This year he has already entered some big races like the worlds championship in Zolder. He is leading the National Cup in Denmark and last week he claimed the title as the #1 Nordic Champion down in Ängelholm.
Penn have recently changed to a bigger bike, from 18″ wheels to 20″ wheels. So we sat down with him and had a short interview and a bike check.
Hello Penn, how is it with the little nordic champ?

We had a talk with Vincent Molén and got a 2019 Bike Check
Vincent Molén has already been out racing some European Cups and local races and is keeping up his awesome style and fighting hard with the other riders in his age group, good job! We grabbed him for a moment and took his pulse with some basic questions and a bike check!
Hi, how are you feeling and what are you up to?
I’m feeling great! Racing every weekend right now 😁 really fun! Right now we’re on the way to Engelholm to race “Summer race” but on the way we will stop and train in Lerum and Kungsbacka. How long have you been riding Bmx Racing and how did you get in to the sport?
This is my 8:th year riding. Two of my friends started so I thought I would try!
What was your exceptions on your racing last year and how has they changed to this season?
My expectations was way to high last year, so this year I don’t really have any expectations. Ok, can you explain more about your expectations last year and why you decided that you would ride this season without expectations
My expectations last year in the euoropeancup was too high, and when it didn’t come true I got really disappointed on my self. So this year i though it was better to lower my expectations in the Europeancup. 😃 But in Sweden I want to be on the Box. 😁 Now when the season has started how does your bike feels with that new polished supercross frame and all?
My bike feels really good, I like it a lot!What is your favorite part of your bike set up?
My favorite part of my bike set up is probably my frame 😁 I think it looks good but most important it feels really good!Ok, thank you Vincent, we hope you will have a totally rad season! Any last words?
I want to say a huge thanks to “dwbtoftshit” ! And hope to see you at a lot of races.B I K E C H E C K

Vincent Molén is joining our team!
We are totally happy to present our new team member Vincent Molén and I want to start this presentation with a story that we will have in our hearts here at dwbtoftshit! forever!
Besides from results and hard cool tricks there are some moments in your riding and racing life that gets stuck with you for the rest of your life. One of these moments we have with Vincent during the Nordic championship in Helsinki, Finland 2016. Me, Dinny, had just rolled over the finish line in the cruiser finals and was walking up against our racing tent when I saw this kid, Vincent, standing by the fence with his bike crying. I went up to him because I thought he might need some comfort. I don’t remember the conversation, but I met his dad who told me that Vincent just won the Nordic Championship and that the tears were only pure happiness and a release due to nerves, all that training and focus he had built up to this race.
It’s hard to get this moment in to text, but for me, this was like getting a flash back from all my goals, achievements and obstacles during my younger years. I stood there for a while my whole body started to shake and my eyes turning into a river. With tears in my eyes, I walked away against our tent with a feeling that I never will forget and with a reminder of what it’s all about, passion! This story is why we think Vincent is a perfect rider in our team. No matter what result or achievement he will have during his coming season he always will have his passion with him and that is something we values more than winning races.
Aside from this story Vincents is a 13 year old bmx racing rider with great style and awesome flow and he is already doing races with his bike around the European Bmx Racing tracks. He might look harmless but out on the tracks he’s going all in, for the win. We think it’s so rad to have Vincent on board and we are looking forward to watch him progress into the higher classes of Bmx Racing.
Keep up the good work and welcome to us Vincent!
Today we released our new 2019 riding collection: The Game Change Collection – Version 1.0
After 1 1/2 years of work we are today presenting our new riding collection for 2019, The Game Changer Collection. As with our previous collection all our garments are drawn and tailored by us and this way we can present something that we are proud of. The Game Changer was born through punk and hip hop and with a mindset of ”I did it my way” and we decided that this will be a living collection that we will continue to develop so this is Version 1.0.
We wanted a riding jersey that reflects freedom, away from all the traditional thinking when it comes to mx jersey and a pair of riding pants that a parkour or free runner could wear without any problem. With influences from the American motocross and bmx scene we merged the design of a mx jersey with a basketball tank top, all in one-piece. One cool detail is that the mx jersey can be changed into a basketball tank top if you cut off the arms and collar of the jersey. This makes the jersey perfect for saving our planet by reuse and recycling. Lets face it, a problem many riders have after a hard crash is that the scratch their arms on the jersey. Now, instead of throwing the jersey away you can just cut off the arms and collar of the jersey and bam, you have an awesome basketball tank top to wear at the summer party. We also made a pair of rad stretchable motocross pants that we chose to call Stretchy, with these mx pants you can add some extra movement during your air time. To match the jersey and the pants we have also made a pair of new all black mx gloves that are based on our previous model, but now with even more strength. Check out the movie below to see the pieces in action.
Kick-starting this year with some news and Bmx Racing
It is time to kickstart 2018 by announcing that in the next couple of months we will finally release a new collection of riding gear. In the meantime, don’t miss out to watch the live stream from EC BMX EUROPEAN CUP Rounds 1 & 2 in Verona this weekend.
Here you can follow our team mate Silje Rubæk in her first race of the year! We raise our hands and wish all our Bmx racing friends a big good luck down there! 👊🏻
Silje Rubæk 4th in the World Championship 2017 of Bmx Racing down in Rock Hill, USA!
Yeah, we just got the news that Silje got the 4th place in the world Championship down in Rock Hill, USA! At the moment some of us are riding street and race down in Aalborg, Denmark but now we stopped this and doing some crazy dancing moves instead infront of the laptop. It’s so freaking cool to see Siljes fighting spirit. Even though she had some pain a couple of weeks ago she fights, recover, train and get back on the bike doing what she loves! On here facebook she wrote that riding down there on the tracks in USA and get such results was an awesome experience and yes, that must be a total blast!
Thank you for being with us at dwbtoftshit! Silje and congratulation on this rad ride! We are looking forward to hook you up with our new racing collection for 2018 when it’s done! In the meantime we hope you and your rad family keep have an awesome bmx life down in the states

Two champions in two countries on the same day Bmx Racing!
At the moment we are out riding around the world and the team is doing awesome results! Some weeks ago our two team mates Oskar and Silje both rode their nations championship on the same day but in different countries. Oskar, who rode the Swedish Championship and had a great day and can now call himself a Swedish Champion in Bmx Racing 2017, great job Oskar! On the other side of the water our Danish team rider Silje also had an awesome day at the track. She won her races and claimed the Danish Champion 2017 title in Bmx racing… Rad stuff!
European cup in Norway!
Hey guys!
I’ts been 4 days since I raced the european cup in Norway for the national team so I thought it was time for a little update. I was pretty happy with my riding overall but there are some areas I need to improve on. The first heat started with a crash (photo on top) but after that everything worked out pretty well for me. After 2 good heats I qualified for the semi final. But it was really tough, with a lot of tight racing I ended up with a 6th spot so unfortunately no final. But I was still satisfied with my riding which is the most important thing for me. Moving on to the next day I was prepared and was aiming for the final. With 3 solid laps I qualified for the semi. This time I didnt have a good gate so I knew I had to race smart to pass the guys in front of me. I hesitated to much in the corners which made me loose the final spot… I have taken a lot of good stuff with me from this weekend but most importantly I know what I need to work on. Its now 1 and a half week until the Swedish championship and this is my year to take the gold. Im now training and improving more than ever to be as prepared as possible for the upcoming races.
