Here's some pictures starting from the top of the old dirt line:

And some more stuff:

And here's the new dirt:

Jump one
Jump two
Jump three looks like number two.

As you can see, there's lots of shaping work left, but it will be devilistly awesome when it's done.

I´ve been hanging out in our bike park this week, not with my bike, but with my new friend. As you may not know, there was several dump trucks dumping some dirt at the bike park last weeks. We have adjusted some old stuff to make it more rideable. One of the biggest changes is a new step down instead of a little "table top jump" (or something). Today we started on a brand new dirt line with three jumps in a row (only two at this point), and it´s almost done already :), except many hours of shaping, doh!
Thats it for now.

The summer is in full bloom, which obviously means that we've been hitting the Bikepark. The first couple of days Henrik and I did all of the riding, while Niclas was manning the cameras. Then I messed up my knee again, so I had to grab a camera as well. Fortunately, Niclas felt that his hip was up for some riding, so I had some more stuff to shoot. We're all super stoked that he is back in the saddle!

Beside random riding action, the follow has been going down;
Henrik has been practicing his poses, a lot, really..
His vanity was punished by the flatty gods.

I'm just going to shell out some random pictorials now, keep working on your tannage kids!

Invertion!
Racer boy 1, Racer boy 2.
Whippage, twice for good measure.
Send more pants!
First you have to walk, then you can play.
Gear check, and some other gear as well.
These are fun! So is walking apparently?
Niclas hip now allows him to walk up tzee hill.
Hiding from some rain.
Admiring Henrik.

I've been feeling bad about the quality (or lack there of) of the pictorials we've been putting up on the blog lately. So I went ahead and got some better equipment.
To try it out, Henrik and I went to the local trail and raced around. The trail is pretty sweet, it's got roots and some nice and speedy open sections. The only problem is that you have to walk up, which makes Henrik a tired biker :(.
The bottom section of the trail is in a narrow and dark part of the woods, which is a problem because Henrik's afraid of the dark. But he steeled himself, and I promised to use my flash to guide him. Bonus flash.

On another note, the clothing line is almost here, it's going to be schweet.


Aus!

Not a lot has been going down lately, at least not riding wise. We've been way too busy working on our yet to be released line of threads.

We've spent limited time in the bikepark, which by the way is nice and dry. Berglind and I made it out there once(!) before his previously mentioned injury. (Which by the way is healing nicely, but slowly.)

Besides not riding (yeah, working sucks), I've been out driving the Cooper. I found a sweet road and I thought I would kill some corners, but some Cows didn't agree.
Eat more iTEN Burgers people!

All for now.

This weekend Berglind and Henrik were out riding some downhill at Ekerö Bikepark, and Berglind had a little spill. He skid out and flew off his bike in a high-speed grass section, and managed to fall on the only rock in sight. This unfortunately cost him a fractured pinkie and a hip which is now i two pieces.
The Doc' says 6 weeks until he is bike-ready, Berglind said two..
Pics to come! Healing vibes for our boy!

Part two;
Please excuse my harsh lettering in the headline, but sometimes it's called for.
Some yokels have concluded that downhill apparently isn't a very dangerous sport (sweet!). Check out this article. There are some awesome parts, in Swedish though.

"Han berättar att de vanligaste orsakerna till skador vid downhill-åkning, enligt andra studier, är att man kört för fort och tappat kontrollen samt mekaniska haverier som att framgaffeln går av eller att man tappar framhjulet."

Basically, they've concluded that the most common reason for getting hurt while riding downhill is going too fast and losing control. -No shitnuts?!
Other common reasons are forks breaking in half, -really?

That's all for now kiddies.

During a day that seemed to be a nice day of riding, Henrik and I was at the new downhill course in Flottsbro. Many people had gathered to compete in the Swedish downhill cup. I was just there playing around in the course while Henrik was going a bit more focused in to every corner. When the competition started, I switched to camera-gear and spotted some nice shooting angles along the course.

Some riders were going really fast in the super dry course, but suddenly an evil dark cloud came by and turned the "super dry" into "wet", and made rocks and other stuff a little bit more slippery, but that didn´t stop the riders from going fast.

In the end, it had been a nice day and Henrik managed to get a second place in the sport class.

Head over to motionals and have a look at the race!

The boys were inspired by our sushi experience in the BigCity the other week, so we decided to make our own SushiFish! We also wanted to include some of the other stuff we had gotten in Zürich, so we made a sweet crab/avocado/cabbage salad. Then Henrik was put on deep frying duty, while Niclas and I focused on more classic stuff. When we had made loads of boring Maki rolls, and some Nigiri pieces (alot), I went freestyle!

Long story short, about four hours after we had started, it was time for dinner(23pm)! We had a pretty massive table set up, complete with Japanese beer. Unfortunately we had filled up on shrimp chips while we were cooking. Stupid.
But the Sushi was tasty anyway! (Too bad about the kitchen..)

So last night we were invited to some party at "The Clinic". Yup, sounds a bit sketchy, but hey! It turned out to be an old hospital that had been converted to apartments for seasoneeers. -Awesome. The bathrooms were fashionably decorated, much better than Swedish hospitals.
The party was divided on two floors, and the band went up and down in the elevator, two give everyone a good show. Niclas liked the band more than the DJs, while Henrik liked "the bar" the most. Speaking of tzee bar, it had a two for one special, so we got some backup beers. (Yeah yeah, bad plug for a sweet pictorial.)
After that, we borrowed some signage from the bathroom and caught a taxi for a 30 second ride home.
Great success!

Oh, please excuse the iPhone pictorials.

Okey guys, I have yet another new motional for you. It's sort of a compilation of the past couple of months. It's a bit more relaxed than my other stuff, I like it.
