On the bike at 2.5 years old — Luke on his MTB passion
Who am I and what defines me?
I'm Luke, and I've been on two wheels since I was 2 1/2 years old. I ride a lot with my friends in various bike parks and often model for different brands. I don't just ride for Platzangst, but also for Eightshot Bikes and Abus.
From first rides to MTB talent – Luke talks about his passion for biking
Racing or Cycling?
The biggest step I definitely took was when I switched from a hardtail to my new Eightshot full suspension bike. From then on, I dared more and tackled bigger jumps. But generally, my first real dirt jump attempts were definitely a highlight.
Best MTB Experience?
The combination of speed, adrenaline, nature, and fun with friends is what makes it so special for me!

Proudest Moment?
There's no specific moment, but rather many small ones. Every time I manage a new jump, I feel extremely happy!
Tip for Young Talents:
I'm not a pro rider myself, but I always ride best when I'm having fun and don't feel any pressure!

As a freerider, Jonas knows what counts: maximum freedom of movement, durable materials, and a style that impresses both on and off the trails. His favorites from the Platzangst collection combine exactly that – perfect for wild descents, spectacular jumps, and relaxed sessions with the crew.
