Bikefestival Riva del Garda, Italy

Hey guys,

good times went by, Riva del Garda was super sick.

The FMB bronze event was the first contest I rode after my long breake of being injured. I couldn't really realize that I got 1st in that first event. Soooo stoked, best thing could happen.
Here a video of the contests there:

Once again I can tell you:
When you get an injury, please take your time for training and rehab. It's a really bad feeling being off the bike and watch all the other guys riding and progressing, but it doesn't make sence riding again with may be 50% fitness and risk another injury.
So for me training and being seriously fit got an completly new focus in my life as a pro mountainbiker.
When you are 100% ready to go you feel way easier and relaxed and you can trasfer your skills from training into contest riding way easier. It definetly worth it!

Enjoy some pictures from Riva. Thx Tibor Simai, Stephan Koch, all the Pinzgau locals and good friends I met again for the great times. You guys rock!

Cheers,

Andi

Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar 7 - Liveshow

Hey guys,

time went by again and I'm finally back home after really stressfull times.

First I spent one week in Vienna for building the Vienna Air King course with Andi Brewi. Due to bad weather conditions I decided not riding the event, cause it was too risky for me after my long injury breake.
I did the co moderation of the Red bull live webcast, that was really exciting.

Than I was invited to the live sports show of Red Bull which has been so cool. I should jump into the Hangar 7 what was a really nice experience for me. Who jumped into the Hangar 7 before with a bike? ;)
The interview there included the Vienna Air King event as well as my plans for Suzuki Nine Knights this year and injuries as an pro athlete. Really important things though.
Watch the whole show HERE.
So stoked as well that I was allowed shooting some photos with Markus Greber there. So I promise you, we did really really nice shots. Be curious.

Thx to the guys of MC-Ramp for the mobile jump box.

Show was really good, a great pleasure being part of it.

So check out some impressions of Red Bull Hangar 7 - enjoy:

Getting ready for 2012

Hey all,

last weeks have just been awesome. Weather is getting warmer and warmer and it feels so good riding dirtjumps and trails again after such a strong winter.
For me it's the most important thing getting 100% healthy again after my two injuries and surgeries 2011. So I spent lots of time in Sportschule Puch, on my cross country skies as well as in my home sling trainer and in physio rehab.
I can tell you what - take the time after injuries for getting really really ready again. Better a few more weeks off the bike and in physio and the gym then risking another crash cause of a not perfect trained body.
I had just a few dirtjump sessions right now and from the first moment on I realized that I've enough power and a really good feeling and that's what grows in your confidence to your body again and THAT's the most important thing in extreme sports.

So stay safe and use your brain before going out for a ride.
See you at the Vienna Air King in about 10 days. First FMB event 2012.

Here some impressions of my last weeks - enjoy:

Sling home training, best thing ever!

Local show Bikenight Kesselhaus

Hey boys and girls,

a few days ago Andi Brewi and myself had the chance to promote our sport at a really unique location.

The so called Kesselhaus 3km next to my hometown is a nice party location and the Team presentation of the Ralph Denk road cycling team was the event we could test our mobile ramp for the first time.

Thx MC-Ramps for that amazing set up, now we are ready to ride shows all day, every day and where ever you want :)

What an amazing feeling to be back on the dirtbike after really long time. Shows worked out really good and even the trick level was really good in the last few runs. Stoked to see at what little places we can promote our sport to an nice audience of more than 300 people.

Here you can watch a little VIDEO about the training runs with a short interview:

Pictures are telling more than 1000 words:

See you soon,

Andi

La Palma Recap

Hey all,

I know, a few weeks passed by already, but it's never too late for a nice trip recap.

It was my first time on the beautiful isle La Palma and I have to say: Wow, what a place for riding bikes in winter times!

I had a super fun week with Guido Tschugg, Rob-J, Daniel Schäfer, Jasper Jauch, Steffi Marth and some more friends.
Danger Dan guided us the whole week long and it was perfect - each day another track, really impressive.

So check out some pictures:

goodbye Germany

Hey guys,

it's just for one week, but for starting riding after a long rehab again the perfect programm I think:

One week freeriding on La Palma, Spain with Guido Tschugg, Rob-J-Heran, Stefan Schlie, Daniel Schäfer and some more nice guys. Can't wait to be back on my bike again.

Giant Faith is ready to go

Enjoy the snow and see you may be at ISPO on Feb. 1st.

Cheerio,

Andi

two day ski trip

Hey all,

puh, back home after two days in winter wonderland.
The Suzuki Nine Knights MTB resort was the place Markus Greber and myself chose for having awesome times in skiing.

The locals are the best ones you can imagine and they showed us the best places I've ever skied in my life. Pure epicness, the whole day long. We did 10250 vertical meters - not on the slopes, just off piste - that's unbelievable.

So I think there is nothing more to say, just enjoy the pictures:

arrived at Schweinies yesterday

day one: deep pow, Markus killin it

Schweini going fast

Dimi from the freeride mag joined us as well. Hans behind Markus

day two: duuuude, perfect weather

in the end of the day we hiked up the peak.

epic views

next to the last mountain in the pictures is my hometown ;) 

Thx everybody for the great times. Really enjoyed it.

Have fun in the snow and never forget - stay save!

cheers

Welcome 2012

Hey guys,

I wish you all a happy new year, good times and lots of success.

For me 2012 started with a week full of action. I spent my time with Andi Brewi and we had so much fun in riding some shows.

First the Kids ski race at Tegernsee was the place to be for us and we rode two shows on a woodern jump. For me it was the first time after my injury on the dirtjump bike again and it felt so good to do some tricks again.

360s again

the crew, thx for everything

After Tegernsee we rode to the Suzuki Nine Knights resort Neukirchen am Großvenediger for the Freestyle night. Dew to bad weather conditions, in fact nearly 1m fresh pow, the bike show got cancled and just the freeskier made a great show for the huge mass of visitors.

So I decided to go powder skiing the next day and it was the best day skiing ever, thx Schweini for guiding.

pow pow and a bit too warm, really bad it got cancled...

Schweini & Berni & Leichen

what a welcome dinner at ferienhotel hubertus

All in all my shoulder feels really good again and that's the most important thing for me at the moment.

See you soon and have great times.


cheers,

Andi
