Hometown: Tampere, Finland
Years riding: 7 years riding, 5 years MTB.
Sponsors: NS Bikes, Tarmin-MTB.com
Hobbies: Mountain bike, music, snowboarding, guitars, drums

I was born in December 1990 and lived around Tampere (in Western Finland) since then. I started riding mtb at the age of 13. In 2006 and 2007 I focused more on bmx riding but 26 inches felt more my own thing so I sold my bmx and began to ride only mtb again. During seasons 2008, 2009 and 2010 I’ve become more and more active and ambitious rider. I’ve spent as much time as I could on my bike at my local trails and touring the best riding spots around Finland.

Music is my other passion. I play drums in a band and I’m studying guitar making. I also do some snowboarding at winters.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

My career highlight was the whole 2010 season. I spent a lot time on my bike including a couple of really good road trips, learned some new tricks and I took the 1st place in every Finnish dirt jump comp.  This summer I hope I still learn a lot of new tricks and I would like to be more involved in organizing competitions and riding jams in Finland.
