xdannyx (Oct 8, 2007 at 18:25)

hardcore,Nice trails. keep it up dude.

Have you though of replacing your fork oil with antifreeze? xaxa Doesn't your suspension get slower in the cold weather? I haven't tested my boxxer in the snow, but to do that i have to wait for another month

air2k (Nov 9, 2007 at 2:06)

If you have very heavy oils like 12w, they are too slow in cold. Some ppl changes their oils to lighter ones. I drove my Boxxer with stock oils last winter and it worked good.

there enough trails there to make a bike trip viable?

i know it wont be as big as morzine etc, but i want to combine a trip to finland with biking, and Himos seems perfect.

air2k (Nov 22, 2007 at 23:38)

Himos is not open yet. It will open some time during season '08 as if I have understood correctly. Maybe you should register to www.ridefree.fi and ask about making trip to Finland. It's Finland's biggest MTB forum. There you will get right answers.

Man, full props to ya, that was one ace vid, wicked trail and f**king awesome riding!!! Next time it snows in GB i'm rippin it! (not that fast mind

that was some of the fastest snow ridin i have ever seen you guys must of spent some time packing that whole thing down first

mickeydesadist2 (Nov 7, 2007 at 15:08)

this type of fun makes up for the cold and it truly is a skill builder that many of us Canadians apprciate biking even more

Hahaa!

BerlinerCanuck (Apr 29, 2008 at 2:07)

Kiitos! Great vid, hows the riding up there in Finland? From the vids I've seen it looks pretty cool.

nouser (Oct 11, 2007 at 8:12)

wow thats so cool! looks like a nice trail!

bikes2 (Oct 11, 2007 at 13:12)

sick vidoe man, do you have studded tires for that??

air2k (Oct 11, 2007 at 22:27)

Actually we have self-made screw tires. Much longer studs than on any factory made tire.

blue-don-rider (Oct 12, 2007 at 12:30)

sick, that's what i thought, when you put the studs though the nobs, then put in a dead tube

blue-don-rider (Oct 13, 2007 at 19:12)

i just thought about it, what if you fall off and you get a nail up your ass? are you just f*cked?

air2k (Oct 13, 2007 at 23:24)

Yep. That's the risk u have to take.
I got my no-fear's pants shredded by my screw tires.

kawasakirules (Oct 11, 2007 at 18:31)

does that hurt ur shock and forck seals? doesnt matter awesome vid, keep ripin

air2k (Oct 11, 2007 at 22:30)

Very cold weather (like over -15degrees celsius) hurts seals. But who rides on weathers like that.

mickeydesadist2 (Nov 7, 2007 at 15:09)

CANADIANS

jankojones (Oct 12, 2007 at 20:44)

crap man your rippin!!!!! arent you a tad bit scared you gonna slip out???

air2k (Oct 13, 2007 at 23:33)

U just have to stay on trail or front tire will fall in deep snow and u can take a guess what happens after that.

mattbeer Editor (Oct 17, 2007 at 15:05)

dirtjumperbyroam (Oct 25, 2007 at 10:27)

theaviator (Nov 23, 2007 at 19:20)

he mentions up a little further on the page that he uses custom screw studs.. i was wondering the same myself and went looking through all the posts to see if i could find the answer

I personally wouldn't have made it 12 feet, he he.

dhlarry (Feb 25, 2008 at 18:53)

Could u ride that with normal tires??

air2k (Feb 26, 2008 at 0:51)

Yes you can, but then u have to be very confident about your riding. Only way is to forward.

FloRider111 (Nov 1, 2009 at 3:02)

holy shit that shits crazy..wut is that place open all year?

air2k (Oct 11, 2007 at 0:44)

That video was shot last winter. We don't have winter all year around. It's normal skiing resort.

pbuser143468 (Oct 11, 2007 at 15:18)

ya obviously lol..what i meant was..what ski place is this? and they run the lift for dh even in the winter?

air2k (Oct 13, 2007 at 23:29)

It's Laajavuori in central Finland. We had a deal with the company and we can use lifts. We have our own trails in forest there, that we maintain. Unfortunetly we aren't allowed to ride in ski slopes.
