 A former world-class freestyle motocross   rider and  innovator in the  sport of FMX. Known for inventing the   Underflip and several other  tricks. Ailo started riding motocross at   the age of twelve, after saving  money for his first dirt bike for four   years. Born in Tromsø Norway,  and growing up in Maze and Alta in   Finnmark, a county in the extreme  northeast of Norway, which by land   borders Troms county to the west,  Finland to the south and Russia to   the east. With very cold winters and  short summers, motocross was not   the most common or popular sport among  the kids in the neighbourhood.   Ailo continued to practice and got in at  the Norwegian College of Elite   Sports in Oslo, as one of three students  in motorsports.
