Rider of the Month, June 2012: Monika Hinz from Germany
« on: May 28, 2012, 02:17:09 PM »
This month’s interview is a really good one on so many levels. Monika is such an inspirational character in the BMX world (so much so, I thought I’d already interviewed her…), from her riding to her photography, and her positive outlook and attitude on life.  This was a pleasure to put together, and hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did, and take some positive energy from it too.



Ladies and Gents… I give you Ms Monika Hinz - Rider of the Month June 2012!

Nice interview. Always good to hear a female rider's perspective.

My mother taught me to never ask a lady her age...but she started riding in 89?  That's awesome.  We rarely ever heard of female riders then.  Almost never.   And she won the worlds in 91 and 09.  That's even more awesome.

I always thought flatlanders could do any trick they know on any day if they practiced it enough. I felt somedays some tricks just don't work. Glad to read someone else and possibly others feel the same way . IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE I SUCK =D
