Why Downhill-Dropdown-Northshoring...?

That's why...! We Love Pornstars, and the Mountainbike industry hires them for exhibitions and events. Good for them - better for us. Jenna Jameson is a Marzocchi - Girl (Marzocchi - Suspension systems) since 2004 and she appears in several Mountain-Bike DVDs.

CrossCountry, Uphill...Why?

My first downhill-race was in 1989. No suspension in the back, no fancy RockShock or Manitou in the front. The only safety was a old polysterol cycling helmet (bell) and 2.1" Panaracers Smoke (for the grip). I was scared and nervous because i never did something like this before and i saw how steep it was going down thru a forest with big boulders and a lots of mud. I fall over several times and i had some bruises and scratches but, I LOVED IT.

I attended almost every regional race after my first race and in 1992 i joined a mountain bike team called "TEAM CHICKEN" and from there on i began to take it serious as a licenced pro-mountainbiker. That ment that i had to do at least 10 races per year and earn points. Meaning being within the top 20. The Sponsors we had: MTB-Cycletech, RockShocks, TIOGA, RaiffeisenBank and PowerBar.

My biggest success was in 1994 March, 3rd at the Aegeri-downhill-race. In my category (1974) participated 112 Downhill-Racer. After that i went to races in Italy, Austria, Germany and France. My unluckiest day was in 1998 at the Grindelwald Downhill-Race, Smashing in to a tree and having my kneedisk holding in my hand........locked very tasty.

DROPDOWNS and JUMPS

GOOD OLD DAYS

Dropdowns ...oh please yes! I miss the days where i was hanging around with christian, michi, flo and markus doing the most amazing sport in the world and maybe in the universe.














Dropdowns and bigjumps at Albishorn, downhill training in Hochstuckli, braking bones in Laax at the Redbull-bike-attack. My records of injuries is long but i am proud on every bruise, scar and scratches that my body took away.
