Pål Anders started doing motor cross in 1991. A few years ago, he found out that Norway was too small for him. He wanted to take off internationally, and chose Enduro. Enduro means endurance, and set very hard requirements to the competitor’s physical and psychic shape. If you ask him, he’ll tell you that endurance and strength are his best qualities.

In the spring of 2007, Ullevålseter won the celebrity contest “Ice dance” on TV2, a national TV channel. Anna Puschkova was his dance partner.
