Favourite Trick No special one, but everything that is whipped (like Whips, 9 O'Clock, Whipflip, Nacnac variations....)
Favourite Session Every session with my friends is cool, especially if it is with my Upforce buddies, Andre Villa, Fredd Johansson, Morgan Carlsson, Martin Koren, Jimbo Verburgh & crew and just everybody who shares the same spirit and loves to play on the dirtbike
Worst moment in FMX I used to say when I smashed my ankle in 2002, but now I would say: when the FIM entered FMX. Federations are not good for the freedom of the sport
Best moment in FMX every single day when I am realising that I make a living with my passion and it doesn't even feel like work!
Motto Live your dreams and enjoy what you are doing. Think positive!
Erfolge FMX / Career FMX

2008 and beyond: I decided that in my age I should not be watching for results anymore, so from now on I will not post every single contestresult anymore. FMX is about much more then competing and my best result is if I am able to put a big smile into every single face in the crowd, into every rider-buddys face plus my face as well. But I rode at three Red Bull X-Fighters events, most of the Masters of Dirt tourstops and the german rounds of the IFMXF as well as a couple of cool rider-owned jams in 2008... for those who care about the staticstics ;-)
