First Trip to Messila and Laajavuori Bike Park in 2012

We decided to go to Messila and Laajavuori at our first Bike Park trip in 2012 season. Our usual first stop in Finland is Messila Camping which is close to Messila Bike Park. This camping always has plenty of space to put our tent, empty kitchen to cook some meal and drunk finnish people singing karaoke.
Messila Bike Park is very good for begining of the season. It's trails are not too hard. It has about 100m of height and about 5 different trails

Here are some photos from Messila:

There's allways a few photos of me, cause nobody is able to use my Canon. Everybody likes to be shooted, but nobody want's to make good pics with me.


Our next stop was at Laajavuory Bike Park. It also has about 100-110m of alt. and about 8 different trails.
This bike park has a very exciting freeride trail with lots of gaps without tables. This trail teached us how to jump gaps.

Local guys know how to ride
