Tahko MTB – the biggest mountain bike race in Finland!
Last weekend we were in Tahko MTB which is the biggest mountain bike race in Finland! Fun and wet day!
Check it out also Tom and Jimmy´s video: https://youtu.be/ss80REM0pN4
It’s always a pleasure to watch my favorite Finish couple engaging your great outdoor adventures. You always appear to be happy and having so much fun. Pretty good video. Congrats on your first place win. Thanks for sharing. Keep having fun. 🙏👍❤️💪
That's a really cool sundog at 0:12. If you look at the top right of the screen, you can see a green glow that kind of looks like the Startrek badge. I wonder why is wasn't just an oval like most sundogs.
The road biker in me approves of this video! Here is a video of me descending one of my local "legend" climbs, Stunt Rd along the Pacific ocean near Malibu in the Santa Monica Mountains. The beginning elevation is 2400 feet above sea level (the ocean is just off to the left as we start). On this Christmas Day ride, I took the lead on this super fast and challenging descent for my semi-pro racing friend who had never been on this road before. At the point where it becomes the most challenging, you will see that I take a big lead on him. I know that route well, which is the reason why I "dropped" him. It was very cold that day, and the roads were still wet from a heavy rain the previous day. We went downhill as fast as we could (between 30 – 45 mph), but not nearly as fast as we would have gone if the road was dry. I am very good at going fast downhill, and my fastest time on this route is in the top 5 all time, and only 30 seconds away from the fastest time by a pro. At 2:25 while rounding the sharpest turn, my front end began to shimmy while braking. That really scared me, and it took me awhile to get my head back into the ride. You can see me coasting for a long time after, just "WTF!"-ing in my head! Then I settled down and got busy flying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymBeGqe0oPs&t=369s
Moi ! Great content Anni 👍 . I've given up racing for the moment , but I'll be getting a ebike before the end of the year , so hopefully I'll be out again 😁 Oh and pizza is the perfect recovery food 👍
You know the Shimano system has a hill walk assist feature, where it basically pulls you up the hill instead of you pushing it. Just put it in a low gear and hold down Y (or lower shifter) until WALK appears on screen, then release Y and press and hold again for walk assist.
Anni, thanks for another interesting look at Finland and your life. When this video started I was transfixed by your face. I restarted the video after it had ran for a bit and discovered why. Your blue helmet made your blue eyes stand out very well. Good helmet color for you!! : D
Great job guys grinding it out in the rain ,it looked miserable at ti mes but you had fun and that's what counts! Have a good one guys see ya next time and 😀
At 6:20 by the lake was a hole on the shore I fell into 😂 and I couldn't get up, it was like turtle on it's back so a fellow rider came and helped me back up 😁 That happened in 2013, my first Tahko! Good memories, makes me happy to see you guys there 💕😊

Even the two guys had couple shirts/jackets. You and Lauri missed out :p
You deserve a real trophy Anni, or a Massage chair 😀
Great race… I feel like I participated! 😎
Even in technical clothing, you are always so colorful. Amazing Semi-XCMarathon race.
Congrats Anni on winning first place! Of course, in your situation you also came in last place…..Hmmmm, it sounds better to come in first place!

Congratulations on your victory, Anni!

Inspiring! I had to stop the video in the middle and go for a ride.

Congrats on first place! You rock! I would have died on the uphill parts haha!
Some savage has put dislikes on your videos 😱
You guys are so awesome! I am jealous I never get to do anything lol
Great job guys grinding it out in the rain ,it looked miserable at ti mes but you had fun and that's what counts! Have a good one guys see ya next time and 😀
Two questions. 1. How do you have time for drone filming during the race? 2. How are you allowed to use ebike while some people don’t have ebike.
Rad.. I ride a 2006 Devinci Ollie .. all still stock except for the cranks and the breaks. Its a beast but its pretty much indestructible!

Let's go ride bikes!! 😎🤩🚴♀️🚴♀️
Hydraulic Press Channel Sport Team
Nice!
"El Grande"
El = push
Grande = your bike
That made me laugh so hard! I want to buy a new bike soon (I broke my last one a few years ago).
Anybody else love when they say "pretty good" ? Lol
Moi Anni! Onnea! 🎉great racing video! I’m sure Saari would have enjoyed it too as she loves this! 🥇👏🏻💪🏻❤️
We always enjoy watching your videos and my wife and I have a new phrase that gets used regularly between us……"Pretty Good"!
I know what I'm doing now when I visit the home country 😀

Big Thanks for taking us along. Great Video and Congratulations on the win!!!!!!
I will send a fan mail for laury with stuff to crush. Can you make a video unboxing it when you get it?
5:35 "my bike is super heavy to push :D" — should link to power lifting videos
We here in Oregon and Washington could use a Finnish view on S. A. D. supplements for the long rainy seasons during winter.
Jimmy: "But you pooped in the forrest today."
Tom: "That was a relief."
😂😂😂
Grats! Have good weekend 🙂
