Fun Facts

If your bike had a name – what would it be?
I’m really happy with my Allebike Wild, so it simply has to be Wild. 
What’s the very first thing you do right after crossing the finish line?
I take a few deep breaths, then go straight for the nearest recovery shake.
Which trail or course lives rent free in your head?
A great flow trail that two friends and I found up in the mountains of Slovenia. No idea what it was called, but it was a lot of fun.
If you could choose – which song would play at every start line?
During the Uddevalla MTB Show at Glimmingen Motorstadion, Sandstorm played right before the start gate dropped. It was epic, so that one.

A Corny Big bar is my go-to, love it. 
What’s the most unexpected thing on your bucket list?
I actually don’t have a bucket list.

Why choose when you can have both? But if I have to pick, it’s ice cream.

Not really, to be honest.
Morning training or evening ride?
Morning training! Even though I’m not really a morning person, so an evening ride might actually suit me better.
