summing up the last couple of days...
Had a pretty wicked weekend with sunshine, motocross & a full day of downhill.
Saturday i went for a mx-session wich was pretty fun but i got pretty tired since i havent been riding much moto lately. Then i went for a pretty tough run after that so my bedtime was 10 ó clock!
Sunday i rode downhill prettymuch all day. Did some timed runs at flottsbro & had a great time riding at Haga wich is a small hill close to stcokholm city.
Spent the rest of my sunday cleaning up the mess from saturdays mx-riding & prettymuch again went to bed earlie.
Today i had a day off from training so i have been working a bit at W-racing & figuring out some other stuff. Also had a spin on the bmx at our local pumptrack at the afternoon. Thats prettymuch it i feel like i´m just sitting around waiting to get to go to Maribor and kick off the "real" season.

Va händer för skit då?
Life back home…
I know i don´t realy write anything here when i´m back home but it´s just not as fun to tell people what i´m doing in the cold part of the world i guess..
Well been home for a week & a half wich has been pretty packed with stuff. Last week didn´t start out very good.
We had to take away our dog wich felt like taking away a part of the family. He had it coming for a while so it wasn´t such a big surprise but he´s been around for 14 years so it feels pretty empty.
Other then that i have been training quite a bit with Niklas. Been riding road & xc-mostly but had 2 mx-sessions, a bit of bmx & rode downhill one afternoon.
Everytime i get on the downhillbike now i tend to smile it´s pretty awesome.
Been painting & renovating my new home for a couple of days aswell wich is not to great together with training but it works!
Today it´s sunshine & blue skies so i´m off for a roadride!
Might have some video-material after the weekend!
Stay tuned!

Update
Havent updated for a bit on what iḿ up to so here is some news...
Went back home for a week & a half rode: the new bike a bit, one mx-session, road & a bit of xc in the snow.
Family is moving out of stockholm so there is a bit to do on that part also...more news on that soon...
Well on friday i flew out to Lyon-France to have a couple of days with the team for shooting photos/film & tuning in the new bikes!
Arrived on schedule on friday, Stephané picked me up & we went to the camping where we were staying for the weekend.
Stephané had a lot of new gear for us from POC so that was good & a bit like x-mas-time!
Saturday we went to a racecourse real close took a bunch of good shoots & got some good video-clips in & good riding.
Pretty sick to be riding in 20 degrees & sunshine!! I appreciated it a lot after a bit of time back home!
Sunday we went to a different place to ride, more freeride-stuff with jumps & a big quarry to play around in. Good fun.
On sunday Fred, Thomas & Alex showed up to prepare our bikes & for testing.'
They spent the whole day together with Simon trying different stuff for the suspension while we were taking photos.
After 2 days of riding, shooting/walking both me & Mitch were pretty tired when we rocked up monday morning for our testing session with them.
Well i can only say it was also a long day (think we did atlest 10 runs) but we got what we came for. I feel pretty confídent on the bike now & since everything about rockshox is new to me it was super-good to be able to have a test like this.
Infact everything about my bike is different to last year. I even have different geometry on the frame wich is about the only part that would be the same...but it suits me a lot better!
The track we rode on monday was pretty cool aswell. The end of it was pretty steep & fast with good turns. I liked it!
This morning we went to a place with jumps & some small tracks and played around there for a bit before we headed to the airport.
So now iḿ on route back to Sweden, haven had a shower so i feel sorry for the one who is sitting next to me on the plane.
I will be back home until Maribor now doing a bit of training and hopefully a bit of downhill aswell. All i know is i think we will be pretty well prepared for the season.
Feeling tired after a few hectic days so i will sleep well on the flight back!
Pictures & videos will be up soon!
