Last round of the Swedish Champs

I got second place again,both in the last round and in the overall results. Theres not much to say except Congratulations to Björn Levin for his 5th championship title. It was a great day anyways, I liked the sections which had tricky bits but were possible to clean.

4th Swedish Championship round

Today I rode the 4th Swedish Champ round in Alingsås. It was a good day, the sections were fun with quite tricky bits. I and Björn Levin both rode on 6 dabs each, but unfortunately for me he won the event as he had more clean sections. The final round of the championship will be held tomorrow, very near the venue for todays competition but in a different area.

Dalblads Warehouse Demo

Today I did a demo for Dalblads Nutrition at the opening ceremony of their newly expanded factory/warehouse. It was planned to be an outdoor event, but the bad weather made us move the demo rig indoors into the warehouse. It was a good day with quite a lot of people there for the opening ceremony who saw me ride. Hopefully I'll get pictures from this event too. I'm still waiting for the promised pictures from the Sportson demo and the video from the Malmö street ride, I hope to get them online asap.

Malmö

I and Martin Petrén went down to Malmö to ride the streets down there. It was good riding with Mads, Patrik Björkqvist and the local rider Rickard. Opposite what was said in the forecast the weather was perfect for riding all day yesterday. We ended the session around 9 in the evening at a small skatepark. Mads will hopefully get a fresh video out soon

Sportson demo

This weekend I did a demo for Sportson out on on the shopping area of Backaplan in Gothenburg. It went well, I got cool stuff to ride and a good soundsystem. It seemed like the crowd and the staff enjoyed the show, I certainly did. I hope to get pictures soon :)

Another new street vid!

France trip

Hey all,

I went to France for the BIU World Champs round two the weekend before last, it was quite cool. It's took about 15 hours to drive down, I and my dad took it easy and had a good journey down. When we got to La Tour de Scay we parked the camper van and just hung out with all the people we know. Sadly not a lot of people go to these events any longer, probably in favor of UCI comps. What I like about the BIU is the chilled out athmosphere at the camp, and the activities some organizers have beside the actual comp.

I got 14th in Seniot, which was decent. My second lap was really good except one 5 which I got in the last section. 14 sections two times was hard work. I really liked the man made sections, but didn't really enjoy the slippery rocks in the all natural sections. Anyways, it was a good weekend
