Hey guys! Oskar here, I just got home from a 3 day competition called Succe Cup in Norway. I just wanted to update you guys of how Its been going for me these days. Something new for me this time was that I was riding for the Swedish national team and staying at a hotel with them. That’s the reason to why I’m wearing the national team jersey instead of my dwbtoftshit jersey. The first race was at Moss bmx track. Its a technical and pretty narrow track but I like tracks like that. I got 1/2/2 in my motos and we were 22 guys in my age division so I qualified for semifinals where I got 2nd after a good rider from Moss. In the final I got lane #1 which was an advantage for me. I had a decent first straight and was 4th into the first corner and held that position all the way to the line. Im pretty happy with that as it was many great riders in my age. The next race was at Gressvik which is a really fun track to ride. I got 2nd in all of my motos and I was saving myself a bit for the semi and final. I qualified for the finals with a 3rd spot in the semis. I got a bad start in the final but managed to get from 7th to 3rd in the first corner with very tight racing and one rider crashing right in front of me. I was pretty stoked with a 3rd place. With one more race day coming up I was a bit tired and my body was sore, but managed to get 4th in the main event this time too, unfortunately one rider crashed in front of me at the 3rd straight and I rode right over his bike and unclipped from my pedal, which made me loose my 3rd spot that I had for a moment. It’s been a weekend with a lot of awesomeness and I’m taking some good stuff with me but also some things I need to work on for the upcoming races in Märsta and for the Euro rounds in Sviland. Have a great one! /Oskar

It’s Friday and we just posted a video of Oskar when he was riding a moto down in Spain!
What’s better than hanging around on youtube after a week filled with training and riding! As you know our team rider Oskar was down in Spain for some riding and training and we have got a hold on a video from one of the Bmx racing motos in Mazzaron, Spain! Nice riding as always Oskar!
Oskar crashed hard during practice
About two weeks ago our ambassador Oskar made a hard crash on the track in Kungsbacka. Unfortunately, he broke his collarbone and have to rest from his precious bike a couple of weeks.
He felt a bit down but we are not worried at all. With his skills and flow, he will be hitting the tracks as normal as soon as he’s back on the bike!
This weekend you can see Silje ride in the first UEC European Cup in Zolder!
We are all set to go and our team is out on the tracks doing their things! Yesterday our teammate Silje Rubæk took the flight down to Zolder for the first UEC European Cup in Bmx Racing. This is the first race of the year for Silje and with 1400 riders from 30 countries she sure will have some great racing ahead!
Back here we will fill up our storage of popcorn, start the live stream and cheer for Silje and all our other friends that are down there! Riders ready, watch the gate….
You can follow the live stream here or direct on youtube!

Meet our newest team ambassador Silje Rubæk!
After a winter filled with training and product development, we are over our head of joy to introduce our newest team ambassador, Silje Rubæk! We have been watching her riding a long time and her lifestyle and personality is a perfect match to dwbtoftshit!
Silje is a 33-year-old Danish Bmx Racing rider based in Roskilde with her two kids and husband Jesper (also an awesome rider). They are a true hardcore Bmx family, you know the ones with their bikes in the living room. When we drove down to Silje for a hangout and clothing delivery we got a pleasant welcoming. When we stepped inside her house the smell of fresh new tires & tubes hit us right in the face (this from a newly arrived box filled with Bmx stuff). If you ones have smelled this you know what we’re talking about, a better welcoming is hard to get, thank you!
Silje is racing in the 24″ cruiser class and is progressing for each year. She’s a person that puts a lot of efforts in her training and are not afraid to put in the extra laps needed to reach the goals she has set up for herself. For about 1 year ago Silje had an accident with her Bmx bike during a practice and ended up with two fractures in vertebrae 4 and 5. Luckily the fractures were stable and could get back on the bike immediately as long as she didn’t jump and of cause with a lot of pain. One week later she won the Danish Championship and two weeks after this she got a 5th place in the European Championship.
As you can read Silje has a huge passion, determination and love for her sport. When not racing she’s also involved in the Bmx training for the younger kids, including her own in Roskilde. When you meet her, she not late to give you a smile and if you watch her ride you will sometimes even see the smile under the helmet. At the Bmx Racing indoor track in Roskilde, we watched one of Siljes kids ride and singing at the same time, we can’t stop imagine if Silje also does this while training? Maybe this is why the danish riders are so awesomely successful…
This weekend Silje will travel down to Italy for a training camp at the Bmx Olympic arena in Verona! Here she will warm up, train and get ready for the first UEC European Cup in Zolder, Belgium. We are so excited to hear all about it later and wishing her a warm and great weekend.
Anywho, we are so honored that Silje wanted to join us and our team and we are looking forward to continue seeing her ride, smiling and taking holeshots around the world in the name of dwbtoftshit! Welcome to us Silje Rubæk!
