Private BMX ramp

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.

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!!

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.

Downhill dominant Elise Kulmala is just riding and keeping touch of biking during winter months.
Thanks to Elise to find this place and know these cool people.

Downhill biking!

I was at home country spending Easter. Weather was unbelievable great!
I went to my old home slopes (Mustavuori), meaning to ride by snowboard a little bit.
At night was -10°C and still midday slopes and landings were really hard (icy). Sun tried to soften, but not yet enough.
I met my old friend Elise with downhill bikers in the parking place; they were going to have a photo session on the slopes or actually beside of the slopes is nice trail for this. So I decided to shoot some photos and wait little bit softening of slopes.
Trail is middle of the small forest and there was still snow, but trail itself was open (maybe used a lot).

Trees were filtering the sun a bit, birchwood, snow and ground spots in the snow gave nice landscape for photos. After all I ride by snowboard really only little bit!
