I haven't being at the track for a week. NIce? Nah, sometimes u can rest ofcourse.. specially while I'm still little bit sick. On the other hand if I wouldn have been in Helsinki I guess I would have been on the track every day. Strider things cause some work for me as well as my niece. Her story of cycling is shown in photos on Strider website :) I'm laughing already, when yesterday I could have cry over this.
Today I got back on bike. Mostly because of that my niece. She asked me if we could ride bikes together. Ofcourse I wanted to ride too.
I had "fix" my cruiser and manage to make it work as fixwed-gear. All the time when bike is moving the cranks are turning, so when you pedal backwards the bike moves also backwards.
My 20 inch bike had been just waiting to get a new tube. I had got flat tire and someone once told me that you are not supposed to fix punctures, you are supposed to change the tube. I couldn't find 2+ x 1.6 tube from my hometown so had to give up.
Finally I got to ride my bike. I decided to start to work on flat manuals. My niece where training to ride Strider and see how she can go without touching a ground and my job was to see how long I can hold front wheel up.

One boy who has being in UCI BMX coaching course told me that they were told to teach manual with straight arms. It's funny how that changes the who movement. It used to be nearly whole body movement tearing back. When straight arms makes it to be more likely wave backwards. Also straightening (and bendin) legs are way more important when your arms are straight. Really much fun. I wanna learn that!!!
At the end of the day I went for Bday party to celebrate our neighbours turning 70. There I talk with one lady about BMX with skis, for downhill I mean. I sure that would be super cool! Girl told me that you can order those skis from Sweden. After all the best thing in this conversation is to see that we have BMX girls all over the country. We just have to get them to the track. Riding by yourself is pretty lame yea?
