Being nervous was foolish. The camp was exactly what I needed. Camp was a camp, in the denotation what camp means to me. We ate together, we slept in same place and of course we trained together. What is the most important is that the coaching was high-quality. Not the same repetition as always on the camps.. not that same shit at all. I liked Marc's coaching back in the time when he lived in Finland, but I can tell that he had made a big progress on being a coach. He has gone thru the UCI coaching.. thru lever 4 if I remember right, and also the British cycling coaching. And there is no way to go around it that it just matters if the coach or instructor has being trained for what (s)he is doing. I give points for Marc about the workmanship as a BMX coach and also the able to handle group training. (It is different thing to coach 1 on 1 or a group). And I'm picky when it comes to coaching, so if someone gets points from me (s)he really needs to know how to coach.

What was the cost for this? One week, or more likely 5 days, cost 300euros. Including accommodation on mattress, food (so much food that I couldn't even eat extra ice creams), and coaching. Days were filled with quality training. And the training group was top dudes, everyone in the group took a place in my heart. It's kinda plaintive to be home alone right now. <3

What did I learn? Well, I'm a little timid to speculate about this. But I do feel like I'm ready to go to Colombia for World Champs 2016! I got lots of exercises that I need to keep on training. I got the first straights sorted out (was really good to go thru the 1st straight piece by piece. There is about 9-15 pieces on one straight). I got manual on bigger obstacles than normally. I got confidence on jumping (the riding position makes a big difference). We trained on track, techniques off the track, had recover rides, TRX for muscle workout, sprints.. everything. Most important is that I got the what I had; more speed! That's what BMX is about! :) I'm really happy (that's what the life is about..) 

And I also got to train the supercross starthill. It was wicked. For a first time I got some pedals in going down... I didn't jump the first but it doesn't feel impossible anymore! And by the way, that's the only 8m starthill we have in Spain. And I recon there is not that many big tracks like this anyways.

Couple months ago, while I were visiting Finland, I got a tattoo :) It's wonderful <3 It was made by Suvi Alalantela, in Custom-X Tattoo, Lahti. I have always being little wooden about taking tattoo. I just couldn't get bother to put myself in to the position where I need to justify my tattoos.. And of course I'm little worry if the tattoo will come out as a disaster. Luckily, that didn't happen! This tattoo is made for me to remind myself that I'm from Finland. It's also made to remind me what incredible and unique nature we have in Finland and the fact that we need to protect and preserve it! And if someone does think the basic question: but what about when you are 50 years old... Well, if I'm ashamed of the ringed seal tattooed in my arm by the time I'm 50 years old, I can tell you that I'm happy to make myself to be ashamed. This ringed seal can be only found in Finland. There is only about 300 of them left and when I'm 50, who knows if the whole specie has extinction.. and if not, I can always tell stories how mankind has being so stupid that they almost got these seals killed.

This tattoo is made to be for ever; I will be forever born and raised in Finland, shall this seals be live forever too <3
