Every devoted mountain biker strives to travel the world, explore new locations, and experience the finest of singletrack. However, riding the same trails that you’ve done for years and years might be equally exciting. Maybe it’s because nothing seems to change, the revival of old memories, or just the trails themselves. Nonetheless, it is hard to beat the feeling of returning home and ripping familiar terrain. The local hills and the nearby bike parks have made Jon Bokrantz into the rider he is today. Follow him on A Day Out and get a glimpse of some singletrack goodness in and around Sundsvall, Sweden.

 There's an almost casual and laid backnflow to this that really masks just how badass much of the riding is. Seriously smooth.

 I've gotta say.........I love to just ride out the door. No packing bags, loading bikes and sitting in traffic. Even though I don't have mountains........that's how I like to roll. 3

 Really wish this kind of riding and bikes existed when I was kid spending my summers in Sweden during the 80's! Not that I didn't have fun, always enjoyed my summers there. I was biking around on steel framed single speed commuter bike on the trails in the woods of the Stockholm Archipelago....lots of pinch flats! This would have been so much better.
