The blueberry hat I got caught
I got caught
In the early 90s, by a tv-crew on a sports channel doing a thing about speedway on bicycles in my hometown Vetlanda.
When i look back on my carrier i realize this following story are from memories i created by a vhs-tape my father recorded. I guess i was to young to remember the moment, or maybe i just didn’t give a shit about that..to...But it’s a nice picture in my head to this day.
Well, It’s about a beginning that started with my brother getting a few questions from the tv-crew.
One in particular, but i just can’t remember exactly how it was put, what i do remember is my brother saying ”kämpigt,kämpigt” and in english it goes something like ”it’s a tough challenge” after he finished four laps of cycle-speedway.
Then, the blueberry hat that covers my head, rises up on a small wobbly bicycle onto the television and the last words from the show were interesting ”is this Vetlanda's next big speedway star” I mean, i was a few years old and then a few years older when i watched the tape but the comment follows me to this day and probably for a longer period of time.
I actually never wanted to call myself a speedway star but those words from the commentator and my achievements as a speedway rider from Vetlanda just made me write the beginning of my earlier speedway MEMORY.

Tonight i got piece by piece a complete picture straight, from the moment the 🛬 wheels touched (then called) McCarran international airport Las Vegas, and as most people can imagen. The lights from the city dazzles the eyes at first.
Taking a cab to the excalibur hotel i was curiously watching the streets filled with humans and the blinking lights from the uncountable hotels along the way . The walk towards the check-in counter was mind blowing.
Once again a hole lot of lights hitting the eyes but now more kind of an even bright light and the volume starting to get really loud from every directions. Voices and screams from winning gamblers, loosing gamblers, slot machines, roulette balls landing on it’s numbers.
All while knights with there swords makes shows under the roof of this castle to a hotel. Fist time experience of this kind of entryway reminds me of people talking about there emotions they get from watchin a speedway match live for the first time. WOW 🤩
It’s kind of a long walk as i remember but all distractions makes it enjoyable and exciting, And what will come to show will fill the night with a bizarre story.
Need to cope with my "zoomed out” mood now for a day or five before i start writing about elephants 🙋🏼♂️
