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.

Your tandem flight pilot will be there to answer all your questions about the paragliding flight. During the flight filming and photography would also be ideal by our photo rod because of the calm conditions in the air.
After about 10 – 15 minutes your tandem flight is over, and perhaps you will catch – the flight Virus…

Paragliding Thermal Flight PLUS**, Samerberg
/
Bavaria, Germany
The Thermal flight Plus lets you at least half an hour to see the world from above. In strong thermals and sometimes turbulent air you feel the enormous strength of updrafts, so you and your tandem pilot can in good conditions drive over the top of the mountains.
Sometimes you can go even higher along with your tandem pilot, close to the clouds. These tandem flights operate mainly in the spring and early summer.
Please note: The strongest thermals for these flights are in the months of March to August. In other seasons, the pilot can achieve very long flight times only on certain days. The advantage in the late summer and fall: The air is perfectly calm – soaring and gliding!
Please ask your tandem flight pilot on the spot about filming and photography, he can best assess the situation on the ground.
After about 30-60 minutes you begin with the landing. After this experience you will be full of impressions. Many images and feelings often come to mind days later…
Services:
-Full instructions about take-off, flight, landing phases with your tandem pilot.
-Of course, you are insured with us, your pilot signs all tandem flight insurance in your presence.
-During briefing you get a helmet, gloves and in bad weather a flight suit.
-Paragliding takes place together with your tandem pilot.
