Early life interests

I was born on April 19, 2001, in Winterthur, Switzerland. My first experience on two wheels came at the age of four when I received a kids’ bike as a birthday gift. Even back then, I already had creative ideas about how to use it, something that became clear when I decided to ride down the eight-step basement stairs at home. It was obvious early on, that bikes would become a lasting fascination for me.

When I started school, I faced my first real challenges. Concentrating on subjects that didn’t interest me was difficult, and the structure of the school system felt illogical to me at the time. Later on, I was diagnosed with ADD (attention-deficit disorder), which finally explained why everything often felt too fast-paced, hard to process, and lacking purpose. Despite these struggles, two things always gave me joy and balance: riding bikes and improvising on the piano, especially jazz. Growing up in a family of artists, with both my parents being professional musicians, music was always around me. To this day, the piano and music in general remain a big part of my life.

In early 2010, I discovered Minecraft, a video game without fixed rules or goals, something that resonated deeply with me because it reminded me of riding bikes or playing the piano: creative and free. Around that same time, I saw my first street trials edit by Scottish professional rider Danny MacAskill, which left a huge impression on me. By 2013, I started uploading my first gaming videos to YouTube. Through gaming, I learned graphic design and video editing, skills that have since become essential to many of the things I do today.

When it came time to choose a career path, I wasn’t sure where to go. I knew making a living from gaming videos, casually riding bikes, or playing the piano wasn’t realistic. An office job or a business career didn’t appeal to me either. So, I decided to start an apprenticeship as a restaurant specialist. It taught me discipline, structure, and how to stay consistent. During the first year of that apprenticeship in 2018, I came across a video that changed everything.


The spark for biking & projects

My journey into biking truly began in 2018 when a video from Fabio Wibmer reignited a deep passion for the sport. With my background in video editing and graphic design, I quickly realized that I could combine those creative skills with my love for riding. My goal became to create biking videos and content in general that people could relate to, enjoy, and learn from. Since then, I’ve been sharing biking videos and photos across various social media platforms, building a growing global community.

One of the major projects I started is Trialfest, a global street trials group ride series that I organize every year. Each edition takes place in a different city and country, bringing riders from all over the world together. The goal is simple: to create lasting friendships, share riding techniques, and celebrate our passion for the sport in a fun, community-driven way.


Collaborations and Achievements

Over the past few years, I’ve grown a lot as a professional mountain bike street trials athlete and content creator. In 2022, I was proud to receive the Creator of the Year award in the sports category, a milestone that marked how far this journey has come. Along the way, I’ve built lasting partnerships with leading brands across various industries, all of whom share my passion and vision.

My story has been featured in newspapers and magazines, giving me the opportunity to inspire others and spread my love for the sport beyond the riding scene. But at the heart of it all, what I enjoy most is being out there, performing live at events across Switzerland and Europe, connecting with people, and sharing the energy that makes street trials so unique.


Looking forward

As I look to the future, I’m excited to keep pushing the boundaries of mountain bike street trials and explore new creative directions. My goal is to continue growing the global community, inspiring riders of all levels, and helping the sport evolve in new ways. I’m excited to dive into new projects, collaborate with new brands, and take on challenges that will continue shaping my journey, not just as an athlete and creator, but as a person.
