The journey of a bike rider
My bike has been my biggest teacher throughout my life, most of my challenges, insights and motivation has come from bikes. It started back in 2006 as a way of hanging out with my friends. It evolved by time and we started jumping, building, learning tricks. It escalated year by year and 2013 I was on my first proffessional podium. After that I had to overcome and learn lots of new things about myself mentally and physically to get to that level again. Working from that I made my first international mark in the FMB world tour in 2018 with a gold level event podium and after that made my best season in yet in 2019 where I got up on the podium in one of the biggest contest in the world, Crankworx Rotorua. That year I ended up as the 7th best rider in the world.
Every step of the way had been giving me a new challenge to overcome. Injuries, doubt, pressure.. All this have made me to work on my shortcomings along the way. I have worked with a mental coach, learned how to meditate, started to live a healty lifestyle, workout and learned about myself and the people around me. All because of I liked riding bikes with my friends.
