I was just telling in Finnish that I will be riding for different cycling club the next season. They have made me fell super welcoming. Here is the story of me they wrote in the club's magazine. This story is good. Some of the stories I have ridden about myself and it has sounded like they would be talking about some totally different person. Not me at all.. It's just that the person writing the story can point out what ever they want and write it thru their own thougts. But not dramatically wrong has happened! This one is one of those which makes me super happy!! It's in Finnish tho. Telling about me and how I started BMX, what I'm gonna do to get the sport to became bigger etc..

Here is few old photos. The otherone is from my hometown when I visited school and told them about BMX racing and the other is from city next to our capital city. Kids had art class so we draw BMX tracks. One 8 years old kid designed BMX track where you need to jump over water!! What a great imigination!

As far as I can remember I just had my first bday without added sugar. I'm pretty confident to say that if I would have eaten basic sweets that would have cause me a trouble. During my sugar free month I have failed couple times, unpurposed tho. I have went to smoothie bar and asked them if there is any added sugar in the drink. If they say there is not I allow myself to have one. Few times I have tasted it that there is sugar but still I have finished my drink. I have learned to quiz them how they make the drinks. Sometimes the answer is: no we don't add there sugar, we just mix the powders with the ice (so there is no fruits, no berries, and 100% sure there is sugar in those powders). It feels like people are not so aware of nutrition matters over here, meaning they don't really know what added sugar means.

This is still kinda fighting, but nothing like it used to be. Of course I wanna eat yammu things. I'm really enjoying forexamble my own smoothies and pure fruits. We had little frozen yogurt factore at home with boys. We made unsweetend and sweetend with natvia (all natural sweetener). Those fro-yos became so good! Peach was my favorite, and then blueberry and mango. Pear was pretty poor, to tell the truth. Only mango worked out good without sweetener.

I have been kinda sick for last couple of days. I started a new project just to have something to do (what a bad excuse, I'm doing this coz I'm so excited about it). I'm trying to collect all the BMX tracks in the world on Google Mapsiin. I have been in the heaven for all the tracks I have found and for all the different ways they are building them. When you are planning your next summer, go and see the tracks what you can find from Baltics and Scandinavia. Also New Zealand is ready.. I shouldn't say ready when no-one local has check it yet. Need to find people to check every country!

The most fun was Paraparaumu and Wainuiomata. Some tracks supriced me by looking like much fun but simple things like riding uphill or jumps too close after turns made the whole track bad.

Things like different sizes of jumps and good clrear rhytm made track to me good. Also good idea of having different sized table top on every straight! Wanna go back to ride...

One night someone was driving around my car so that the rocks were flying from his tires. The third time he came back I stand out from the car and screamed: hey dudes, you just cut that off, don't have anything better to do? And it was a policemen!! Thank god he was imberessed and kindly remind me to lock my doors. If that would have happen in the USA I would have got one more ticket to court house and probably few nights to sleep inside.

On the top of this all I just got the information that the races has been cancelled for this weekend because there should be tornado type storm coming. So kinda happy that they decided to cancel it. Now I'm going home!

The other thing what tells me that I'm getting old is that when I had a day off, I was adviced to go to shop around in Wellington. But I went to forest and picked up some blackberries. The best berries are always in the middle of the bush. Ones you reach there you already have 4 spikes deep inside your leg. Then you need to pull your hand out and the whole bush seems to come with it just by hanging from your skin :)

Down below are the photos: Basic view on the road and my shower if the swimming pools are already closed. Sometimes it was even too dark to go to river. This is leaving my dream what includes some deep breathing every day. The icing doesn't really tell how the cake is gonna be like.

Friend borrowed me a mattres, other friend let me use her sleeping bag, third gave box of kitchen ware with me. I packed my bike and gear to trunk. My new home was ready. Heading to south! Well, here south means cold, but still heading to new tracks. I have already slept two nights in the car, coz first night I stayed nicely indoors by home od friend's friend. Their 9 years old son had these huge dirt jumps on their bag yard. I couldn't believe that small boy can jump them, but I heard it's easy as.

Sleeping in the car has been inspiring. I can stop where ever I want and I have my whole life with me. Sometimes it's kinda challenging too. Last night I drove the smallest rode on the way to national park. There was simply no space to park car. By driving 20km I seriously beeline only 5km. Road was plain 90 degrees turn. Finally I found the gate to the park and parked there. After brushing my theet I lift the bike to front seat. At the same time I heard someone walking really near. More than one going on tip toes. What the f**k? I had my other feet inside the car ready to jump in when I regognize that those were cows. They had woke up when I came and now they were trying to push down the fence. I moved my car little farther from the pasture. That would have made good clip for funniest home videos :D

Each track I have rode this far has been different and fashinating! ”Failures” on the track designs are pretty obvious. It's interesting how they still do simple mistakes like that in the country were the BMX has been for ages. The main point is still that my riding is getting on really well and it is super fun! (I try to make some assemblage of the tracks later)

I stayed up in Auckland after we had racing here last weekend. It's refreshing to be some where else than in stinky Rotorua. The city seriously smells because the whole are is on volcanic ground. Anyways, today I had great riding on the local track. I had photographer taking shots for 1,5hours :) It was nice to notice what the camera makes you to do. At the same time it was relaxing. Once you didn't have to think about how to make progress, I was just asked to do my best!

From the race last weekend I wanted to share one thing with you. Usually in race meets there is age groups and then there is Super-class. Super-class means the class with price money. Forexamble there is 400$ for price money and all the sign-up fees (30$) are added on the top of that. The price money will be devided between everyone who made the main. The last gets about 15% of that what the winner gets. I like that system :)

And for the cherry on top I got to show you some photos of the house where I have been stayed. The main idea is that here 3 empty bedrooms for guests. Every bedroom has it own bathroom. Garage for two car and own room for the bikes. Solarium, Porsche.. The 10-years-old boy, who is 3 times World Champ on his own age, goes tomorrow to USA to train with his dad. After that the whole family is going for vacation at Bali.. One style of living..

The photos can be found on blog in Finnish.
