to be a big fight to win again. Going to America will help grow the series more,
which is important for the sport and with Red Bull Media House putting it on our
TV screens it will make Enduro even bigger.”
Your tight team of Flatschingfast Factory Racing has become like a move-
ment of 2019, everyone is talking about it. What’s the secret because you
guys have nailed it!
“Yeah, we’ve nailed it for sure - everyone is talking about Flatschingfast now, it’s
so funny. It’s crazy. It’s just a made up name, like a joke, but everyone knows it and
fans are even making posters about it, too. It’s trending! It’s a cool thing because
it’s doesn’t really mean anything. It’s not actually a word, but it’s cool that it has
become something to represent having fun.”
Finally, win, lose or draw you’re always happy and smiling - has that been
the key to your success this year?
“I always want to have fun. Of course results are important, but it’s not just
about that. You’ve got to enjoy the moment too. I feel humbled to be out there
riding bikes as my job. We all started to ride Enduro because it’s a fun thing to do
- it takes you to places you only dreamed of and you become friends with people
you otherwise would never have met. For me that’s what our sport is all about.
Keeping a smile on my face reminds me of that every time I ride.” n
