BK QUICK CHECK

FULL NAME: frank vilgertshofer alias BK

BORN: november 1973

HOMETOWN: augsburg (atown), germany

YOUR LOCAL SPOTt: hehl hills

WHATS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS SPOT: feels like my second livingroom, actually I have my pesonal wardrobe at this spot.

IF YOU WOULD ORGANIZE A BIKE JAM, WHO WOULD BE YOUR FAVOURITE FIVE TO INVITE: the riders I personally have the most fun with, this would be "the gang": martin "slim line" hehl, schlumpf, heini, the questioner, benny and so on....talking about vip´s, I would like to watch: mr. pokoj, mr. wittmann, mr. korthaus, mr. swanguen and jessica alba.

BEST SPOT YOU EVER RODE: dirt wise, the old jim knopf trails for sure - downhill: the red sand DH on gran canaria - CC: moab and marin county (back in the days, when CC equaled bike riding) - pumptrack: I like our own, but to say the truth, I really don´t know too many others. have to change this on a road trip next year

TRICK YOU SUCKED MOST: you name it, I sucked it.

YEARS OF RIDING: about 30 I guess.

YOUR NEXT GOAL ON THE BIKE: riding it (injured right now), and then setting up a new pumptrack record.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES BESIDE RIDIN BIKE: gay stuff like kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing.

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR TIME IN THE AGE OF 77: I`m afraid, my bones already reached that age! besides that, I´m pretty sure I still ride my personal pumptrack every day, just to keep fit! maybe boccia would be some nice entertainment, too.

SPONSORS: haha

YOUR FAVORITE RIDE: the firefly pumptrack machine prototype. Built to resist some abuse, too. Reasonable weight with a lofely feel to it due to the small diameter tubes. And besides that, it´s a real beauty.

FRANK HEINRICH

BORN: june 1970

HOMETOWN: augsburg, germany

YOUR LOCAL SPOT: hehl hills

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS SPOT: the BBQs.

IF YOU WOULD ORGANIZE A BIKE JAM, WHO WOULD BE YOUR FAVORITE 5 TO INVITE: my lazy australian friend jason for flipping the burgers on the bbq, the band CCR for some background music, maybe randy spengler, before he gets too old riding his bike and a the spare seats I would fill up with some hot ladies. Maybe I would have to put them on chains, because who wants to see two old farts riding their bikes with CCR music in the background?

BEST SPOT YOU EVER RODE: dirt: I liked most our old spot in augsburg, called the jim knopf trails. but they got bulldozed down. I think I had my best freeride sessions somewhere in marin county or moab, but I would defently not find most of the tracks any more. ask BK, he knows where we went.

TRICK YOU SUCKED MOST: that list is long, but the onehand x-up is on the top of that list.

YEARS OF RIDING: way more than 20.

YOUR NEXT GOAL ON THE BIKE: with 38 your goals on the bike are shrinking. ahh, maybe to beat BKs time record on the pumptrack, but it looks like this goal will stay for a long, long time.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES BESIDE RIDING BIKE: family, surfing

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR TIME IN THE AGE OF 77: maybe with rc-car- and slotcar-racing.

SPONSORS: none

YOUR FAVORITE RIDE: the firefly will be my weapon for 09.
