Stubai Marathon 2009 in Mieders

The “Stubai-Bikemarathon” is one of the races of the TopSix-series.

Trittwerk Swarovski

Take a MTB-frame from Trittwerk, add exclusive parts and cover it up with 40.000 Swarovski crystals. You end up with every biking girl’s dream bike.

Duke 2008

I attended the “Duke at the Park” to practice some techniques and warm-up for the season. The weather forecast promised dark, cloudy conditions but during the race weather turned out to be too good. TOO Good?!? Right! One misunderstanding is that perfect shooting conditions mean a midday sun, what seldom is true. One of my [...]

Nach langer Zeit: Dirt Jump!

Heute habe ich nach langer Zeit wieder mal Fotos vom Dirt Jumpen gemacht. Die Fahrer waren Alfred Scholtze und Matthias Gattringer. Leider hat sich Matthias recht bald verletzt, so daß er sich eigentlich gar nicht richtig einfahren konnte. Dazu gibt es auch eine Slideshow mit viel mehr Fotos!
