World Champion 2009
Scooter 1 dog, Saguenay, Quebec, Canada

It was a very hilly trail. Not tecnical, but much fun!  It was hard to deside witch dog to use: Frøken Norge or Miss Alaska?? But Frøken was really motivated, and was the lucky one. Domenic from Swiss was no. 2 and Venke de Lange no. 3.

In scooter two dogs I was second. It was OK, but Frøken was tired downhill after the two days in the 1 dog class. She has injured one toe, and gravel road is really hard for her (I don't know the english word "forkalkning", but it will not heel) Igor Tracz fom Poland won.

Norwegian Champion
Gåsbu/Hamar 2009. Frøken Norge, Miss Alaska, Romeo and Tin. Track record on saturday, and fast times on friday and sunday.

Pirena 2009
It was a great experinece! 14 days with competitions. I particitated in skijoring, with Frøken Norge, Miss Alaska and Romeo. You are only allowed to use 1 or 2 dogs. I used 2 dogs in each stage. It was much heavy snow, and much heavy wether this year. The skijorers went from 11 km to 24 km. I had 2. best time of all, includes sleds, in one 24 km and 12 km. And the beste time of all in a 12 km trail. That was fun! Skijorers and sleds competed in the same trail/distance 5 times.

For the "organization Pirena" nothing is impossible. They never see problems, only solutions. That is great! You can read more at www.pirena.com
We hope to participate next year too...

A new generation Greysthers
I got tired of not using my own dogs in 4-dog class. Kjetil's dogs have done really good for me, but they miss the extra explosive strenght in the hills and turns.

May 17. 2007 Bergans, Buff, Fart, Lucky, Alpina and 4 others were born. Froken Norge and the Swedish Greyhound "Black Warrior" are the parents.
This will be the same breeding as Turboprinsen's mother. She ran for about 5 km. Just enough for off-snow races. We will breed Bergans as soon as possible with Miss Alaska, hopfully during the spring 2009, and we will have new Turboprinsen's, Tigergutt's and Cherrie's. I can hardly wait...

Alpina is about 5 months in the picture

Comeback in the World Championships 2007
My 4-dog team in Gafsele (Sweden) World Championships 2007. I borrowed two of Kjetil's unlimited dogs. I was far behind the first day (number 4). Froken Norge and Miss Alaska were playing the whole trail. This because we two weeks earlier made the movie "The road to the Olympics", and it was a lot of stop-run-play-stop-play.... The second and third day I put another dog in lead (Step) with Miss Alaska, and we had the fastes time both days. We ended up with the silver medal.

In the picture: Step (Kjetil), Miss Alaska, Froken Norge and Flash (Kjetil)

Frøken Norge and Miss Alaska
Froken Norge and Miss Alaska were bought as puppies in 2005. I found out that is was difficult to live without the competitions. Ole Brumm and Turbo Junior were getting older... The females were European and World Champions 1,5 years old. The picture is from the WCh. Rastede Germany 2006. They were also World Champions in 2007 in Piandelagotti in Italy.

The females are pure Votsthers, and bought because I did not get any puppies my selves. They are running really greate as lead dogs in 4-dog, and offcourse in kickbike 2-dog. I only had two grown up dogs, so I used Kjetil's unlimited dogs in my 4-dog team off-snow. I did non sled competition after 2003, until 2007.

The last season: 2003
2003 was the last winter-season with my own dogs. I ended my career with European- and World Championship gold in 4-dog class. Norwegian Champion in 4-dog, 6-dog KingsCup, pulka 2-dog 15 km, and skijoring.
In the KingsCup race i used Ole Brumm, Turbo Junior, Funny, ET, Nikita (Kjetil) and Lob (Kjetil). Picture: Ole Brumm and me. 

Ole Brumm and Turbo Junior
After Turboprinsen, Tigergutt and Cherrie (sister), there was Batgirl, Alaska and Snehvit. They also had great Victories, in all my categories.

And after that Ole Brumm and Turbo Junior, grandsons of Turboprinsen. They won the World Champions in St. Moritz 1999 when they were 1,5 years old, as lead dogs in my 4-dog team. They have done great ever after. 

