Downhill bicycling


A weekend at Åre (Sweden) with two days of rough downhill bicycling is a thrill! I went with my friend Isac, who´s done this before. For me it was my first time ever. And it showed, haha! Isac went like a pro and I did my best control the bike over rough ground, steep downhills, over jumps, sharp turns... High up the mountain its lots of stones and rocks, further down, more forest and easier ground.
Partly I think it went quite well and I got some nice flow, partly I rode like shit and fell or slided of the tracks. I did a few hard crashes when i tried to go a bit faster or push of a jump a bit more... So today Im really bruses and sore on my legs, and got a cut in my forehead that probably will stay there always as a scar of memory. So at least I tried and didnt give up, haha :)
When you get that flow in it and starting to get a feeling of it its soooo coooool!
I do recommend to try this, but dont expect it to be easy ;) I´ll do it again! But get some extra protection for my thighs...... Keep it sweet! /Hella
