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

Riding, filming
The last weekend has been a lot of riding, first all saturday with Johan Brundin back on his bike, Emil and Martin. We were mostly around the docks and centre of Gothenburg, a really good ride. Yesterday I and Christian were out around Majorna for for street. I've got 4.5 mins of good footage for my next video now, hopefully I can get it finished tomorrow. Today I was out on my BMX bike all day, with some guys from Stockholm who stopped in Gothenburg on their roadtrip around Sweden. I'll go out with them again tomorrow, and hopefully we will all ride the concrete skatepark in Alingsås on wednesday. It's great having a week off work,

TeamXstream
I recieved a really cool mail yesterday, apparently one of my videos uploaded to the extreme sports video-site www.teamxstream.com won their contest :D The price is a Freebord, a sort of skateboard designed to ride like a snowboard, which sounds like loads of fun (and bruises). Check them out at www.freebords.se/.

Filming for a new video
Last saturday (5th) I was out riding with Linus, some street in the centre of Gothenburg. We got some really good footage for my next video, I hope to finish it soon. There's a slight chance I can get another video to be shown at Burger King, the competition is still running. The ride was good, first time with my King hub. It worked well and I'm really happy to have finally bought one.

You will be missed, Robert Janson
Robert Janson, one of my best friends and a fellow rider died last Friday. We are many who will miss him, he was a legend on the Trials-Forum and a really cool person to ride with or just hang out with. I made many videos together with Robert, and he was very talented both as a rider, video editor, musician and generally a clever and helpful person. Riding wont ever be the same without him.