The picture is from the World Championship in Fairbanks 2001. Turbo Junior did great in the relay (gold). He also won the 23 km skijoring together with Snehvit and me. An we took the track record on Jeff Studdart Race Ground in 4-dog World Championships a couple of days later (3x 7,2 km)

Good old days....
The team in the '90. Sicko, Cherrie, Batgirl, Tigergutt (brown), Kristoffer Robin and Turboprinsen  

European Championship 1995
In 1995 both Kjetil and I won the European Championship in Serre Chevalier in France. Unlimited class and 4-dog class. My father and my handler Kine are also in the picture.
I have had some great handlers. Among others I have to mention Eva Thorslund Aadland in addition to Kine Moen Holilokk. They really understood what I was thinking all the time!!

Turboprinsen's birthday
Birthday-party! Turboprinsen was 10 years old in 1998. We invited all of his good friends, hardlers and others with connection to him. Turboprinsen got many gifts, we had a funny quiz about his life, and eat good cake. Turboprinsen was sitting together with Tigergutt...

Ultra Sport and Vi Menn
In 1994 we had some big newspaper and magazin stories with this picture. The photo sesion was in a fashion magazine studio, and it took houres. The dogs were quite tired of wearing their dresses after. But it was fun!

The Greysther was a sucsess!
Turboprinsen and I was World Champions in Pulka Class in 1991, Winnipeg, Canada. We got much attention for our results in that period. And also because we did unusual things, like wearing this nice dog-suite. The picture is from Holmenkollen in Oslo.

14. years with Citroën
I was working full time at my fathers Citröen-garage from 1988 to about 2002. I had 5-7 dogs inside my office every day. The rest of the 24 houres I was training and sleeping. It was quite serious!

I had a great car, with pictures of me all over...

Supporters
Bad Mitterndorf 1992. Some of my faithful supporters: Alvilde Marie Moen, Kine Moen, Leif Moen, Liv Boysen (my mother), Bjoern Faye and Kjell Moen. My father was probably running arownd with me... I have been lucky to have a big team supporting me. Even my grand mother Enny joined me around. We had many great times.

A new breeding: "Ben Johnson and Grete Waitz mix"
Turboprinsen (1988) and Tigergutt (1991) was "Greysthers": 25% greyhound and 75% vorsther. They were both great in all disiplines. From the beginning of the '90 I had 7-11 dogs, and mostly Greysthers. Many people thought this mix was no good, because the greyhound would hunt the target and run no more. That did not happend. They ran, and passed other teams like any other Vorsther. I trained them the same way I trained my Vorsthers.

My first sled season
In 1992 i started with sled (3-dog class), in addition to Pulka class. I was searching for more international competition, and new goals. Until 2003 i competed in both classes, and was the first one (and only one!?) to be World Champion in both sled and pulka in the same championship: St.Moritz 1999.

In the picture from 1998: Sicko (Erlend Aadland), Tigergutt, Batgirl and Snehvit

Our first international race
Our first international year was 1988. The picture is from the race "Pulka Blanche" in Alpe d'Huez in France. The dog's name was "Marco". Until 1996 we had to put our dogs in a 4 months quarantine when we returned to Norway.

My first "big" victory
I was in Nittedal Dog Club's relay team in 1982 in the Norwegian Championship (for children) and we won the gold medal. I'm not sure, but I think Anita Halvorsen and Laila Nordby were in my team. My first individual gold medal was in 1983. I used our dog Paco, and I was really proud.

The beginning...
My father was a active pulka musher. He was quite good, but the European and World Championships was not inventet at that time. The pulka sport was big in Norway, Sweden and Finland. But because of the quarantine/rabies we did not compete in central Europe before 1988. My club Holmenkollen arranged the "Mini-ECh" in 1986, and we got French and German pulka mushers to Norway. They used our Norwegian dogs, had fun and made good contact for the future.
 

My first dog
I was 5 years old, without brothers or sisters, when the best Christmas gift ever was entring the house: "Nusse". She was a brown Vorsther (German Shorthaired Pointer). That was in 1975. In 1979 I did my first race in pulka with Nusse...

Dad and me
My dad Arne and me. A long time ago... My parents have always been very supportive. I'm born April 20. 1969
