How did you get started in BMX?
That’s always a good queation. My brother Swen got me into it. He was always riding a miniramp with a bunch of friends. I always came along and watched them from the sidelines, because I didn’t have a bike yet. I think I got my first bike when I was like 12 or 13. Back then I was riding a jumpbox fort he most part and I pretty soon I became a member of a show team. Today I’m happy if I can clear a box.

What do you like riding the most?
Street! But I also enjoy riding miniramps. Unfortunately I don’t get to ride one too often.

What do you do besides riding?
I like going out with my friends, partying or just chilling at a lake or something. I also go to the local swimming pool sometimes and do some high diving. Occasionally I’ll take my track bike out for a spin. I also bought a videocam a while ago and I’m really into editing BMX clips.

What other cities do you like for BMX?
I like Hamburg the most. I just like the city and the people there. There are tons of spots in that city!

What kind of music are you into?
I like Hip Hop, but not the G-Unit kind of stuff. I listen to all kinds of music really, but I don’t like Techno at all!

Are you a computer nerd?
I don’t, am I?I admit that I'm on my computer quite a bit, but that’s mostly because of all the music I have on there.

How many pets do you have at your house?
Umm...we have three cats, two dogs, a boa constrictor, and two monitor lizards. Out of this zoo, two cats belong to my girlfriend and me.

Are you still available?
Depends for what!?! But no, I’ve been in a relationship for five years now and I’m happy.

Any thanks?
I’d like to thank my girlfriend Elena for being so understanding when I go on the road without her. She also nurses me when I get hurt, which is nice. I’d also like to thank AllRideBMX/UGP for hooking me up and my other sponsors (Verde, Globe Shoes) for their support. And thanks to all the people that I ride with.
