Rene Wildhaber
No one has won more freeride marathons than Swiss rider Rene Wildhaber. A visit with an outdoorsman who sleeps where others cycle.
Perhaps you have to have such a consistent disdain for comfort enhancers such as upholstered seating and sprung mattresses to be the fastest freerider in Europe. Where Wildhaber competes, the competition is usually only fighting for second place. Downhill? He starts and rides away. Uphill? Even cross-country pros struggle to keep up. Stubble tracks where physics shows the limits of human motor skills? He floats over them as if the surface were tarmac.
