FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

All in all things went without any major problems, there were the couple of days when the toilet on the bus got blocked and it stank real bad!.... then the bus seemed to break down on the ferry between Denmark and Sweden, just as I thought we'd spend the next few hours travelling backwards and forwards feeling continually worse with sick sickness, Dog-egg (Shaun!) went to the driver and spread some knowledge - the bus started! Knowledge had a hundred stories to tell, and the funniest conversations to listen to were the ones between him, Joe and Jim - something you need to hear for yourself. Will celebrated his birthday in a crazy commune in Oslo, N.J didn't celebrate his birthday as he was in bed with sea sickness on the journey out - we made sure to celebrate for him! When we first arrived in Gothenburg we met up with Johan Fahlnaes from Childstore BMX and his girlfriend Maria, they are both lovely and Johan was a huge help with everything throughout the week, so a massive thank-you to him. We met so many people along the way, I cannot believe how friendly everyone was, the generous hospitality in all three countries was just incredible. Trond from Spokesman in Oslo gave us a place to park the bus and introduced us to some local guys. Niels Thanild from Copenhagen has to be one of the friendliest people you could wish to meet in such a short space of time!...if you're ever in Copenhagen be sure to hook up with Niels and buy him a beer! Throughout the entire trip the guys continued to amaze me each day with the stuff they were pulling and the places we found to ride ;0) So thanks to each of them for making the trip possible, it wouldn't have been the same if any one of them had not made it. With such a wide range of personalities on board the bus you would expect that things may get a little uncomfortable, but everyone just got on so well for the whole ten days and this roadtrip is an experience I won't forget!! Cheers to Will, Ashley, Joe, Jim, Northern, Mr. Pink, Vinny, Shaun and Paul. Also thanks to Banners, be sure to check out an upcoming issue of Ride UK for photo's and full story on the trip.... Here are a few photo's of some happy memories for you!... Becky
