¤MikkoOnali¤ news

1.2/2015

My friends wants to make an interview & use it to school work.
This is it. Sorry, full versio in Finnish only.

Tell me facts of you what you aren´t told in your sites?

I drink very much coffee but I drank about 10 years ago more. In this days I drink about 1 liter and years ago about 3 liters. I have at least one day per week when I flex my muscles. Without it I am in trouble because I have so hard job. I am interested in pets and I have a black cat. It is at least as cool as Bengali cat.

What kind of media you like?

My daily routine is read Helsingin Sanomat and Maaseudun Tulevaisuus. If you agree I like very much old MP1-lehti and Vauhdin Maailma. They are finnish motorsport magazines!

The biggest interest is internet. There I like to read sport news.

What kind of articles are the most interesting in old magazines or in newspapers?

Articles of Ismo Vehkonen. Maybe the best is in 1985 Vauhdin Maailma where is very huge article. It was the first season when Ismo rode Honda CR125 and the article include some photos that he really jump like an American supercross stars!

Why do you like wheel loaders and other equipments?

When I was kid my father had very different machines and Seppo Stenroos was the mechanich who fixed them with me. Seppo was so great person because he taught me vey much about mechanic works. Actually it was so interesting to watch fixing, too.

How you come happy?

When I see my friends or someone say "thanks". Some times when I am help my friend and he will receive a success of it.

Tell me your strenghts and specially about your riding career.

At least that if one thing is interesting I feel like my sacrifice thus indicating a lot of time. I have good jumping skills. It is fact that I can´t beat my record but in this days I can do good air. When I rode I was good in field, in sand pit tracks and in snow. In addition I was good in motocross starts, too.

Long time ago I tried to plant as much as possible. I planted 1500 plants per 3,5 hour. It was only test and in normally day I planted about 370 plant per hour.
Every field what I planted checked by my boss Pekka Lehtinen.
In any case I don´t beleave that it is impossible to beat that if you are pro!

What kind of sectors you can develop?

Many things in forest industry and in language skills. I can solve daily routines in English and I beleave that in Swedish, too. Weird thing that I haven´t good language skills because I use them every day. My friends post links to news articles to me and about 90% in English, 6% in Swedish, 3% in Norwegian and only 1% in Finnish.

What kind of clothes do you like?

I think that cool jeans and t-shirt, of course! I like clothes which are
different than friends of mine.

Who are those whom you can thank that you look cool?

Dirtti Shop & Freegun sell very cool clothes and if I want to the most cool clothes I must say then that few friends in Norway. My favorite barbers are Alisa or Essi in Helsinki/Espoo.
They are only who I can agree there! Now I have so busy time that I have gone to barber
in Joutsa where is another good barber and she called name Mari.

What do you hate?

I hate forest which is in bad condition and chinese tools. In addition sick leave.

Why did you interested in motorcycles?

I can´t say one and only thing. My cousin rode when I was kid and then I live in Joutsa where rode Heikki Paalanen and Jukka Järvinen.

What did you do when you was young?

I was very interested in sport. My favorite sport was track&field, skiing, soccer and MTB.
I went fishing with my grand mom, too.

I think that you like all kind of sports?

Gymnastics and bowling, for example. I hate them!

Which are your favorite lessons in school?

Definitely a sport but I like math, too.

When was your the last riding day?

Long time ago but after when I sold my bike. The day was disaster because I fixed my friend bike suspension and I crashed! After that I thought that maybe it is better that I ride only MTB.

What are you did lately? What is your relation to enduro and motocross?

I am student now and school works are my main job at this moment. My school is in Seinäjoki and I will graduated to forest engineer. It is good thing that I must visit in school only one week per month or less.

Lately I have watched a few enduro or motocross competitions. Maybe in the future I will go to watching because at this moment here in Finland is few good talents. Kim Savaste and Emil Weckman, for example. In addition I am interested motocross series in abroad. There is many good talents and tracks are more interesting than here in Finland. I checked often what is happened in abroad and who can be the next world champion in motocross. I just watch junior age group because they have 2 stroke bikes.

What do you do in your free time?

I don´t have lot of free time but I like ride MTB and I read old MP1-lehti and Vauhdin Maailma magazines. In addition I am interested in alpineskiing, free skiing and snowboarding. I keep and eye on snowboard juniors specially and I think that it is my main interest.

Who are the sickest snowboarding junior talents in Finland?

All the FSA team but I must to say 2 crazy snowboarder girls who don´t ride in the team
and they are Ida Räisänen and Laura Syri.

Who are the most interesting people who you are photo shooted?

Marika&Mika Ahola. Erno Aro(ex motocross rider), Remi Bizouard, Robbie Maddison, Jukka Järvinen(ex enduro rider), Toni Salokangas(ex enduro rider), Sami Luhtanen(snowboarder), Malla Partanen(snowboarder), Elli Pikkujämsä(snowboarder), Suvi Suitiala(snowboarder).

