Snow plough stuck in the snow

I have been in bed for a week with the flu or something, but yesterday I decided I needed to go for a longish walk. So I headed over to the old tree and back. On my way home I suddenly heard an engine, and as I came around a corner I spotted Tommy stuck in the snow with his Yamaha. He was using the Yamaha as a snow plougher and that was apparently a bit tricky. So after taking a few photos of Tommy stuck in the snow, I helped him get the 4-wheeler out of the snow, so that was my good deed of the day.

Motorcycle Stunt Show

There was a cool event in Handen last weekend called Motor Fever. A couple of very talented stunt drivers put on a great show. I will show both of them in action, starting today with the local hero Andreas Gustafsson from Vega. He is a semi pro, sponsored by Yamaha who pays for everything he needs. As I arrived Andreas was out on the tarmac and when he finished one of his runs I walked over for a chat. He told me that he averages twenty shows per year at the moment. Earlier this summer Andreas competed in the Stunt Riding German Open at Hockenheim for the first time and he finished in 22-second place. His mother told me that sometimes when he is practising his stunts there can be as many as 50 teenage boys watching his every move and trying their best to copy his tricks on their mopeds. The stunt he is performing on the top photo earned him a lot of applauds. On the second photo you can see four volunteers that spent what must have felt like the longest fifteen minutes of their lives on the asphalt being jumped over by the two stunt drivers. What you can't see on the third photo is Andreas latest injury, a burned hand. His mother said it looked like a football before Andreas put on a glove and the skin collapsed, that was one week ago but a small injury like that doesnt stop a dare devil...
