Athlete talk
When and how did you start mountain biking?
I bought my first mountain bike in 1995 (a Schwinn Moab S). I saved up the money for it from countless vacation and weekend jobs.
What does mountain biking mean to you personally?
I am fascinated by the combination of riding technique and physical demands. This is unique. I am also a fan of outdoor sports - even after many years, I am still fascinated by MTB.
What does "No Shortcuts" mean to you?
Giving 110 percent commitment, doing something with passion and heart and soul.
