Red Bull Genova Cerro Abajo 2024!

Second Cerro Abajo for 24! This time in Europe in the city of Genova. Familiar vibes, totally new surroundings and also a new outlet to shoot for: FREERIDE Mag had just closed down, so this time I shot the whole adventure for BIKE Magazin. And what an adventure it turned out to be: tricky weather, Italian style course build, crazy vibes as usual and a strong fifth place finish for Fischi!! A solid comeback after his horror crash in Valpo earlier in the year and a strong foundation for the upcoming races! Can’t wait to do it all over again – whether in Chile, Mexico, India or Italy!!

The roadgap – a cary one for sure…
I keep trying to take good tilt/shift photos – this one almost made it into print!
The roadgap again – sketchy & scary
Pre-finals day rain practice…
Shooting stuff for the magazine!
Fischi’s weapon of choice for Genova!
A fitting tag line after Valpo 🙂 „Staying alive..“
The train ride up, a moment to contemplate…
…and a couple of track walk, practice and finals day snaps!
