Laajavuori Bikepark Finland- Grant Fielder Returns

2 weeks ago i received a phone call asking if i wanted to go over to Finland for the annual Nasse ride event hosted at the Kona Bike Park Laajavuori. With an early friday start i set off to Heathrow for my 3 hour flight to Helsinki followed by a 3 hour drive to Jyvaskyla.

The trip was a wet one for sure but to brighten things up i was lucky eneough to try out a fair amount of the 2013 bikes on display. I chose the Entourage, Mikko was on the operator and tapbeir (probably the coolest name in history, i called him beertap!) was shredding Konas latest member of the family the Process. Despite the weather we managed to get in plenty of runs and certainly didn’t care about the mud and rain. We were filming out there so expect to see more info on the trip shortly.
Peace.

Crankworx De Alpes- Grant Fielder

It has been one busy season to date. Germany, France, Hungary, Scotland, Wales, Italy and of course my homeland have been ridden this last month! Plenty of school demos are happening so watch out as i could be in a school near you! haha
I just arrived back from Les De Alpes where they will host the European Crankworx and Im telling you it will be insane. The course is exactly how a slopestyle course should be and it reminds me of the older Crankworx courses.
Yannick Granieri invited myself, Sam pilgrim and Sam Reynolds to ride in the official testing of the course. The demos were set for Friday and Saturday evening and it certainly went off. The jumps were so big making it so fun but really scary at the same time and the crowds were big
During the day we had plenty of time to go ride the bike park. I decided to take my my old Bass bike for both the trail riding and the slopestyle course. Where i haven’t rode DH (mega brake bumps) for a while, arm pump kicked in big time. I can’t wait to go back there.
Back to a busy week of sorting bits out like my trailer and getting bikes sorted for the events coming up. Must go spray my new ramp for this weeks demos
