him, this morning I go back to the big E.R. and they that they dont want drain it because they think I have enough movment in the knee.
But they would gladly give me drugs for it and it should be ok in a couple of weeks.
Why couldnt they have drained it? It´s in the exactly the same shape as it has been for the last 5 days.
Anyway, now I´m in bed for two weeks...

To day should of been friday the 13th
Today we went out to a bank spot 20 min outside of Barca.
The bank is right to a pilicestation, and they saw us but didnt care, alltough it was a highwaypatrol-station, not a standard.
It some work to get it skateable, but after awhile we got it done.
Bjerten then started trying k-grind to fakie on te curb on top of the bank.
Then he dislocated his shoulder in the air some how, scraming and shouting. We laid him on a curb to see if we could get it in place and all of the sudden cops come rolling in with bluelights and everything, telling us that we cant skate here etc.
They walk up to Bjerten to see how his doing and ends up calling an ambulance. They the explane that they been sitting and watching us on a surveillancecamera and saw that something happen.
Ambulance came and Bjerten was away.
We then went to a spot a few 100m awy and started skating, then the same copcar went under the bridge we were skating, really slow.
We paced our stuff super fast and went for the station, and right outside the trainstation cops come with the bluelights on, but doesnt see us and just go´s to the spot.
Needles to say the would defenetly giving us tickets and steal all our cameragear if were to get caught.
Actuall photo of Bjerten disslocating his shoulder.

Busted...
Yesterday we got busted by cops while shooting and filming on Josef Scott.
Fortunetly Josef made the trick before they came.
John Romo and Daniel Loren was still trying to shoot a fs heel over the rail when the cops came.
But we were lucky, because it´s the end of the year they have to fill their yearly quotient of tickets, so they do busts and take everyones boards and camera equipment. But the cops from yeasterday was pretty nice and did let us go.

Day five & six in Barca
So I finally got to go to a Barcelona game at Camp Nou.
It was one of the best things I´ve done in a long while.
To see and hear almost 100 000 persons scream at the same time was powerfull.

Day four in Barca
Today we went to a bankspot that where under construction when got there.
Then we ended up at Fondo and skated a bit. We shot Björn doing double bs flip over the benches from the bank.
Still sour feet, and kind of tired after the day. Dont know whats up for tomorrow but it probably involves alot of walking.

One of those days... (day three in Barca)
As a result of the beers we found yesterday, today was a bit of a slow day.
But we manage to get our asses out to for a switch feeblegrind by Mark.
With the day before still in his system he gave all his best. Unfortunately that was not enough.
Then we pretty much ended up walking the rest of the day.
We did found our selfs at a cool spot where we shot a photo.
Jonas did a couple of bs Tails.
But right now my feets are killing me, of to a shower and out for a late dinner.
