Well, left friday morning to Denmark. They held the Scandinavian champs this year and all I knew about the track, was that the starting hill was flat. I rode a 37-14 gear and was spinning the shit out of it, haha..
After the training on friday I knew I could win if I just got my gate in the main. And luckely I could hold my head cold and just do my own stuff, and just had to hold on from Morten Therkildsens strikes from the back around the track. That man have some track speed!

Woops forgot my best thing today, I was driving thru Germany and on every sign on the road it says Austfarth, and I was like shit this need to be the biggest city in Germany, I was going for hours and its was there always. Hopefully I can visit this huge city one day. Also here in Holland I want to go to a city called Uit, which one is huge to.

Good night

Left my house in Norway 8:30 in the morning and headed down the ferry place, took me about 3 hours to get there, and when I finally got there the ferry was delayed. So got some time there to kill, did some shopping with my family that was nice!
The ferry took about 2 long hours over to Denmark and I was ready to hit the flat land HARD! Passed Denmark was done quick, with my Ipod pumping some new songs it¡¦s was enjoying it. Got to Germany and had a fast pit stop with a leak from me and some gas on my car and ready again. (It was already 10 hours since I left my house)
From Germany to the Nederland¡¦s it was long, started to feeling it now, stiff neck, back, but I was lucky and got a free stretch, before I even know it the Police pull up and makes me stop!
I didn¡¦t know what to think and do; I had not done anything stupid the last few hours since my car can not go to fast. They got my driver license and the paper for my car, and had it for over 10 minutes, I was feeling my hearth rate was going faster and faster. This fat German ugly Police woman came back and gave me my stuff and left, didn¡¦t even say anything. I had to call my dad and tell him what happened and just laugh about it.

After that I got some RedBull and was flying my last 5 hours thru Germany and in to Holland to Martijn Scherpens place where I will stay the next 14 days.

Today we have been internetting a lot, haha! We also packed out all my shit and hung out in the city of Emmen in the nice hot weather. Later on we rode Martijns PitBike witch was so fun until I broke it! Trying to get it fixed this week so we can ride it again next week.

Buy the end of the day we met up with Roy Van Den Carzy Strong Berg at a track here, this track has no starting hill, just starts flat and you cant get anything for free there. After doing some gates you could really feel it and had to rest for a bit. In the end of the training we played around the track and just had some funļ

Out for today. Later folkx!!

En kort rapport fra VM i Kina.
Som Anders selv sier: i dag syklet jeg godt men i dag var det ikke godt nok.Nå er det finalen i OL i London i 2012 som teller.
FYLDIG rapport på Petter Dalen sin side

I dag har Andres fått trent godt på banen og er ganske fornøyd med slik han klarte banen.Han fikk gjort det meste slik han ville og han tror selv han er klar for sitt livs løp på lørdag.
Ellers har Anders fått behandling og brukt smertestillende gele og masse "painkillers" som han kaller det for å fullføre enn skikkelig trening.
Heatene er nå tilgjengelige og det ser ut som om det kan gå rette veien og at Anders kan ha en relativt god mulighet til å gå videre fra innledende runder.
Han utrykker selv stor optimisme.
Lykke til Anders. Vi er også optimistiske.

Etter mange år i det internationale BMX miljøet har Anders heldigvis fått seg mange gode kontakter og hjelpere. I dag fikk han god behanling av Marie i UCI til å behandle skaden han fikk i går.
Anders ser lyst på det og håper at han er kvitt det meste av skaden til i morgen slik at han kan trene en gang til på banen før alvoret starter på lørdag.

I dag er banenen testet. Banene er forholdsvis rask, men krevende.
Det gikk ganske godt på startene men etter noen runder var Anders uheldig og fikk et kraftig fall. Han fikk en skade i hånda og hælen. Men kjenner vi Anders rett så er han raskt tilbake og er virkelig sugen på å gjøre det godt i helgen. Ellers går dagene som vanlig, men i dag har vi fått rapporter om mye mindre forurensing. Heldigvis.
Faren

Dagen begynte som vanlig i under oppholdet i Kina. Frokost og deretter trening på treningssenteret på hotellet. Anders føle at treningene fungerer ganske greit nå men savner å sykle på en BMX bane.
I dag fant de faktisk en europeiske restaurant som de spiste på til middagen.
Så reiste de en tur for å besiktige banen. Anders mener at VM banen passer hans måte å sykle på veldig bra så nå gleder han seg veldig. Når de var på banen fikk de beskjed om at denne dagen var den mest forurensa dagen denne månen og derfor måtte de bruke masker. Maks 100 meter sikt.
I dag har de fått skiltene som skal brukes under VM. Anders har130 ,Sebbi134Andre 102.
I Elite klassen er det 111 rytter fra 29 land og i junior klassen er det 44 rytter fra 20 land som er påmeldt. Så utakingen i de forskjellige landet har nok vært tøff.
Ellers har Anders lagt inn snart tusen sanger på PCen til Andre.

