Team training today with Björn and Thomas. First we met up at Kungsbacka for a 2h warm-up session including all kind of riding 🙂 Then after a lunch at a commercial burger chain we went to the new build track in Lerum and tried that track out. When we arrived we were already tired but the riding and the track were incredibly fun even though the track were under construction. Björn did the best line of the day with a dubble manual to a dubble jump right after, really clean. Need to learn that double manual thing someday… 🙂

A damn good gym session
Had a damn good gym session today including running, spinning, legs and arms, here´s a serious selfie!
Two weeks til the first race
Two weeks til the first race of the year and it starts in Storvorde, Denmark! My nervosity has all ready visited me and it feels kinda nice! It’s going to be fun to see how the danish bmx cruiser scene is and that’s why I’ll give it a try now, hope there will be a lot of riders in that cup!
I’m almost 5 practices in to my new clipless Time Atac pedals and after a few adjustments of the cleats I’m starting to feel really comfortable with them. This weekend holiday I’m spending in the south of Sweden and today I had some sprints in the dirt, loved it!

FTW bmx
This year me and Björn Berglund will race as a team, FTW bmx and support each other through this season. We co-worked on name and logo and it got a bit of love and a piece of pirate in it. More info will come…
This weekend I went to Stockholm and had a chill vacation with shopping and family stuff. On Sunday I finally got the chance to ride with Björn on his home track in Älvsjö, a really fun and tight track, we had a blast!
