Did you help to develop Ot’s riding or did he do this himself?
No never. I give him the always the possibilities of for this and the possibility of practise. I tell you, every family is different. In front of my house I have a small hole like this place. Ot had another friend here and another friend here also. After school all 3 friends go practise every day. From my house I can see from the window what they do. They just go down the hole at an angle and just keep balance on the steep side. They practise at this place all of the time, non-stop, always up and down, up and down, up and down to make perfect. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, all week except Sunday which is the bike for the competition.

Always he practises with the 2 other boys. He put the stones on the floor and practises always. It was all about balance and control, brakes and pedals. Then they go to the competitions and I no touch anything. I don’t even take the bike from the car. They take out the bike and put in the wheels. They get everything is order and make the tyre pressure and then ride the competition. After the competition we are in the car and we talk about section. All these 3 boys are different ages from the other, but all 3 come with me in my car to the competition with 3 bicycles. I tell you, because without pressure it is better and you get no success.
It rides over incredible obstacles. Did you have obstacles like these at your home so he could practise? Yes, but not in this area. After 18 years old I give my car to Ot. It was a Renault and he drive and he find some place. Each village has some place to ride. |
