RIDING LYNX
Riding in deep snow – that’s my bag! I like to ride technical, wooded terrain and that’s the environment that BoonDocker DS is at its best. Especially I like its precise and effortless handling combined to its stability in sidehilling. It has been great to note, how the sled has came better and better year-by-year. At the moment, BoonDocker DS just an excellent sled in deep snow. It is a true honor to be part of Lynx family. I feel privileged when I can ride these great sleds and being involved to develop them to be even better.

STARTING OUT
I was 4 when I sat first time on snowmobile as a passenger. I got excited right away. My love for the snowmobiling strengthened with more experience. When my family finally got our own sled, that was it! I remember watching sled races from television when I was young. I dreamed that some day, when get older, I would do something with snowmobiling. This vision has guided me over the years and here we are. Nowadays I’m able to ride a lot and do many nice things relating to snowmobiling. What I also enjoy, is that I can help other people with snowmobiling.

LIVING SISU
Riding in deep snow in itself require sisu and perseverance. You cannot become a good rider without practicing same things dozens or even hundreds of times. At first you will experience a lot of failures but at the end, success is very rewarding. My motto is, don’t give up but try again!

MUST-HAVES ON A SLED TRIP

A tiny lightweight stove. The whole thing is the size of a coffee cup and weighs almost nothing. I’ve spent enough nights on the mountain to understand that hypothermia really can be your worst enemy.
