Leader: Victor Gradéus

Victor is one of the leaders at Trail Bike Camp – and he lives and breathes cycling.

Hi Victor! Who are you – and what’s your background in cycling?

I’m from southern Sweden and have lived in Åre for over 12 years. I’ve been cycling since I was a kid and have always loved jumping. I started with BMX, and for the past 12 years I’ve been focused on downhill and enduro riding.

What’s your role at the Trail Bike Camp?

I’m the jump coach – and a bit more than that! I help participants learn how to approach and use jumps in different ways to make their riding more fun and controlled.

How many times have you been an instructor?

2024 was my first year, and I’m definitely coming back!

What’s the best thing about the camp?

The community, the atmosphere, and seeing everyone improve throughout the week. It’s super rewarding.

Any tips for this year’s participants?

Come with a positive attitude! You’re in for a fun week of riding and meeting new friends from all over the country. Memories for life!
