Söderström in BC: Trying out for the track

Martin Söderström is all pumped up after deciding to enter the pump track competition at Whistler

It is the day before the main Slopestyle Red Bull Joyride contest and Martin fancies a bit of a change to his usual preparation for such a big event.So he goes off to investigate the pump track at Whistler Mountain Bike Park and joins in on a few test rides even if it is on his slopestyle bike.

Motivated by competition, Martin, probably unwisely, decides to enter the pump track contest and qualifies for the evening finals. Martin is a born entertainer and he can’t help but pull a few whips even while racing against another competitor on the pump track.

All that effort does leaving him feeling rather tired at the night’s end though. Still there's always next year's pump track competition to train for Martin.
