BIO
Before I started biking, I played successfully handball for a long time. But somehow I felt that I needed a new challenge. Finally I was introduced to biking by a few kids from my neighborhood.
Further I got my first sponsorships in 2008 and I began being a part in competitions and movies. After my vocational training I was finally able to make the big step to start living my dream in a full time job. By now, I’m riding my bike since 15 years.
INTERVIEW
What are you looking for to accomplish?
I still want to do what I love for many years and of course also with success and no injuries. Also I want to actualize one’s own things in some larger video projects.
What would be your greatest achievement?
There are a lot of things… haha but first I’d like to win some bigger contest and travel the world with my bike.
What kind of difficulties does your sport’s performance involve?
You often have to surpass yourself and take risks.
What makes you feel satisfied when performing your sport?
Freedom in all varieties. Enjoying the nature and the experience you get every time.
Where do you practice your techniques when being alone?
The last years I have been traveling a lot and unfortunately I don’t have my own spot.
But favorites are Amir Kabbanis, Peter Henkes and Patrick Schweikas spots. At the moment I finally build my own compound! :)
What do you do during your training which is key to your success?
To be focused all the time and I try to have fun somehow.
When are you most nervous when competing?
The night before and the minutes before I have to drop in…
Then I always have to yawn, haha.
Who would you say is your biggest fan and why?
I would say my parents and my sister… hopefully haha, but actually I don’t know.
What is the best piece of advice you have been ever given?
Who fights can lose. Who doesn’t fight has already lost.
What are your future plans?
You never stop learning! That’s why I will always continue to evolve and for sure traveling around to see the world. I want to live my professional career as long as possible.
What are your tips for those who begin now?
Have fun, stay focused, take your time and pull it through.

Paragliding Thermal Flight, Samerberg
/
Bavaria, Germany
The Thermal flight offers the feeling of the thermals in the air during the flight and the paraglider is a bit longer.
Your tandem pilot will be looking through the power of the sun, causing updrafts. Besides, many circles are flown and maintained constantly at new sites for even better thermals out. Using these thermals your tandem pilot can extend the flight time artificially.
Please note: By mid-September the thermals are usually strong enough to extend the flight. In other seasons there can be only for a single day.
Often filming and photography are possible during the thermal flights due to the still relatively quiet conditions in the air.
After 15 – 30 minutes, you begin with the landing. Many passengers already dreaming for the next paragliding flight…
Services:
-Detailed briefing on the launch, flight, landing phases with your tandem pilot.
-We have assured the tandem flight, your pilot signs all flight insurance in your presence.
-During the preparation you get a helmet, gloves, and in bad weather a flight suit.
-Tandem flight together with your pilot.
Flight time 10-25 minutes
Total time 1.5 Hours
