Riding in the surrounding of Bilbao. The first foto is from Leioa and the others from Getxo.

Roadtrip To Malaga (part 2)

This spot is absolutely the strangest place where we have ever ridden. Our main goal in Malaga was to ride this "thing", witch is an emergency exit for overflooding water. The construction is huge and it can be seen from the highway. To get there, you have to do some hiking along the dry emergency river.

Roadtrip To Malaga (part 1)

We were thinking a quite while doing this: a bmx-roadtrip to Malaga - to the so called bmx-capital of Spain. In the region of Malaga reside some of the bmx-pros you can see on bmx-movies and during the year loads of bmx-riders travel there to enjoy the sunny weather and some stunning riding spots.

Well, Malaga is very far away from Bilbao and that's why we did stops also in Madrid as we went and as we returned. The region of Madrid have also a lot to offer for bmx-riders. For example: almost infinite number of street-spots and also some nice skateparks...

I was more than happy to do the trip with my French friends: JR and Pil. Thanks mates! We packed all the three bikes and all the equipment to Pil's faithfull Peugeot 205 and we pushed the pedal to the metal...

[below 2] During the trip we had some problemes with a bearing of the 205. Fortunately it made it to the end! Here we're doing some repair work on the beautiful coast of Malaga.

[below all] The dirt of Ruben in Torremolinos, 10 km's from Malaga. It was the best dirt I've ever seen... Wait for some video footage to realize how good it really is.



This is not all we did during the trip. To be continued in the parts 2 and 3...

Skatepark of Leioa

Absolutely the best skatepark in the area of Bilbao. From the city center of Bilbao 15 minutes by metro + 10 minutes by bike.

Riding in Bermeo and Mundaka

Bermeo and Mundaka are located 30-40km from Bilbao in the beautiful coast of Viscaya. They have something for riding bmx as well...

Trip to Burgos 1.11

I have heard many times that in Burgos there is a lively bmx-scene. Finally I had good opportunity to find out more as we decided to to do a one-day-trip there. We were 5 bmxers from Bilbao: Jorge, Iñigo, Istebe, JR & me.

I have heard also that it's really cold there in the highlands of Burgos in autumn... and it really is. Well, we spent freezing afternoon riding in the nice (but little bit slippery) outdoor skatepark of Burgos. Before we headed back to Bilbao we were offered an opportunity to try a new private indoor bmx-park. Wow! It's really stunning.

Jorge have a perfect van for roadtrips...



Almost perfect curved wallride in Amurrio. Why we don't have this kind of architecture or art in Finland...
