How do you like your new training tool?
“I love it! The Husqvarna FC 250 is super lightweight, agile, powerful and the handling is awesome. Especially for me, since in winter I have to take a break from riding motocross. It’s perfect because I hop on it in spring and ride away without having to get too much used to it again. The WP AER 48 suspension is awesome and easy to adjust for my needs, and I love the electric starter as it comes in handy sometimes, especially when I haven’t ridden for a little while (laughs).”
How do you feel about the brand Husqvarna Motorcycles in general? Especially for you being from Scandinavia?
“Well, Husqvarna is a Swedish brand with a huge heritage. I grew up riding Husqvarna’s and saw my dad riding them back then and today, so I basically think I got ‘programmed’ during my youth. I really enjoy seeing how the brand has evolved since 2013, I think that it is more ‘Swedish’ now than it has been in the time before. The colours, the pictures you see and the whole appearance is very appealing and as I already said, the motorcycles and quality are awesome. I also find it funny how my dad and I are still riding the Husqvarna’s on the tracks and in the wilderness like we did back when I was very young. I am very happy that we can do that on motorcycles of a brand that we can identify ourselves with.”
Do you follow some races or riders?
“I am a huge fan of motorcycle sports in general, especially motocross. I follow a lot of the races on TV or at the tracks whenever time permits. Sometimes I even have split-screen on the TV with skiing on one side and MX on the other. I follow riders like Jason Anderson, Zack Osborne, Max Nagl, Gautier Paulin, Kjer Olsen and Graham Jarvis and others, whether it’s Supercross, MX, Enduro or the Dakar I just love to watch how these crazy guys make it look so easy. In terms of races all I will say is this year’s Supercross in Las Vegas was absolutely insane. I also follow MXGP a lot as the level of competition is enormous and the races are exciting every time.”
