Fall has arrived and weekends are bliss. Especially when you get to ride bike parks with your kids. Arrival before opening hours gives you the opportunity to go though the gear and enjoy the excitement that’s in the air before everyone gets their highs down the trails Into the fog and up above is the […]

Can Every Weekend Be Like This Please?
Sometimes the stars just line up, don’t they? The guys are available, the weather is great and you’re on a high for two days! Meeting up at a trailhead in Delsjön, Göteborg We’ve got a fantastic friend and the best possible guide to Desjön you can get helping us out to find our way in […]
Björnerödspiggen, Sweden
Oh yes, it’s good being back at Björnerödspiggen. You can find several earlier posts from here but I just had to add another one. Short recap… we’re on the boarder to Norway, on the hiking trail Bohusleden. Views are great all the way from the peak at 222 meters down to sea level at Idefjorden […]
Flottsbro Bike Park, Sweden
This Bike park is in Huddinge, just outside Stockholm, and I guess one of Sweden’s oldest. It’s an old landfill with limited space around the ski slope itself. Given the limited space they have really made a great job shaping several trails. Both machine built ones and more DH/Enduro ones. From their homepage: Youngsters are […]
Spring Adventure
Spring is here with excellent weather for a longer ride together. And in this case, just to be clear… “Longer” is referring to duration rather than distance 🙂 . Ingemar is the notorious guide on these rides and the rest of the crew is myself, Fredrik, Daniel and Kristian It seems exhausting being a faul… […]
The Orbea Occam – My New Tool
Something new was needed. The good old Cube Stereo had served its purpose. My first carbon bike and first 29er too, but after five seasons of hard riding it was time not only for a new bike, but for trying something new in terms of Geometry. Honestly it wasn’t an easy decision, going for the […]
Hidden vale & Gap Creek, Australia
Last travel before Covid-19 paralyzed the world… Back in Brisbane for work but staying over the weekend. This time I got myself a demo bike from what is probably the best bike store in Brisbane: “For the riders”. The only demo in XL was a Giant Trance 29’er. A bit too XC for me with […]
Back in Romania – a road trip
It’s been a long time since the good old travel case has been used. Packing your bike is normally a fantastic feeling – thinking of the great time with friends and mountains that lay ahead of you. This time though, it was with mixed feelings. The heat wave was announced to be replaced by very […]
City cruise – shanghai, China
The stars were aligned… It’s so easy getting from the boring hotel in a tech area to some more interesting areas by using the bike/moped lanes. Well organized, clean and silent as all twowheelers are electric: I reach the river and get a view across to Pudong The area has been transformed from a port […]
Park life – Vallåsen Bike Park, Sweden
Vallåsen bike park (Link – Swedish only) has been around for a long time but has managed to transform from the old school very technical trails only, to a more modern bike park that also offers machine built trails and rental bikes. It’s a short drive and the boys have been begging for it since […]