Who are the persons who would you have wanted shoot but you couldn´t because they sport career ended?

Ismo Vehkonen, Pekka Vehkonen, Jukka Aures(ex enduro rider), Jukka Järvinen(ex enduro rider), Katja Repo(she was the real motocross talent in late 1980´s but changed MX to Downhill biking).

How about snowboarders?

Okey they are Satu Järvelä, Meri Peltonen, Heidi Paumola and Arto Pitkänen.

If you could go for photo shoot now who would be the most intresting buddies?

Motocross: Kim Savaste and Emil Weckman. Ismo Vehkonen would be very interesting if he will go to the tracks! Ken ROczen but many other AMA stars, too. There is many multi-talented racers. DiFrancesco, Hodges, Leadbetter and Nielsen! Carey Hart&Trampas Parker and other legends!

Snowboarding: Antti Autti, Jussi Oksanen, Ville Paumola, Petja Piiroinen and Heikki Sorsa. In addition Luhtanen, Partanen&Pikkujämsä.

Who are the sickest photographers?

Motocross Andrea Barnett, Simon Cudby and Matt Rice. Snowboarding Rami Hanafi, Tero Repo and Ilari Suhonen. Other stuff Mika Lukkinen&Mikko Lagerstedt.

What is the most interesting sport or another thing to go for photo shooting?

I think that the most interesting sector is wild animal photography! I can´t be like Steve Irwin because he had so crazy ideas but same like stuff.

Okey. Now we know enough in your photography life. What do you want to do in the future?

Permanent job, of course. My opinion is that the most interesting way would be forestry development opportunities arising from climate change, for example. In a nut case the job should be interesting and I earn enough money to my hobbies. Besides I hope that I will get the photo shoot project. I would want to shoot whole of season some riders or snowboarders.

What kind of sport do you agree in the future?

Just MTB but maybe someone else.

What kind of practise would do you do if you would live now on your riding career?

My opinion is that I would try very differend excercises. When I ride it was different but not so much as I would want now. In addition I would eat healthy and I would fixed muscles more than in the past. I would get massage regularly. In winter I would use respirator which is very good for me. I can´t thank enough Milla Saari from Karilainen Sport and Vokant group that they give to me respirators and nowadays I can engage in outdoor activities without any problems!

If you can´t say your parents who is the most important person in your riding career?

Juha Hallberg. He was very important for me and without him my career would have been over earlier. At the same time I can´t discredit contribution of all other.

Who was your best friend in pratice?

I rode very much with Jari Kuisma and Toni Salokangas. I must say that either.

28.7/2013

17.12/2011

My own motocross and enduro career is stopped
-I have so many injuries and the finance crise..
I think I´ll buy a brand new bike in the future!
I got more motivations if I saw cool MX bike -Erno Aro
is decided to do come back on the tracks and he is
building the winner bike the next summer!
At last summer I visited MX competitions where
I saw so great whips by Riku Viljakainen and Miika Oinonen
-then I get flash back that it would be so funny to ride
and enjoy..

-Mikko-

20.5/2006

I ride my new bike, KTM 300EXC -it´s very great bike.
At the moment I try find my better suspensions adjustments.

28.2/2006

At the moment I have only one chance in Riihimäki winter competition
because my KTM gearbox is damaged and I´m not sure now why is reason. Although I can solve the problem in a few days I don´t take part in Jyväskylä competition.

13.2/2006

First competition of season 2006 is over. The race is such a easy
althought my position is not good (hole of B class 27. ).
In fact my race is bad because some time ago I was sick
and I ride less than 10 times in snow.
Next race is in Sipoo 25.2.

23.12/2005

I´m take a brake on riding because my rear suspension is
not working. Next year I try to do it..comeback!

2.9/2005

In a nutshell I go to school at Jämsänkoski and I ride their
own team. It´s easier ride than alone because now I learn more
a short time.

12.5/2005

It is fine that I can ride without pain. At the moment I have many hours with my bike
and I hurted only my knees yesterday but it is a good condition now...next weekend my planning is more training because it is only way on the top!!!

21.4/2005

I have a ride a motorcycle a few times before my shoulder operation
and therefore I´m very happy.
It´s good idea nowaday that I don´t take any risks
because I hate all injuries -maybe you know that.
On the other hand although I go for a ride next weekend
I can´t take any risks.

22.2/2005

I have a virus disease and I´m now quite a normally.
I got it three weeks ago somewhere -hard cheese, of course.
Therefore I can´t ride a motorcycle not until
after a coule weeks. In fact it´s break due to that my
lien is a little bit enlarged and on that account
it can be broken more easier than in good condition.

Naturally I don´t want to take risks because
it´s brainless ride and crushed.

26.1/2005

My first conditioning at this winter and after the shoulder operate
was happened! I took my skies and went to the track.
It´s fine that my shoulder works vey well now because I can ski
than in former days.

On that account I can ride a motorcycle maybe after a couple weeks.

