Went to ride at x fest this last weekend! been riding it 2 years ago already
and it has always been alot of fun! unfortunately i could not make it last
year since camp larsmo was arranged at the same day, but this year i was back,
and as i said before, alot of fun!! x fest is arranged by freerideshop.fi, and
the man behind that is markku talvitie! he is also selling electric googles, so
if you are searching for some cool new goggles or sunglasses, check the web store
he hasonline!



we arrived to x fest already on friday, some of the boys were riding already!
they had the ramp at 18meters, and i hit it straight after taking some laps on
the motocross track, pretty ok setup but the landing was way to sharp at the top
so i parked my bike to make it smoother, now its good! we rode 2 shows during saturday
and there was 1000 people coming over to watch us ride, sweet! everyone rode good
and its nice to see there are new talents in finland on the fmx scene! progressing
fast, cool! later that day i found myself in 2 newspapers doing a doublegrab, and
some pretty sweet article about fmx and what was up in lapua that day! the papers
were pohjalainen and ilkka, both papers are coming out to a couple of thousands of
people all over finland! good for the sport, and sponsors!



sepy was there flipping longdistance also, and the people loved it! was a perfect
combination to our jamsession! allu from vaasa did some really good bartricks! dead
bodies and cordovas! Jp was floating besides his bike in true sidewinder style!!



all in all it was a good day of riding, and im sure everyone thinks the same! here
below are some photos from the event! also the mainphoto is from this event.


thanks markku and everyone, and yeah, the afterparty was really good also!!
and yeah the fiddy guys rode super like always, david tried a huge 360, but bounced
off, im sure he woulda made it otherwise! sick air from the 7m radius ramp!!



my ramp is still there, so i figured i would go and ride there someday!? would be nice.

First of i want to thank all the riders who came over to ride at the event!
Without you all it would not been possible to make this happen! and for the
second i want to thank all the guys in the babylip crew! Joni Sundvik, Gustav
Granroth, Björn Sandler, Jonny Fagerudd, Sebastian Pasell and Masa! thanks guys!!


I also want to thank the soundguys & Minna and Ronnie for the sweet tunes!


also a big thanks to the people at tobaks for letting us ride there! and all the
other ones who helped us out, the security people, Linda Nylund and My whole sweet family!
THANKS !!

OK, so what really happened? yeah i will tell you right here!
the preperations for this event started months back for me, but it was about a week before
the event, Mr rickard Rättö arrived to Jakobstad to hang out with me for a while, and ride.
we rode a couple of days, but it was pretty stressful somedays, so we tried to arrange for
the event instead!



In the beginning of the week it was time to move the dirt from peders and try to make a good
landing, it took about 30 trucks to get a pretty good landing and a fiddy landing! thanks once
again babylip for this!! it took a whole evening to get the dirt there, think we finnished at
23.00 something! so now was the biggest problem out of the world, cause we had somewhere to
land when we were jumping haha. all the other small preparations we did during the days, like
putting the fence around the place etc! OH, forgot to tell you as soon as the landing was done
ilkka salo arrived from Tampere where he had been for a week with his family! he arrived with
long time no seen arno and a really cool guy from holland named Bob Joosten! nice to see arno
again, its been like 4 years since last time!! long time.



we went to ilkkas appartment which he hired here in the city to hang out for a while, cause i knew
that the fiddy guys david and nicklas would arrive at any minute! and they did, with STYLE!! a red
kleinbus, with the fiftys inside, and the ramp on a trailer behind!



On wednesday 23rd we all went to my setup to prepare for the show on thursday, since ilkka had new
suspension he had to ride it in to get used to it, worked just fine! me, rättö and ilkka were jumping
the big ramp while the fiddy guys where sessioning their setup.

worked out fine and now it was time to get some sleep and start the show the next day!!



