This German talent never forgets the reason he started BMXing in the first place: having fun. This core principle is evident in his riding, which revolves around experiencing as much airtime as possible and having a seriously good time doing it. You can see the liberation and freedom BMXing brings him from the look on his face when he’s competing, and he’s keen to remind people that it’s enjoying yourself and not making money that is crucial. He’s always one to bring new tricks to a contest and is consistently a captivating force to behold.

Starting out

I'd had a few friends who were riding BMX, but unfortunately I couldn't afford my own bike. So I just kept tagging along with my friends and rode their bikes until I finally found an old, broken one next to a trash can. I eagerly began chasing spare parts to fix the thing and once done, the fun took its course…

The road to success

I don't think I took a beaten track to a certain destination; I rather think I rather followed where destiny lead me to. Success or a career are not the important things for me; I rather value the fun I have. Nevertheless, I ambitiously try to reach the goals I set for myself.

Career highlight to date

Opening the RooF BMX Halle 2006, my first flip double whip 2007, travelling more than 200 days in 2008, and my first video job in 2009.

Quote that inspires me

“As long as better is possible, good is not good enough”, Dettmar Cramer

Motto I live by

Yesterday, today still was tomorrow.

If I wasn't...

Never really thought about it, but if I wasn't a BMXer it would most likely be something involving thrills. If I could make a wish, I'd go for being drummer in a rock band!
