I arrived sick and I didn’t practice much. I just learned and analysed the track very well and tried to match visually the sections with my skills. So I didn’t have to do many training runs. I slept a lot and the race day was hard for me, but I still wanted to try it and give everything just for this one run. I liked the track and it suited me. I hit everything well and I found my flow from the start. But at the finish, I found myself far behind and I thought no way this is not possible I had a clean run. I asked again if the times were wrong. Because there were girls in front of me I passed in practice. In the end, they made a mistake and I won. I was very happy and also that I asked.    2) Kalnica Bike festival “ The best event of the whole year „ One of the best events in the MTB world. There are many different disciplines, which brings a great mix of other athletes and nationalities. Of course, it is busy with all the events and evening entertainment but there you find passionated MTBikers because Kalnica is pretty much in a nowhere place, so you won’t end up here by accident. passionate I raced the downhill, the dual Pumptrack, the night slalom and the pumptrack. The ladies‘ field was strong and I liked the challenge. In the end, I got 1st in DH, 2nd in Dual Pumptrack and Night Slalom and 4th in Pumptrack. I can’t wait already for next year.     3) „More Pedro´s Bike care Workshop Tutorials “ I show you how I do it. „ Also this year I am still working for Pedro’s Europe Tools. Here you see our newest videos. We also took over their Instagram account. So if you are interested check it out. @pedroseurope  4) „Austrian National Champs“ “ One of my best races ever „ OMG. I was nervous about this race and had no idea what to expect. I had one practice day on the track before the race weekend and good that I did that. The track was very difficult and some sections were mentally hard to do. So I ticked them off my list before I arrived. The weather was great, the track was great and also the girls‘ vibe I enjoyed it a lot riding with them. In the end, I got second and was very happy about my race run. 1st. Kerstin Sallegger 2nd me 3rd Marlena Neisl  5) „Kosutka Slovakia DH Cup“ “ Kosutka sees me again…“ Another year another Kosutka. It was one of the first races this year and the track is a hard one I would say, but I enjoy racing in Slovakia every time. The riders are so friendly and the tracks are different to the ones I know already by heart in Austria. I had some good practice runs and on raceday, I could secure myself third place.  6) „AMflow Video shoot“ “ What a machine“How did I end up in this Amflow campaign? Frank Marbert, from Crink Visuals, asked me if I would like to be a model for the AMFLOW bike with the new Dji motor. I know him because I asked him a few years ago if he wanted to produce the Haibike family series with me. So this time he thought about me and asked me to be part of this big project. I was able to convince Dji as well and in the end, they even chose my partner Alex too. We had a great time and I am super stoked about the outcome. , www.crinkvisuals.com   7) „CRANKWORX Innsbruck „ “ I just love CRANKWORX in Innsbruck „ Sad to say but this was the last Crankworx event in Innsbruck. So I was very happy to be part of it. I got invited to the Pumptrack and the Dual Slalom. Unfortunately got sick this weekend and I had to skip the Dual Slalom. Not feeling too great I did the Pumptrack. But I still enjoyed it and was happy to see my good old friend Caroline Buchanan. Another highlight was that Bernd Winkler an Austrian rider won the Speed and Style. Here you find an article about me and my participation at the Crankworx for 16 years.      8) Pocket Rocket Jam “ a come together „ If you don’t know Spela Horvath, AKA Pocket Rocket. She is a good friend of mine, we raced World Cups together and she stopped racing to concentrate on big jumps. She is well known in the freeride scene and this time she organized her own freeride event in the AGI Bikepark (SLO) So many riders came to have a great weekend together and jump big jumps. Click to see my personal riding Rocket Jam video with the girls.   9) Les Deux Alpes IXS European cup “ great things never come from comfort zones „  Last year I wrote, on this position number 9 of my summary, about the French race in Chatel. It was one of my best ones and I was super happy about my racing. This year I write about the IXS CUP in les2alpes, one of the worst races in my racing career. Shows again how close the highs and lows are in racing. The track walk went fine and I felt confident to hit some of the jumps. But my first practice was exactly the opposite. I was super nervous the track was so fast so were the other riders. All the time someone was on your back wheel, and I felt very stressed about it. I felt so wrong placed and I was very sad the whole day. I tried to shift my mindset and the next day was much better. I hit some big jumps and I felt faster on the track. But on race day, I was taught something better. I found myself in the last position – a few girls didn’t start because it was too hard for them or some got injured but still, I was last last. That was a hard one to swallow. I was so sad and hard on myself.It took me a few days to find my smile again but honestly, when I look back, it was the best thing which could have happened to me because since then I have been training harder and hitting jumps quicker. Because getting last is not an option for me and I didn’t like the feeling of it. Click on the picture and I talk you threw my race weekend. 10) „FIIN women bike wear project „ “ From a women for women…“ The woman behind the brand is Verena Herbert. She wanted to create bike wear for women and With the label for mountain bike clothing for women, she has fulfilled her dream and turned her passion into a career. As a passionate mountain biker, she has noticed that the clothing does not meet the needs of us women enough, neither in design nor in cut. It offers too little variety and is only suitable for the classic sporty figure type. With FiiN Women’s Bikewear she wants to achieve more diversity and involve the women themselves in the development of the products. She also believes that some changes are needed in the fashion industry to protect our beautiful planet. This can be the foundation for our sport and the future of our children’s population. Therefore, her goal is to work with sustainable materials and to have her products produced exclusively in Europe, under European standards and with short transport routes. www.fiin-bikewear.com  See the full Reel video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_ySx2eO6GO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link 11) „Whipp of contest in Supermorzine „ “ Women don’t need a prices or a podium „ I was taking part in the „Animoz“ ( a French MTB Clothing brand) whipp-off contest in Avoriaz aka super Morzine in France. We were 3 girls we all jumped the same big kicker in Supermorzine. We also whipped and guess what answer I got when I asked when is the price giving and where. „no there are no prices for women“ (a female sponsored animoz rider told me that to my face – she was one of the judges) I thought in the first moment that’s a joke and I asked are you serious? Why? She could not give me an answer nor the other clowns – sorry sponsored riders. I mean in which period are we? Stone age. I should have said more but I walked off still in shock at what just had happened. The other girls and I were really upset and I think this is unacceptable. side note. all kind of men classed got prizes.!!!   Social Media: Check out my social media.
