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'
Some small upgrades to the park before Lucia: -Build a new curb on the "two-level-box" -Build a small steep bank on the skate/street area -Fixed the curb on the skate/street area -Made a small transition on the far right on the china bank -Welded a new "flat-down" rail (will be located by the eurogap) +alot of small stuff, fixed some broken ribs, and added some ply
Rode some skateboard and bikes by myself the other day. 'Gelic was on hand and filmed 3 clips, I'm pretty happy with what I've got so far but I have still got a couple of clips I want to film.
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...
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!
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!
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.
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!
Lots of "UK news" right now ;) Here's the add that's been running in Ride UK magazine (yeah a REAL magazine made of papers that are stapled together) :)
