Biography

Andersson was Swedish National Trials champion in 1985, and a member of the Swedish Trial des Nations team that finished 5th in Piano Rancho, Italy. The other team members were Lars Karlsson, Urban Lindholm and Martin Karlsson.{{cite web |url=http://trialonline.org/01%20TRIAL.FIM/170.TDN/05%20102%20TDN%20INDEX%20PAYS/05%20102%20TDN%20INDEX%20SUEDE.htm |title=sweden 1985 |publisher=trialonline.org |accessdate=31 May 2021 }}

After relocating to Texas, Andersson competed in North America during the 1987 season. He finished 3rd in the US NATC Pro series behind former world champion Bernie Schreiber and Ryan Young. Riding a little further north he won the Canadian CMA National Trials Championship.{{cite web |url=https://www.motorcyclingcanada.ca/cma-archives/historical-records-of-the-cma/national-champions/ |title=No 1 Plate |publisher=Canadian Motorcycle Association |accessdate=31 May 2021 }}

He retained his Canadian title in 1988 and moved up to 2nd place in the NATC final standings, beaten by Ryan Young.

1989 was to be Andersson's final year in North America. He once again finished runner-up in the NATC Pro series to Young, after winning the Texas, Utah and both final Washington rounds.{{cite web |url=http://trialonline.org/01%20TRIAL.FIM/300.PAYS.CHAMPIONNATS/22%20101%20AMERIQUE/22%20200%20ETAS%20UNIS/22%20400%20USA%20ANNEES/22%20402%20USA%20ANNEE%2080/22%20101%20USA%201989.htm
