Let`s assume for a second that you would have become a professional motorcyclist, what would be your discipline?

“It would be offroad for sure, and motocross. I personally think it’s the pinnacle of the sport with the most action, adrenaline, audience and the most challenging discipline when it comes to being focused and being mentally and physically fit. All disciplines require pretty much the same skills to some degree and I have mad respect for all riders, but I would go for motocross.”

So, if at some point, you get tired of skiing you would audition to become a factory rider?

“(laughs) I strongly doubt that I will get tired of skiing and I am nowhere close to doing what the guys are able to do. But, theoretically, if I had the chance and would be able to get somewhere near to the performance required, I would love to be a part of the team. But that would be a long long way for me, so I’d rather stay on skis for now.”
