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 2015.07.29
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 Rent pilot for a Day, Samerberg
/
Bavaria, Germany
Your Paragliding Pilot shows you the most beautiful peaks of the Bavarian Alps in 3 – 4 tandem flights.
Depending on the wind direction, you can, for example, fly by magnificent peaks of Hochfelln in the early morning. These flights offer scenic views of the Chiemsee and with luck of the Salzburg basin.
At noon you could experience paragliding the summit Hochries. Of course, only after a long lunch on the summit hut!
The tandem flight in the afternoon can, for example, start from Brauneck.
If there is enough time and the stomach of our guest still “airworthy”, we provide paragliding near Blomberg as an evening flight.
Fly with your personal tandem pilot on a day three or four peaks in the Chiemgau, overlooking the Chiemsee and the Alps.
Services:
-Tandem flights from Hochfelln, Hochries, the Kampenwand or other mountains.
-Shuttle to all flight areas.
-All mountain rides with the respective cableway.
-View photos or video of the tandem flight day.
Our flights “pilot for a day” are only weekdays from Monday to Friday and only by appointment!
Your pilot will inform you about the weather while flying a paraglider, the technique and the interplay of landforms and wind.
You can concentrate entirely on the view from above and the fly – on request the video from the entire day.
Flight time depending on thermals
