The passionate mountain biker from Hochsauerland has been riding his MTB since 1998: it all started with a rigid beginner's hardtail in the local forests back in Bergisches Land. A suitable suspension fork was soon needed and the tours became more challenging. After several years in the various downhill, freeride, street/dirt jump, XC and MTB marathon disciplines, the trained ADFC mountain bike guide, mental bike guide, DSHS bike instructor and author of the book Mountainbike Fahrtechnik (BLV - more information) still prefers to ride in the great outdoors - fun single trails and pleasure tours are the passion of the riding technique expert.
