I'm sitting in the empty appartment. Alone. World Champs are done. I have had almost two weeks full on BMX life. Others left the Europe to Usa and NZ. I'm still here. Ones again the life I wanna live is gone. BMX hasn't gone anywhere but the most important part of it has. Ensemble is broken. The people who I ride with, eat my breakfast with or freaking clean tire marks from floors are gone. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter what I do with those people. When I'm with them my life is whole. My life is perfect with them. I haven't lost myself, or at least it's not as bad as it sounds like. I just feel empty. Having a broken heart I guess.
There wasn't any big surprises with my races. Hadn't had much progress since last worlds, but that doesn't surprise me ether. In the first place I wasn't even supposed to be racing yet. So all good! In 20 inch class I were totally tourist. I didn't have no race feeling. I didn't even remember what were I supposed to feel like when I race. So I got out in motos. With cruiser I got myself in the right mood. I made it all the way to semifinals, until I wasn't good enough. Atleast not now when I haven't been able to train, ride, race.. nothing. Last time I had a good race was a year ago.
No excuses. I have gone from "why I'm even riding BMX?" to "how can I make myself to be in top 8?" I'm full on! I wanna do this. I wanna be in good shape and work hard. Do what ever it takes. I guess i got to move to live to somewhere for good so I can fully concentrate on BMX. Not to wonder where can I get a milk etc. Where is that I don't know? I need a coach, but who? Kari Ormo, my fitness coach I'm not gonna leave out. I need him too! Next season has took me over. I'm still on my way to Scandinavian Champs. After that I can start a new season. Can't wait. What an great experience this has been again! I wish everyone will push themselves to go for something like this.
The best thing from my racing was the mental strength I had (and these were the first worlds that I didn't crash even once). I was calm and didn't got tensed. I didn't shake at all on gate!! That was wonderful :) Huge thanks to New Zealanders who enable me to got this far! They treat me like their owns!! :) They covered me everything :)

p.s. We had also two more riders representing Finland; Minni and Kai. Minni raced in tough 20 inch class with me. Half of the riders had been riding elite earlier and just jumped back down to challenge. Minni had some bad luck and she crashed two times. She got out in motos. My opinion was that Kai raced nicely on his own level. He got 5th in every qualification rounds and only 4 goes on, so he got out. Extremely good riding from both of them and so happy we had more riders than only me!! Both of them are coming next year too. I would think it wouldn't be too hard to get Sciortino's boys to ride for Finland. And for cherry on top Martti is gonna ride Junior Elite next year!! This year Martti road for Italy and he got 4th in his cruiser class!!! Congratulations to him :)
