Under the cicumstances we decided to drop the World cup in Denmark next weekend. So next race is now the world champs in China. Hopefully I can start train again for that race, for sure is gonna be a though one!
For min del ble det en helg der kroppen ikke virket i det hele tatt. Fantes ikke energi og var stort sett kvalm og dårlig under løpene. Etter søndagens innledende kastet jeg også opp, noe jeg aldri har gjort under konkurranse før. Klarte likevell komme til semi og ta UCI poeng for 4 gang i år. . Så nå dropper vi
Verdenscup i Danmark neste helg og bruker det vi har av tid frem mot VM
i Kina. Det er der Norge kan sikre sin OL PLASS. Rundt et VM i Kina er
det mye og tenke på, heldigvis tar Arvid, Marianne og Petter seg av
store deler av dette så vi kan konsentrer os om viktigere ting. For min
del går disse dagene til hvile, skulle helst sett de inneholdt hard
trening men kroppen min er ikke frisk så hoved prio akkurat nå er å
bli frisk. Thomas Hamon
FRA wins Elite crusier. Tommorow round 11 of the European Champs is on!!
May is here and only a few weeks left till the worlds. I feel a lttle tired after back to back racing for over a month and a lot of travelling, it will be good with some days at home before heading to China! But first off, european finals in Germany!
Norgesmester for 2 år på rad! Fornøyd med det. Alikevell følte jeg årets NM var et av de mindre løpene jeg noengang har vært på, både ang deltakere og tillskuere. Rekruteringsarbeid? Etter løpet ble topp 3 i jr og Elite innkallt til doping kontroll, tok meg 1 1/2 time å klemme ut de 175ml som trengtes. NC3 Gressvik: Norgescup på en våt men god gressvik bane. Pleier å kalle den hestebanen siden den beste hesten som regel vinner etter den laaaaaange første sletten. Idag gidde Kim Erik meg god konkurranse rundt banen. Andre gikk i bommen igjen. Den dagen han treffer på alt vil han være med helt i toppen. Ble etter hvert litt lei og sliten. Det er som to verdener å sykle NC i regn uten tillskuere ene helgen så til EM med UCI poeng og OL deltakelse på målstreken for mange den andre helgen. Men men sånn er det.

Strombergs Rode ok
today, the gate is wierd so didnt hit it perfect every time. Qualified
from motos, come from behind in the 1/8. Outside in the 1/4 with a
really good gate. In the semi I actually hit the gate so was kinda stuck
from the start. Got back and had a 4th/5th in the 3rd turn, tire slipped
and the cesar crashed in front of me. Lots of excuses, gate wasnt good
enough anyways. New day tommorow! Yesterdays practice went ok. It got delayed cause of the gate broke down. Gate isnt really random gate - drops at the same point every time. Cause of rain yesterday the hill got really slippery and a couple of riders went down when not using the anti-spin. The crew didnt swep the hill though. Rain came down all night long. But now its i windy and sunny so track is probably drying up, we`ll see. Went to the
olympic museum today, with was nice. Also saw Fabien Cancellara training
on his timetrail bike on our way home.
Our race was rained out, track was pretty wet but it worked. First straight was super muddy. After Qualifying both me and Andre has a 1-1-1. So I tought maybe Andre was the biggest competition today. Picked lane 4 with the other ones inside. Had a pretty good gate and held it in. Next race is Switzerland next weekend. If the weather holds up I guess it will be a good race. I am looking forward to it, getting back to real races.

Sandnes BMX Summer
Games in Norway this August. Prize money PRO PURSE €18.000!!!!!!!
Maybe the best prize money in the world for such a race?
In the OZ it looks like
Donny Robinson picked up a timetrail win followed by Strombergs. By the
pictures track looks really good and fun to race. Maybe it is easier to
build first straights with lower starting ramp? Thinking about
overshooting the first jump. We`ll see how the race goes. Why isnt
Freecaster covering our Nationals instead? Probably was a hard decision. 1. Sebastian Kartfjord, Sandnes
BMX Ser ut som Sandnes BMX
plukkte opp både 1 og 2 - foregangsklubben! Supercross in Australia, Adelaide is hosted this weekend. Freecaster is sending the show sunday. Our team is not going, instead we are staying home doing nationals, way much better races! :D
Today started with some plyos in the gym here at the Olympic training centre in Norways capital Oslo. Its pretty cool here. Going to the gym you meet a lot of celebrity athletes winning both olympic and world medals. Primeminister even came by for some weights. Then later we had invited the press and a lot more people shoved up than expected. So today BMX has been on TV and the biggest newspapers. Did some sprinting and I did a lot of interviews. So it turned out to be a pretty good day! Now we are heading home. Forecasts looks good and hopefully the new gate at my track is done now. Should be good to ride outdoors again, pretty fed up with the indoor dust. Here are some links to videos/interviews with tv and newspapers NRK - http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/distrikt/rogaland/verdi/49602 Dagbladet - http://www.dagbladet.no/sport/2008/04/08/531939.html Aftenposten - http://www.aftenposten.no/webtv/?id=9468&cat=2
See my 40 secs of fame on television here. Did another taking with a TV
channel today. They have finally understood whats going on with bmx and
olympics. Broght Anders and Andre today for the takings. We spent about
2 hours on a track, the last 40 minutes with pouring rain. Always a
little stressfull doing takes like this. So much riding long brakes then
full laps again :D

Germany
is over and I havent been doing any training since sundays race. Andre
always gives me shit for writing that Im always sick or in bad shape on
my website but here it goes. After saturdays practice I didnt feel to
good and felt I never really recovered from practice going into the
race. Before my 1/8final I had no energy left, and my early exit was
predictable. Did everything I could to recover from the race and tryed
again sunday. I felt better before the race, but again after my motos my
fuel was empty (threw up) and I told coach I wanted to give up the race,
and save my body. He had seen my moto sheet for 1/8`s and aksed me to go
for another round. I did and went on finally ending up as 6th in the
semi. Then I was all flat, and havent been feeling to good since that
race. 
Mange
norske hadde tatt veien til de to siste EM rundene i Tyskland, godt å
se!
