Olle at Lucia Jam!

Olle rode awesome at the jam and ended up taking 2nd place! Not bad
for his first ever bmx-comp. Highlights includes a nose bonk to barspin
transfer, footjam tailwhip to fakie over the spine and just riding awesome
with really hard tricks in lines. Congrats bro'

Olle in Sundsvall

Olle and Niclas took a trip down to Sundsvall yesterday, and as expected
Olle ripped and gathered a whole slew of clips for the mixtape. He also
had a brand new bike and got the new 2011 Mito stem and Gelic sprocket
so expect a bikecheck shortly...

2011 products!

Just received two big boxes with the 2011 "Mito" stem and
"Gelic" sprocket in black ... and red, yes you read that
right we will actually have some colored products from
now on. We're stoked!

I've not had the time to shot any real photos of them yet
but since I was so excited I shot these "teaser" shots
on my kitchen table about 5 seconds after ripping the
boxes open!

Full info, real product pictures and an updated products
section coming within a couple of days
, but for now enjoy
the quick snap shots and hopefully you'll like the stem and
sprockets as much as we do!

Barspin madness!

Me, Mäkinen, Angelica, Elina and our dog Mito had a small session
in the park today! I did some fun opposite barspin combos (just learned
to through with my left hand) witch is unusual for me to say the least!

Mäkinen was amused by my goon-riding and rode really good himself.
'Gelic filmed a clip for me (thank's) see the frame grab below!

Random update!

My computer's been down for a couple of days, today I finally got it up
and running again!

Lately we've had some good sessions in Drakstaden, we've started planning
the "Lucia Jam" (10-12 december) and I've worked on the 2011 product-line.

I've also made some small changes to the homepage, nothing to big but small
stuff that annoyed me.

Also started working on the first trailer for the Drakstaden Mixtape, mostly
to get to know Premiere cs5 and the HDSLR footage of witch I've never worked
with before.
The mixtape is not exactly a serious project, but something fun for all the
local riders here in Sundsvall. Don't expect flashy editing or banger footage
it'll be some sweet chill riding and basic straight forward cutting to
rock n' roll music, just the way I like BMX-videos!

Drakstaden Mixtape: Mike's on it!

Lars comeback!?

If you're from Sweden and was into bmx around 2002-2005 or so you should know
about the "wonder kid" from sundsvall Lars Sjöholm, well Lars pretty much
stopped riding for a couple of years but made a comeback last week (actually
clocking some footage for the Drakstaden Mixtape we're working on!).


Let's hope it lasts for avail, Sweden needs more wallride's and brake tricks ;)

Her's his old odenbikes web edit (almost entirely filmed on one "comeback session"
sometime in 2007)! Enjoy!

Umeå trip

Took a trip by myself to Umeå last weekend to visit my friends Jens (thank you
for letting me stay with you and Sandra) Lill-David and Niklas. I took
my trusty Canon 550 d with me to film and take some pictures but ended up
riding the whole time instead. Had a great time and it was a great way to
end the outdoor season.

Was cruising bikeguide (probably the best BMX forum on the Internet) and found this
bikecheck from a bikeguide-member called "Marrokino". He's from Portugal
and rocking a 2010 Fortytwo stem and bars. Sweet! For full bikecheck with
parts list go here.

More 550d handle!

The handle was featured on cheesycam.com one of the largest diy

My 550D, t2i rig / handle

Looking around for a good rig/handle for my 550d (T2i in the US) HDSLR I
found them to be way overpriced and not suitable for extreme sports.
I wanted something for filming low angles when using the fish eye in
lines and static shots!

This is what I came up, call it the Fortytwobmx prototype 550d extreme
sports handle ;), using stuff I had laying around (a small square
tube, an old bmx-handlebar, a couple of grips, some old bar ends and a
quick release plate from a cheap tripod)!

We just started filming for a "Drakstaden mixtape" with this rig!

Enjoy!

Great session!

Just had this awesome session with the boys (Simon, Albert, Mike and KC) down
at Drakstaden! Simon did so much good stuff. I had the camera with me and Simon
more or less filmed half a section tonight. Mid-session his chain broke but that
only led to filming a couple of "chainless" lines (lots of fakie manual style
tricks)!

Apart for Simons slaying of everything, I think all of us learned some new moves
today!

Drakstaden update!

There will be lots of Drakstaden updates this month, reason being
both me (mike) and Simon are involved in designing and building the
park!

We're totally re-designing the "bmx-side"! We've added everything from
street boxes to a rythm section to a new step-up style jump box; pretty
much the only thing we haven't changed is the street-spine!

We're also working on a foampit with I'm sure would be a hit with the kidz!

Update's and photo's next week!
