Jon Olsson, the pretty boy of Sweden, has joined the blogosphere. Jon, the well-known new-school skier who is always surrounded by foxy ladies, has started videoblogging. Olsson posts videos to his blog almost in daily basis. I have to say that Jon’s videos are damn good! Just watch for example Mocano Cribs and you know what I mean.

Tell me who Jon Olsson is. Although he is a freeskiing star, I bet most of the daily readers have never heard of Jon Olsson, so let’s find out who he is. Long, long time ago when new school skiing was just starting to emerge; one shiny boy from Sweden came with great talent and skills. The boy was Jon Olsson, a young radical skier who was going to (get all the ladies and) become one of the best known freeskiers in the world. Nowadays Jon Olsson IS one of the brightest stars in the freeskiing sky, and is very well known and respected by the freeskiing scene.
