It all makes sense now.......Sam Pilgrim is a Viking!
"Wake early if you want another man's life or land. No lamb for the lazy wolf. No battle's won in bed." Viking saying.
Just wanted to show a little love for Iceland......and get out and ride the hell out of the new year everybody!!!

Bad-ass pic. Great POD for New Years.

I spent 4 weeks there during the mid might sun last summer, and stood underneath this waterfall. Ironically nobody in Iceland rides, and I mean nobody. The only place which had some DH trails was in Akureyri, and they got torn down due to being on the ski slopes. There is so, so, so much potential but you can't even hire a bike there. Anyone fancy starting a business over there?

Its true that the scene here is not exactly large, but there are riders here. Unfortunately biking of any variety is low on the food chain, hence lack of specialised trails, but we're working on that. We have a shop in Reykjavik (Kria Cycles) and Emil was actually guiding Sam and Chopper around when they came in November. We do all-mountain trips, all around Iceland, and we also hire Specialized FSR bikes (we are the only people that will hire you a serious AM bike). So, if any of you guys want to come to Iceland, drop us a line - kriacycles.com

The last years there have been abbout 50-60 riders racing the Icelandic dh cup series...
And 430 pepole raced the Bluelagoon challenge, easy 60km xc race.
And there is a bikepark just outside of Reykjavík at the Skálafell ski area.
They are open 2 - 3 times a wee during the summer and have a good uplift service....
So things are picking up up here
Cheers.
