Stadion Snowcross Oulu is a two day snowcross event held at Raksila's baseball stadium in Oulu, Finland. This year record amount of top riders from Finland, Sweden and Norway had registered to competition. Event started on Friday, 23th of February, with Finnish Championships, which Eetu Karjalainen won and was crowned as Finnish champion.
Saturday started with one versus one Dominator contest. Playoffs type of contest culminated to a three rider race to sort out positioning on the podium. Emil Hansson took the first place, Filip Har came in second and Adam Öhman settled for the third place. Ladies entered the stage after Dominator to compete in a national cup race, which included 12 women. This time Linn Sjöberg took the first place, Elvira Lindh came second and Noora Kursu third. Bothnia Cup race was the main event. Multiple heats and a last change round determined participants for the final heat where Joonas Keskiaho ended up taking the first place price. Mikko Osmo was second and in third place Pär Vikman.
Between races there were lots of activities for visitors to participate in, such as Airsoft shooting competition and disc golf. Winter Expo displayed newest snowmobiles on the market from different manufacturers. There were also few snowbikes, which of I've been very curious of lately after seeing few in MP 18 motorcycle expo couple of weeks ago 😎
February was a very cold month in Finland and on Saturday the temperature gauge dropped below -20 Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit). Nevertheless plenty of crowd gathered to enjoy the races. Only photographing felt a bit uncomfortable due to freezing fingers 😬
