From a passion for movement to a search for airtime – My path to mountain biking
Who am I and what defines me?
Hi, I'm Alex, 10 years old, and I'm totally crazy about mountain biking! On the bike, I feel free and happy — it's just my thing. I love challenges, whether it's a technical trail or an exciting race. And what defines me? I always give 100% and have a lot of fun — and usually a smile on my face!
Racing or Cycling?
Racing, for sure! It's such a great feeling when the race starts and the adrenaline kicks in. But honestly: The main thing is that I can ride my bike. Whether it's racing or just shredding with friends in the bike park — I love being on two wheels!
Life on two wheels: My passion for MTB
Best MTB experience?
My very first podium was an unforgettable moment – I was super proud and happy. But actually, every day on the bike is special. When I discover new trails or land a jump I couldn't before, that's just the best!
Why do I love mountain biking?
Because it means freedom. There's nothing cooler than being outside, racing through the woods, and forgetting everything around you. Plus, I've met so many nice people through mountain biking – it's like one big family.
Proudest moment?
My 15 podium finishes in 17 races!(currently!!) I never thought I could achieve that, and it totally motivates me to keep pushing. And of course, I'm also proud that I never give up, even when things get tough.
Tip for young talents:
Always have fun, even when things go wrong! Practice makes perfect, so just keep at it and always believe in yourself. And very important: Always be kind to other riders – we all share the same passion, and that's what makes biking so special.
