I spent one week in Finland and in my old home city Nokia. My friend Elise Kulmala told me about BMX ramp in Tesoma (Tampere), where she is going to ride.
Of course I wanted to see the ramp and some riding!
Finally winter arrived to Finland, we got some snow and temperature -16C. It is difficult to image BMX riding because of weather.
I arrived to address where ramp should be, it was some kind of small industrial zone, full of different kinds of production halls. Address was just one of these halls.
I went in and met Juho nice and friendly guy, who told that others are upstairs. Entrance was under of wall of the ramp.
I climbed up and saw big ramp, which fulfill the whole hall!!
I met Elise and Jukka Mäennenä. Jukka started to ride and I took my camera and started to shoot photos.
Juho Jokipolvi rented this industrial hall and built the ramp, he also lives in the same hall. There was in the one corner of hall wall and behind of wall is his home. This is just so great!! This is just what I like in life style sports and people on it, you just make everything and put all in, that you can make it. I feel familiar with these kinds of people.

Like always inside halls, one big target is to touch the roof during jump. I don't know did they touch already, but in this session we were near. |
Jukka and perfect tailwhip!! |
