On a Saturday a sunny morning, we started a adventure to longboard the hills down to Nikkaluokta.

Started from Kiruna after lunch, hit the road to Nikkaluokta, find my self desperate after sunglasses after 30 minutes, sun and snow :-) When we get to Kalasjavri the nature is opening up and the nature is a beauty. The road down to Nikkaluokta has a lot of medium hills and we had some stops to rest and check hills to longboard.
  
We decided to go down to nikkaloukta village first and check out the cafe and lodge. After a fast check we walk up on a hill in front of the cafe with a church on it. The view from the hill into the mountain valley is astonishing, and we chill out on the hill in the sun for a hour or two. Loaded with sun and good spirits we hit the road again and now the target were to bomb some slopes. A bit outside of Nikkaluokta we set camp, fried hot dogs, first descents with longboard for sure.
  
To ride here and make the first descents on a longboard in the astonishing nature feels unreal and real on the same time. The asphalt is a bit ruff, so some flex and soft wheels makes all the difference.
  
After several of hours and tired legs and bellies full of hot dogs we head home in the sunset.
