The last two rounds of the Danish DH cup.

The last two races was held in Rold forrest. The track there is super fun. It is a pretty basic course with some fun jumps and steep sections.

Saturday:

The Fusion Freeride event was held Saturday. It is about getting points on the jumps and North Shore sections. Both Bo and I rode the event, just for fun. Bo rode all the big jumps and North Shore sections so he got 2nd in the event. Bjarke from the 222Freeride team got a 3rd. I just rode some jumps and used it as a practice run for Sunday. Saturday was also a training day, so I got a bit training in there. Unfortunately Bo could only ride Saturday. So I was left alone with our mechanic Christian. Bjarke and Kasper from the 222Freeride team was also there.

Sunday:

The first race of the started at 10.00 so I was there an hour or so before to get some practice run in and warm up. The course was a bit dryer so my Minions could hook up in de damp conditions.

The first race of the day was two runs on two different course, where the times are gathered to one time. The first run went good and I came in 1.2 up on no. 2 on the 50 seconds course. Second run was good with a little mistake in the middle. I came in .4 seconds faster than no. 2 so I had won the 7th round. I was really happy to have won the 6th and 7th round. It gave me a lot of confidence for the 8th round.

Me in practice.

The 8th round was one run called "No Limits". The concept is to find the fastest way down the hill on the two courses.

The run went well but I came down .04 slower than no. 1. I was pretty gutted that I had lost by .04 of a second.. But 2nd is also good:)

Ry, 6. round of the Danish DH cup.

Last weekend Bo and I rode the 6th round of the Danish DH cup i Ry. The course was steep and muddy, just how we like it:) Both Bo and I came Sunday morning so we could get some runs in before the race.

From the first run I felt home on the track, so I knew that I could get a good result. We took turns to ride in front and tried some new lines, which worked out good. A lot of people were running dry tyres, but we decided to try the Maxxis Wetscream out - that tyre has so much grip in the mud it is almost like riding in the dry!

Come race the rain came down hard so the course got even more muddy. Bo was fast in his first run, but had a mistake in his second run. Even though the mistake he got a 5th at the race.

My first run went really good, I hit all my lines and came down 4 sec. faster than no. 2 so I just had the stay on the bike in my second run. My second run went good but I had a crash midway so I got up fast and gave it my all to the bottom. Even tough I crashed I won the race by 1 sec. so I was happy.

Stay tuned for a race report from the 7th and 8th round of the Danish Dh cup in Rold.

The last few weeks

It´s been a while since I have written on the blog, but I have been up to a lot so here it goes:)

About a month ago the 5th round of the Danish DH cup went off. The race was held i Ruehede a little forest on Fyn. The course was pretty basic, but the rain came, and made it interesting.

Bo had a bad crash the week before at the 222cycles dirt jam, so he was not riding. So it was up to me and the 222Freeride team to pin it.

Unfortunately the I crashed in both of my race runs, 10 meters before the finsih line. I was gutted because I felt fast trough practise. Luckily the 222Freeride team was at the race to get a result. Lars Mortensen from the Freeride team won the race by 2 sek and Bjarke got a 4th place so the team was happy:)

Bjarke pinning it.

After the race I went to France for four days. It was the first time for me to ride my bike in there, so I was pretty excited.

The first day we rode in Morzine which was okay but there were alot of brake bumps so it was not the most fun. We found some secret runs in the forest which was super sick! Steep and very rutted. To end the day of we took the super Morzine lift to the top and found a fast super fun trails all the way down to Morzine.

The second day we went to Les Deux Alpes to get some longer runs. We rode alot of red and black runs there all day. The trails there are super fun and flowy. I defiantly got better at riding berms.

The last two days we rode in Chatel. The bikepark there is soo fun to ride. There´s berms jumps and some rock pits, that are fun. We had some fun days there in the rain.

To sum it up it was a super fun trip. I rode with my new Leatt Brace and got to try some new things with my Legend and my Marzocchi fork.

Stay tuned for a race update from the two last rounds of the danish DH cup!
