Kungsbacka’s club championship

Today it was time for Kungsbacka’s club championship. My body was a little bit sore but I felt that it would be fun to enter!

At the track, it was a nice atmosphere and Ola Lindström a cruiser 40+ riders started the pep talk, he’s funny and great!

We were only 8 people in our class, mixed up 30+ and 40+. This means that we have no qualifying races, just 4 heats where everyone have to give it all in every race, extremely hard today 🙂

Heat 1, after a nice start i were 2th in the first corner and on the third straight I managed to get by Ola and do some wheelies at the same time with out doing mistakes.

Heat 2, here it was time for Ola to win, I made three big mistakes and almost flew over the handlebars. But I fought all I could and was 50 cm from a win 😉

Heat 3 I won after getting by Hans Onken who finished second in this heat. Even in this race I made big mistakes, missing my pedaling, pumping with out rhythm…

Heat 4, Here I found a gap in the first turn and past Onken and finished in 1th place, my turning skills works fine now!

So in the end after 3 wins and 1 second place I stood as the overall winner.

Winning is fun but my riding was actually beneath contempt with errors and mistakes, the only that were working was my starts and turnings, so now it’s time to practice!

Extra: Some of the elite riders entered the club championship in dresses, nice touch 😀

Chill session with a squeeze of jumping!

Today I went to the track in Kungsbacka to take a chill session cause I have some pain in my knees, running knees… I did a few starts and took it easy most of the times.

Later on we had a jumping session on the second straight and a little bit unexpected I managed to remove of my goals this year, jumping the first double! I blame the kids at the track, they pushed me to do it 🙂 #nophotojustpepp

Last of round of Swe cup

This weekend was the last of 8 rounds of Swe Cup, it’s the swedish cup for bmx and here comes a summary.

Saturday: the 7th round started good with some good heat battles with my friend Björn, but in the A final there was a fast Norwegian guy, Pål Grotnes, that where really superior so me and Björn fighted for the second place, I lost and finished third but were really stoked! I jumped one of the large doubles on the track and it felt sick, see the first video!

Sunday: the 8th round were a little bit slower I had 3 great heats all ended in second place behind the Norwegian guy. Then it would come to the A final, that was the sickest I ever road. I have had some problem with another rider, Andreas that are really blocking me all the time and in the finale I really focused on him. After a pretty good start we came up side by side in the first corner, second place, I felt that he were getting closer to my side so I tried to jump by him and managed to get a little bit a head then just before the second corner i felt him on right side so I decided to make one of his moves and turned to the right and made a block. Unfortunately I hit his tier and he crashed to the ground and Björn that were behind him smashed in to him. I managed to run away and get on the bike immediately and hold my 2th place. The good thing here is that no one got hurt but my shoes are mashed up 😉

So this was the last of 8 race days in this cup and I managed to keep the gold sign and win the cup! I’m super stocked an look forward to next years Swe Cup!
