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.
Succé Cup 2017
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!
My 2 weeks in Spain!
Hey guys!
As some of you may know I’m Oskar Kindblom, one of the ambassadors in team dwbtoftshit. We have recently made it possible for me to blog on an own section of this website. So I think it’s time for me to update you guys of what has been going on for me these past 2 weeks.So roughly 2 weeks ago I left Sweden for a bmx-camp in Spain. At the moment I’m back in Sweden, and I thought why not let you guys know a bit about how the trip went and how it has changed my mindset for the upcoming season. This trip was one of the best trips of my life. It has made me learn a hole lot of new things and motivated me to train even harder to become the best.
I arrived at the night on a Wednesday. I had 2 days to get to know the bike and the tracks before the first race in El Campello. One of the best parts of racing in new competitions in Spain is that you don’t know any of the other riders you are racing. It makes it much more exciting.
The track felt really good and I was mentally prepared. I got 1st in all of my motos, 1st in the semifinal and 2nd in the final after a great german rider. Second day I won all the motos as the day before, had a bad semifinal with a fourth place but still managed to qualify for the final. I got 3rd in the final this time with 2 guys from Germany in front of me. I was very excited with my results that weekend because the competition was tough.
Now I had 5 days of training before we were going to Mazzaron for the second race-weekend. We were at San Vicente, El Campello a couple of times, we also got a workout at Costa Blanca’s cross fit. The other Swedish guys arrived at the Thursday. We then went to Mazzaron together on the Friday. We got some training in at the track in the evening.
There were a lot of people from different countries there. For example the Dutch teams, the French, Austrian, Danish, Norwegians and Germans. It turned out to be a lot of great riders. This time I got 1:st in all the motos. 2nd in the semi and 4th in the final. Second day I got the same results but this time there were one more great rider in our age division, (Bart van Bemmelen). But totally with all of my points from the motos etc, I got the overall 3rd place that weekend. I was really happy with both my results and my riding.
After this weekend I had 3 days of training left before I was going home to Sweden. We were riding at San Vicente, Elche, Campello and the new pumptrack built by Marc Killian. I’m overall extremely excited with how the trip turned out and I look forward until the next trip!
I also managed to make an edit from these weeks. Check it out!
Träningsläger i Hal11, Roskilde
Förra helgen var delar av teamet, bland annat Oskar, nere i Danmark och körde träningsläger på Roskilde Bmx inomhusbana Hal11. Vi var ca 10 svenskar som körde träning tillsammans med ett tiotal danska åkare och det blev två riktigt kul dagar med hård träning på en tight och utmannande liten bana. Träningen ledes av två danska tränare med bra meriter, Jesper Juel Rubæk Simonsen och Jack Funder Christensen. Vi får se till att bygga en sådan här Bmx racing hall i Sverige snart!
Tack till Oskar Lindberg och Denis Leimberg för att ni styrde upp!
Training camp in Hall11, Roskilde!
Last weekend a part of the dwbtoftshit! where down in Denmark and had a training camp at Roskilde BMX indoor track Hal11. We were about 10 Swedes along with a dozen Danish riders that had two days of really fun and hard training on this tight and challenging little track. The training was led the by two Danish coaches, Jesper Juel Rubaek Simonsen and Jack Funder Christensen. We have to build something similar Bmx racing track here in Sweden soon!
Thanks to the Oskar Lindberg and Denis Leimberg who made this happend!
