focus on kids, because they
are the future of these sports.
We want to make action sports
more accessible for the masses,
because I simply can’t stand
soccer. I experienced myself
how hard it can be to get access
to a good spot to learn sports
like FMX and MTB and want
to help change that for future
generations.
Would you ever take the show
to USA or will it remain in
Europe?
We will take it wherever
someone books us, even your
birthday party! But USA is
definitely the “big picture”.
Who’s the craziest rider that
has ever ridden for M.O.D?
Oh there is a bunch! All of us are
crazy but I would say the top 5
are: Mad Mike Jones, Andreu
Lacondeguy, Mike “Hucker”
Clark, Tom Pagès and Eigo Sato
(R.I.P).
Running M.O.D must come
with its perks – what’s the best
hook-up you’ve got so far?
Businesswise we started
collaborating with TSG and our
own TSG x M.O.D signature
helmet has just been released at
Eurobike. We are also about to
receive the sample of our Gloryfy
x M.O.D sunglasses. Besides
that, all the good things in life
that come with it…You don’t
cue in front of clubs, you meet
awesome people from all over
the world and girls love bad boys
with big toys!
What’s the biggest bar tab
M.O.D has ever racked up?
Luckily we now have booze
sponsors, otherwise the tabs
would be 20k+… Imagine how
much 100–300 maniacs drink!
Before that we used to spend
waaayyyy too much money on
booze.
We hear some of the M.O.D
after-parties can get a little
wild. Tell us one of the funniest