24.12/2004

It was a nice day when I visited 22.12 at
last time in a check control, I hope. Allowing for that
I have a half year check control but it´s precaution and
it´s on principle affect just little.
Now I know that riding is possible beginning
February and I can work since turn of the year.

Onwards I cant say anything when
I take part in competition. Maybe it´s happen
at early as midway March maybe not.

22.11/2004

Next wednesday I visited a second check control.
My shoulder is now OK and I can move without a sling.
I think that it´s very nice because now I look out
almost normal guy.

It´s nearly impossible say how can I ride a motorcycle
in winter. But in any case I am plan that I try ride
in the end of January.

My opion is that I can find my skills and ride a good races
if my shoulder work normally ways.

21.10/2004

Yesterday I had a check control on my shoulder
with my trust doctor. My shoulder tooks X-ray
and then I know that its OK.
Ossify is perfekt and at the same time I
saw that more graphic how the shoulder is operated.

I have a sling over three weeks and I must to do
a training in muscle. It´s hard job but it´s
necessity...

7.10/2004

Operatioin is finished and I am
very satisfied that my shoulder is painless.

The operation is tough because
in my scapula cutted a little bony chip and
cord slice. The cuts screwed with two
screws in my joint cavity

2.10/2004

Show in Hartola is ended.
It´s a good thing that my shouldert
is at the monet OK! But next Tuesdayt
it´s operating because it don´t workt
MX or enduro.

25.9/2004

Show in Hankasalmi is ended and I am unhurt
and therefore I´m satisfied. The next show is
2.10 in Hartola
and my fans are welcome there...

22.8/2004

At the moment I am very relieved because
I know that my shoulder operated in November.
I would get it earlier but I can´t do it because my
Matriculation Examination is then.

2.7/2004

Today I visit my trust doctor in Helsinki. There we decide
that my shoulder be going to operate -more accurately
observation instead of open-cast.

Naturally I can´t ride a motorcycle maybe 4 month.
Main issue is that my shoulder could be some day so
good that I can ride.

Tomorrow I bought a new KTM. It´s similar than my older
but it´s build better technic cmponents.

3.6/2004

I have little allergy indication or flu anew and therefore
I can´t rehabilitate my shoulder. By the way I am be afraid
because I know that it´s not at least the best condition.

21.5/2004

At the moment I decided that I don´t arrive in Kouvola!
It arise from that my shoulder is luxation. Although it´
it´s almost in order I feel that it´s fond go for a ride in
competition because I get in be afraid when I hurt
my shoulder again.

I get fact of my shoulder on July because I go to
doctor half year check control on account of earlier oparative.
Before then shoulder operative thinking is fond because
nobody doesn´t profile my shoulder 3rd time at random.

15.5/2004

I shave knife on my little finger. I don´t
agree that they put tricks on my finger because
it´s faster get ready to race if it´s glued.
For all that it seems that I ride in Kouvola

13.5/2004

I am get ready to race in Kouvola! At the moment
I feel that my shoulder is OK but it doesn´t mean
that it´s luxation free. It´s good thing
that shoulder is not painfull and I can ride a little bit
on a rock field.

I hope that I can ride in the next race only a sand track.
Luckily it´s possible in Kouvola because I have a good
memory a few years ago in juniors cup there.

For the nonce I can ride a sand a quite good but
rock field I hate yet(more than ever because I can´t take
any risks).

8.5/2004

I ride in field and I abide instability.
For all that I take part in Kouvola sprint
because I like ride in moorland.
It´s bad thing that my shoulder is hurted again
because I can´t ride 100% power.
On the other hand I can´t ride live or death style.

In spite of that I ride almost old style or big risk if I ride
on competition.
But you know that shoulder is a little bit painfull
if it luxation...

25.4/2004

I have little allergy indication or flu and therefore
I can´t ride because it´s hardly possible
because I can´t breath well.
I decided that I wait for a time and
then I do come back in SX track.

14.4/2004

I ride first time bare track in Vantaa(Lavanko).
I remark that I can´t ride 100% power
after long non ride period. On the other hand
I scared that I hurt my shoulder again.

I ride MTB too week ago some times in snow.
At the moment I can´t ride because there are too dirty
-and maybe you know that I don´t ride on road.

26/3/2004

Shit happen! It was very slipper and
I hurt my shoulder, of course.
I hope that it´s serious injury but you know
that it´s propably "that is it" again..

21/3/2004

I test my new EVS knee braces and
I am very satisfied because I have many knee broblems.

I am seek "old speed" and I know that
it´s turn up when I ride more and more. But a little brolem
is that I don´t have to strenght than a few kilometer
but I believe that it´s fixed when I find time.

Day weather is warm and maybe you know that riding is
nearly swimming. iIt´s bad thing that I have frozen fingers
because I like to ride snow when it´s a little bit melted but
it´s hard to ride when fingers are numb with cold.

17/3/2004

Finally new sit!

I can´t ride now because matriculaion examination is this
month. In spite of test I try ride a little bit.
