Steffi doesn't want to waste any time, she wants to get on the bike, on the trail and breathe in the action. Steffi Marth, born in 1985 in Plessa, Brandenburg, has been one of the defining figures in German MTB sport for many years. At the age of 12, she discovered her love for cycling. On her BMX bike, the growing biker quickly rose to the elite of junior BMX cycling. Marth celebrated her first major success with the German Championship in 2003. Over time, she eventually swapped her BMX bike for enduro and downhill bikes. From 2008 to 2018, Marth dominated the 4Cross sport with 5 national titles. In the international UCI Downhill series, she was able to celebrate various notable successes. Her greatest successes include the bronze medals in 2014 and 2015 at the UCI 4X World Championship. Interested parties can benefit from her knowledge from almost 20 years of pro experience in riding technique courses. ???? ►►https://www.instagram.com/steffimarth... ????

Tino represents this motto through and through. Born in Saxony-Anhalt, he lives and works in Hamburg. Wait, Hamburg? That sounds like flat land and dikes. That's correct. But south of Hamburg, in a hilly forest, a group of intrepid mountain bikers have built themselves a real gem of trails and descents in recent years: the Harburg Mountains. The perfect place for the trail junkie to get technique and fitness in winter for alpine bike park tours in summer. Tino has been an active gravity head and active MTB skill coach for around 15 years. ???? ►► https://www.instagram.com/gravityno_m... ????
