Nar LT traffar Oskar Pedersen har han precis inlett sasongen med tva tavlingar under en helg i Oslo.
Det blev en seger och en tredjeplats.
Han glads at resultaten, men det ar inte jakten pa pallplatser som driver Lerumskillen.
Jag tycker att det ar roligare att spela in film.
I utbyte far han ekonomiska forutsattningar for att spela in film.
Pa tre ar har han varit med i lika manga produktioner.
Tva ar i rad har han akt till Montreal, nominerad pa International Freeski Film Festival.
Sa hur hamnade en 21-aring fran Lerum dar?
Handbollsintresserade kanner formodligen igen namnet Pedersen.
Pappa Reine var med och gjorde Redbergslid till Sveriges basta lag och ar numera tranare i Baltichovs damlag.
I det laget spelar ena systern, medan den andra fatt sluta pa grund av en korsbandsskada.
Jag spelade ocksa handboll ganska lange.
Men jag ar lite for liten och fick andra intressen, sager Oskar.
Han har provat det mesta som gar att hoppa och gora konster med.
Skateboard, mountainbike, inlines, och i somras kopte han en motocross.
Men framfor allt ar han en talang pa skidor.
Han tar sig an gigantiska hopp, snurrar varv efter varv i luften och glider langs racken.
Pa de arliga fjallsemestrarna med familjen imponerades han tidigt av friakarna.
Han fragade om han fick filma oss sa att han holl pa med ett skolprojekt.
Det var starten pa ett samarbete som hittills resulterat i tre filmer.
Den forsta fick titeln Empty Pocket, en beskrivning av produktionens budget.
Till uppfoljaren hade forutsattningarna forbattrats avsevart.
Jag var den forsta att gora en trippel framatvolt.
Den forste vad man vet, garderar han sig.
Men nar folk lyckas med nya grejer brukar dom snabbt laggas ut pa natet.
Jag sa till dom att jag inte skulle prova for jag ville inte satta press pa mig sjalv.
Men sa testade jag en gang och kraschade.
Sen testade jag tva ganger till, och kraschade dom gangerna ocksa.
Da testade jag ytterligare en gang till och slog i backen med skidorna forst.
Friskidakning ar ofrankomligt forenat med ett visst vagspel.
Som exempel berattar Oskar en episod fran inspelningen av den senaste filmen, da en helikopter hyrts in.
Problem uppstod nar ett ovader drog in.
Liftarna stangdes av, men det hindrade inte skidakarna som tog sig upp med hjalp av skotrar.
I vanliga fall hade vi vantat ut ovadret, men nu hade vi bara en timme pa oss.
Det var bara att kora.
Ibland maste du ta risker.
Det kan gora ont, men dom gangerna man klarar att gora nagonting extra ger det en adrenalinkick.

When LT hits Oskar Pedersen has he just started the season with two races during aweekend in Oslo.
It was a victory and a third place.
He was pleased with the results,but it is not the hunt for podium finishes running Lerum guy.
- I think it’s more fun to play a movie.
In exchange, he economic conditions torecord the movie.
In three years he has been involved in as many productions.
Twoyears in a row, he has traveled to Montreal, the nominee of the International FreeskiFilm Festival.
So how did a 21-year-old from Lerum get there?
Handball Interested know probably recognize the name Pedersen.
The team plays one sister, while the other had to stop because of acruciate ligament injury.
- I also played baseball for quite some time.
He has tried most things that can jump and do tricks with.
Skateboarding, mountain biking, inline skating, and last summer he bought a motocross.
But above all he is a talent on skis.
He takes ongigantic jumps, spins round and round in the air and glide along the rails.
- He asked if he could film us saying he was doing a school project.
It was the start of a collaboration which has so far resulted in three films.
The firstwas titled Empty Pocket, a description of the production budget.
As a sequel conditions had improved considerably.
- I was the first to do a triple forward volts.
The first what you know, hedging himself.
But when people succeed with new stuff usually they quickly posted on the web.
I told them that I would not try because I did not put pressure on myself.
But then I tried again and crashed.
Then I tried two more times, and crashed them few times too.
Then I tried again and hit the slopes with my skis first.
Friskidakning is inevitably associated with a particular gamble.
Problems arose when a storm came up.
The lifts were cut, but that did not stop skiers who took up with the help of scooters.
It was just to run.
Sometimes you have to take risks.