Dagens rapport fra Anders:
Dagene går veldikt fort.
Når dagene består av mange nye inntrykk og en god del trening, litt avslapping og mye god kinamat så går dagene veldig fort.
Fikk se noen bilder av banen i dag. Startbakken var 6 meter høy!!
En av treningsøktene i dag bestod av sprint i gatene. På grunn av luftforurensing i byen måtte alle bruke masker for ikke få for stor dose av den skitne luften.
Her hjemme er vi litt spente på mer beskrivelse av banen,heatsammensetningen,været,levestandarden,service........
Far til Anders.

Den kinesiske døgnrytmen kom eg fort inn i sjøl om eg satt oppe ganske seint med Sifiso i gårkveld.
Faktisk har de ganske goe frokosta her og de e vestlige.
Hadde ei treningsøkt med spinning og styrke på treningsenteret på hotellet.
Itte en kjappe dusj va det ud i de kinesiske gadene. Det va en opplevelse. Adle snur seg og ser på osse samtidig som de ler og smile.
Der e mange "fake" butikka og alt e latterlikt billikt. Ei flaska me vatn koste bare 70 øre.
Med blei veldikt populære i de butikkane me va innom. Det va mange unge jente så jobba i butikkane sjøl om det ikkje va mange kunda.De ville t og me ta bilde av og me osse.
Av en eller aen grunn måtte Andre og meg bytta fra den store leiligheten me hadde til et "normalt" rom. Men det spele ikkje så store rolle for alt e flott og stort på dette 5 stjerners hotellet. Så nå bur me i 32 etasje.
Nå det gjelde mad så e det jo himmelen for en som har Kinamad som favorittmad. Me kan jo få Kinamad t adle måltiå viss me vil.
Foreløbikt ligge bildene fra Kina på de andre sine hjemmesie.
Me har d fint.

Vi ble hentet og det var den villeste kjøringen.
Andre og jeg bor sammen i det flotteste hotelet jeg noen gang har vert på.
Nå er det styrke også mat.

Det har vert en laaaaang tur og vi er kjempe slitne. Skal bli digg med hvile.
Kommer med mer nytt senere

Just been doing my stuff the last few days, riding my bike, having fun and just trying to get some more energy and get the peek before the worlds in china.
Still have some great weather here in Norway and nothing much to complain about.
Tomorrow is the last day and I need to get some packing done. I don’t really know what to pack yet since it’s a special place we are leaving to. But anyway, China here I come!!

Well, haven’t been updated for a while, just been doing my daily training and having fun in the nice weather we have had for the last few weeks. Heard the place where the worlds will be held is pretty dirty. Lots for smog and a bit nasty, I hope it will turn out better than expected and it will be a great world.

Couples days ago I did a recovery ride on my mountain bike and crashed pretty bad. I got this big blue mark on my leg and I could almost not walk in 2 days. It still hurts bad but managed to do some gate practise today. Everyone was there so I had a good time riding my bike again, I think that’s the worst thing that can happened to me, when I just have to sit home and chill for a whole day, that just makes me crazy. I have to ride my bike every day.

Pease out.

The last few days have been amazing, with nice hot weather and some good friends to train and ride with I can’t ask for anything more. I have even been riding some trails a couple of times now. Just scared of going there too much before the worlds and get injured. It kind of took me bad yesterday when on of buddies at trails went down not hard but he broke his foot and had to do surgery. Hope you get a fast recovery man!
Today I and Sebastian finished up the pro-section at my home track and it worked out really good. Going to do some gate practise tonight at the track with everybody so I hope it turns out to a good session with a new pro-section there!

It’s a long story but first my computer broke down for like thousand times and I kind of just gave up the whole website project since I never got any news on it. I have been missing to do some updates and finally my computer is back on track and I can do my stuff again.

The last couple off weeks there has been some really good weather but have been travelling so mush I haven’t spend any time in the sun until this week. Today I did sprints in just shorts and t-shirt and I felt so good! And the other day I also hit the trails spot and I haven’t been there in 2 years and it still worked out pretty well.

Tomorrow I need to get some vaccines before I leave to china for the world championships!

I’m out, AG
