What is a normal day for you?
I will start with my week - that is 3-4 days in the gym and 3-4 days on the bike. I get up at 7.30-8 am and after breakfast I go to the fmx park to ride, then I come back for lunch, and I do some work on my computer in the house, then I go to the gym and sometimes I’ll go for a surf. Then I come back for dinner. I’ve a little problem with my body, in that my metabolism is too fast, and I burn all I eat so I need to eat 6-7 times a day!
How is the feeling with your parents now?
It’s pretty good, I went to Norway for Christmas time, and spent a few days with them. I think it’s cool to come back to your home country to visit your family - I’ll go back normally 4-5 times during the year. They understand my work and I’ve a good relationship with them.
And your day-off?
Easy answer..day-off is day-off so I try to do nothing all day! play some games, eat good food and have a massage and spa.
Best rookie?
Chris Mayer
How important is the body in fmx?
The body is very important for this sport, because you need to be skinny, but at the same time you need to be strong and ideally not so tall. You can see Taka Higashino, Jacko Strong, Dany Torres, Tom Pages are not tall guys, so for example during the tzunami flip or cliffangher flip if you are short it’s better..I’m 1,87m, I’m so big for this sport hahaa.. Now I’m 30 years old so I need to take care of my body. The time it takes to come back after a crash is much longer now.
Best place?
The Maldives Italian food Lambrusco
Best food? Best drink? Best music?
What do you do before a comp?
The big competitions are normally far away, in a different continent, so you need to travel, you have the jet-lag, you eat some bad food during the flight, so you need to take care of your body. You generally need to sleep as much as possible to feel good again. I don’t have any superstitious things to do before a competition, but it’s a must to have a shower before the event because I need to be clean, not because I was dirty, but it makes you feel like a new guy after travelling.