THURSDAY was the first day of the show, we didnt have a speaker since the one who was planned to come
had to work! so i was speaker the first day, and ilkka and rickard did a great! aswell as david and nicklas!
the second show on thursday it was time for me to put on my gear and ride! as always the first jump might
be scary, since its a new landing and new surroundings, but it all went good! good to ride on asphalt, its
a really good grip, and no mud flying around like past years at larsmo. anyways the weather was supergood,
and everyone had a great time! david did some really huge seatgrabs on his bike along with alot of other tricks!
the audiance really loved the fiddyshow! the first day was over and after the show we all went to the house
where all the riders lived to talk about the first day and plan the next! it was also Jakobs Dagar so there
was alot of people in the city that evening, so later we went to the terasse to have a good time.




FRIDAY morning, sun is shining, the weather is perfect! i woke up at 08.02 in the morning to recive a package from
ridestore(www.ridestore.se) the guy who delivered it is actually a old racer from the city, so we talked a little
about how it had went so far at the show etc..went inside to open the package with all the goods! took the package
later to rättö who got a new helmet and gear and ridestore stickers, sweet! about 2 hours later i recived a message
from my mother.."you got a package from DVS, its huge!!"..."sweet!!" went to larsmo to pick up the bike and the
package(thanks Vesa!!) got 12 t shirts and alot of other stuff from DVS, so i went to graphics to pring CREW on the
back of the t shirts, and give them to all the ones who helped out, so now all looked like a BIG DVS POSSE! good
advertisement for sure! i also threw some Tees in the audiance that they, the kids where crazy! ok, the show?
oh, it was flawless! everyone rode super, rättö did his first 2 longflips and the people went crazy!! ilkka did
BIG indys, and i managed to put on some rock solids and cliffys etc...we did some trains also(where we ride close
to eachother doing diffrent or same tricks, people love this, looks really nice, BRAAP...BRAAPPP..BRAAAPPPP!!!)
after both shows the kids came running for autographs(same as on thursday, forgot to mention that) so we signed
alot of autographs for all the kids, on the posters, shoes, t shirts..you name it! some of the kids wanted their
photo taken while sitting on the dirtbikes, so cool!!
Friday show was over and everyone was satisfied, we all got together in the dressingroom and said that it was such
cool 2 shows that day! we all aggreed! the evening was pretty much the same as thursday..pretty calm along with
good friends company




SATURDAYanother superb day with sunshine, really hot, but a little windy the first show, some of us were a little
consurned about the wind for some tricks, since its really dangerous to ride in hard wind if the bike driftes away while
you are holding on to it with only your hands or feets. think it was this day nicklas decided to try some flips..or wait
he flipped the fiddy already on friday, nice flip! but on saturday he flipped 3 times, if im not wrong..some failed, but
he didnt hurt himself thank god! david tried some flips also but i think he noticed already in the ramp that it was wrong
so he jumped off and got the bar on his back, but luckily it all went good! our show was about the same as on friday,
it all went good, all of us managed to do our tricks while gustav was screaming in the microphone! thanks gus for beeing
speaker by the way!! you are easily hired for next year also!! haha, no joke! :) rickard did 1 longflip each show this day
also! so this was it, 3 days of supergood riding along with good friends!




AFTERPARTYWe all filled davids kleinbus at the house, to go to the afterparty at minna and ronnies, in this poor
car, we were 19 people!!! oh shit, but it all went good! it was not a really long way to drive. we arrived at minnas about
21.00 when the sun was still shining, we had a good BBQ there, the one think that got me laughing and wondering was as
soon as we arrived all the guys went to the sandbox to play with the sand and the toys, hahaahaha..wtf? does it have
something to do with dirtbikes and catepillars and trucks? i dont know but it was funny to see! do we all love dirt this
much? seems so in a way..we were all chilling there during the evening til it got dark, then some of us went out, while
others went home to sleep, thanks for the afterparty guys and gals!!



so all in all...if i say myself i think i managed to get a really good gang together, all the people who been helping me
out and all the riders are all really down to earth and good people to hang with! its been easily the 2-3 best weeks
during the summer! thanks guys i miss you all already! make sure to come back end august then we can ride the foampit
more and have a good time!! and i have to work on the flip also, UUUHHH!
