  • Mr Sunday racer aka Björn Berglund

    This weekend Mr Sunday-racer aka Björn Berglund was here in Gothenburg to have a session at the track in Kungsbacka with me. We started of early hitting the track and it felt incredible, for the first time this year I had a real jumping session and tried stuff that I haven’t done in a while, thank you for the pep Björn! It was really fun to ride with him again even though he has progressed a lot more than me 😉

    At the end of the day I asked Björn if I could try to put on his SPD on my bike and have a ride. First time ever with SPD I road a few laps and I felt that this is something I need to have and ride with in the near future. Now it’s time to research this subject!

  • A little bit off my game

    Last week I was a little bit off my game. It felt like I haven’t been on the bike for weeks and nothing was working for me. I guess that it feels this way sometimes. Cause of this I decided to change my bike settings. Johan at the track told me that I should try to get my bars higher because he thought my manuals looked a bit weird. So I put on a 8mm spacer below the stem and put the bars 5mm forward. Today I will try this out at the track.

  • Recovery week…

    Tuesday I had a great day at the track with some technical stuff but mostly fun riding. Unfortunately I woke up with the flu the day after so there were no training until yesterday when I went for a run. So this week will be added to the calendar as the “recovery week…”

  • Thank you lifesum

    7 weeks later I have reached my goal weight, from 76 kg to 68ish, yay! This went a little bit faster than I expected but I’m not 100% satisfied with the result even though my body feels smoother I still need to drop some kilos around the waist! So now I will set my Lifesum app at the goal weight of 65 kg and with a weight loss of 0,3 kg a week instead of 0,5 kg. The weight loss rate will be slower but my plan is to train a little bit harder now.

    Thank you Lifesum!

  • Best bmx racing day this year

    Best bmx racing day this year! Sun, a hard track, gate practice and a lot of riders, pure magic! <3

  • Area 51

    Visited Area 51 an indoor skatepark here in Gothenburg today and had a nice session with a lot of manuals and small transfers. This week I’ve been at the track and at the gym as usual and everything feels smooth, just wishing for more time at the track the next couple of weeks!

  • Hurrrrrray

    Hurrrrrray, today was the first real training at the track since the snow came! The track had held up really good this winter, it was soft but you could still keep some speed through the track. This session I focused on speed, love and bike handling, hello world!

  • A pair of Vans Gravel

    Got my new shoes for season 2014 today and it was a perfect match! This pair of Vans Gravel I bought at Two Wheel Sports, a bmx racing shop here in Gothenburg.

    Training wise it’s getting there, I added some new exercise for my back and it felt really good. …braap braap, this weekend I will hit the track!

  • Lifesum

    Last week I ended up being sick so I have had 4 days of resting so this week has been a little slow with some lightweight gymming and a nice run. Because of this slow start I took the opportunity to visit my naprapath and straighten up my back.

    I’ve been using the Lifesum app for 4 weeks now and in the image above you can see my progress for this weeks, 4,8 kg down! The pace is going a little bit faster then I expected but that’s good I think, 6 weeks to goal 😉

    Next week it’s probably time for some bmx racing and thats awesome!
