Short bio, how it all began…
In 1995 I started mountainbiking, I was looking for a cool hobby that would make up for me sitting behind a computer all day long (see my workrelated blog here). After a few years I bought a ‘light’ freerider and I thought I’d have years of fun with it. Within 6 months I traded it in for a Santa Cruz Bullit. An awesome allround freeride/downhill bike: finished the Megavalanche in 2003 and 2004 with it and even became the Dutch national champion Downhill in 2005.
Currently
In februari 2009 I welcomed a new member of the family: Trek Remedy 7, or as I would like to call it: the Session’s ambitious little brother for a score to settle!
