Get your beach volleyball on with these pro tips
Best beach activity ever? Sure is if you ask David and Jonatan

Everything doesn’t have to be pre-planned events and city life. How about enjoying some good ol’ beach time this summer? But whilst chilling on the beach is for some people, others tend to get a little restless and this is where a game of beach volleyball comes in handy. An awesome game whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned pro. Round up some mates, get a ball and a net and get practicing. It keeps your energy levels high, gives you a sick tan and makes that post-game lake dip all the sweeter.
Need some pointers on how to get started and your game flowing better? Professional athletes David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig shares some of their best tips and tricks here.

Martin Söderström and Emil Johansson
See Martin Söderström and Emil Johansson put their style and excellency in focus at Järvsö, Sweden.
Whilst some love the city others love the mountains and we’re here for it. Everybody enjoys a hit of adrenaline and what better way to do it than sending it down a mountain on a bike? Yes, we’re of course talking about downhill mountain biking. Kind of like alpine skiing but on a bike - you take the chair lift up and then ride down different colour-graded tracks with obstacles like berms, jumps, drops and rock gardens. Beginner or pro - it’s a really good day out that will get your blood pumping and stoke levels shooting through the roof.
From north to south, Sweden has a bunch load of cool bike parks that cater to all levels of riders. So whether you are a three-time World Champion like Emil Johansson or a happy amateur, these spots are worthy of a road trip. Check them out here.
