Tell us about your experience in the USA
You know that I’m from Norway, and when I decided to come here to Torrevieja it was like California for me, but California in USA is different still, and of course freestyle motocross is from there. California is the place that you must go if you want to push hard at fmx, skate, surf... but I had, and I still have a lot of events here in Europe. Now I usually spend four months of the year over there. When I went there for the first time, in 2008, I stayed at Jeremy “Twich” Stenberg’s house for two months because Brian Deegan said to me “Andrè go ask Jeremy, he is a good guy”. I had a good feeling about Jeremy before California, but after that our friendship grew, as it did with Nate Adams and Robbie Maddison. It was the best for me to be there with those guys, the best riders in the world - riding and training together. After Twich’s house I went to Ronnie Faisst’s house and in 201011 I rented a house for three months and then last year I bought it. I can’t live in USA all the time because I miss my family and the whole European style, but most importantly it’s because I need to clean my body of American food. The training there is the best for an fmx rider because you have good weather all the time, awesome fmx park set-ups and the best riders to train with. You need to come there for the next interview.
