Trail addicted: since 1991​

Rider type: Epic Enduro days and bike mountaineering, occasional bike park days, tried many disciplines: XC race, DH race, Marathon. Uphill with the help of lifts or shuttles if available, but otherwise happy to climb by my own power, sometimes with the bike on my back to reach the really remote trails. Downhill I like a mix of rocky technical challenge and flow
