From a passion for movement to a search for airtime – My path to mountain biking
Who am I and what defines me?
I grew up in a sporty family where exercise and adventure always played a big role. Early on, I sought the thrill in every sport – whether it was freeride skiing, kitesurfing, or mountain biking, I was always fully passionate.
Even as a child, no stair or curb on the way to school was safe from me – everything became a playground. At the age of 10, my father started taking me regularly on the local trails, and I was immediately thrilled. From the age of 15, weekends were almost exclusively dedicated to mountain biking. But it wasn't just about riding: with a watering can and shovel, trails were built and optimized (#nodignoride).
Shortly thereafter, I discovered dirt biking and with it my great passion for jumps. Since then, it's all about airtime – I just can't get enough of it.
Life on two wheels: My passion for MTB
Racing or cycling?
For me, it's not about speed, but about flow, stylish moves, and maximum air-time. Mountain biking is more than a sport – it's pure freedom!
Best MTB experience?
Every day on the bike counts! Unforgettable are road trips with friends, successes, and setbacks – they make the adventure perfect.
Why do I love mountain biking?
It's the grin at the end of the trail and the time spent with friends. Meeting people and sharing the passion for biking makes this sport special.
Proudest moment?
When my first sponsor approached me – a huge milestone! I've been part of the Platzangst team for over three years and am proud to represent their values.
