Team riders summer
Jono Jones
The Scorpion King
Jono is just so much fun to watch. Wether it is a big gap, blown up turns or flat landings, Jono just got a killer style. With his expertise from racing DH world cups all over world we at AMPLIFI are stoked to get his expertise on new developments, which will support our mission to bring ideas and concepts to the market like no other!
Sandra Rübesam
The Thundercaat
Sandra is a true tearaway who has been kicking ass and taking names since she first got on a bike. Fearless, fast, and with a can-do attitude that puts other riders to shame, Sandra kicked it up a notch recently. She became German Downhill Champion in 2015, which she defended in 2016 and we expect much more in the years to come from this feisty Bavarian bombshell.
Guido Tschugg
All mountain legend
Guido has been at the top of his game for so long it defies belief. A true legend of the European MTB game, Guido is still charging the hill, as well as shaping bike parks AND helping AMPLIFI with testing and product development! A Renaissance Man if there ever was one.
RONNY–RACING
Mountainbike Nomads
Ronny-Racing stands for anything but racing. They are two guys who live their lives a little different than others. Traveling all year in their old ambulance Sputnik, riding bikes or other things at the most beatiful places and having a really good time and a lot of fun and providing us with the finest video and photos.
Kellys Factory Team
Always on top of their ride
One of the goals of the slovakian Kellys Factory Team is to always stay on top of their ride. The five team riders Rastislav Baránek, Oskar Masaryk, Ľuboš Staňo, Jozef Ondič und Petr Folvarčný are guzzling kilometers towards better results and new technologies. That's why they ride with AMPLIFI gear.
Simon Maurer
Welcome to the Elite
German junior champ, top 10 junior World Cup finisher and at just 19 years already well known technique, even on the toughest courses. He is starting his second year in the male elite. Simon Maurer and Sandra Rübesam will race together as Assault Racing Team in the European Downhill Cup and selected World Cups in 2020.
Bayeride
Pure Bavarian Shred
“Bayeride” is an art word. It connects Bavaria („BAYErn“ in German) with the English word „to RIDE“. A group of 4 (or so!) Bavarian guys who love to shred and visit new spots with their bikes, the Bayeride crew are a perfect fit for AMPLIFI – pushing their own limits, creating awesome video clips and having fun. Whether shredding downhill or killing it in Enduro – these guys ride harder, faster and with more bravery than anyone we’ve seen – with huge smiles on their faces!
Bayern DML Team
The Bayern DML team is a group of guys who share their passion for biking. Lucas (20), David (19) and Marco (17) live in Bavaria and since 2013 they are taking part at several downhill races all over Germany and Austria together. The combined training on the trails in Lenggries or Oberammergau pays off: David was able to convince at the german championship last season and won the men's hobby class. Marco was also very successful and secured the victory in the overall evaluation of the German Downhill Cup.
Team riders winter
Sebi Geiger
Hometown Hero
When you love endless winter and deep powder, this is a name you should remember. The 25-year old freeskier from Oberstdorf competed in the German national team till last season. Then he decided it is time for a change. He wants to do more of what makes him happy - going away from competitions to pure fun out there.
Niek Van Der Velden
flying Dutchman
Our young gun Niek Van Der Velden is a highly talented Big Air and Slopestyle rider. He is an outstanding representative of that amazing generation of young riders who already have an incredible trick repertoire at a really young age. Though only 16, Niek has already won multiple Slopestyle European Cups, was winner of the Laax Rookie Fest in 2016 and came in 7th and 8th place at the Junior Big Air and Slopestyle World Championships. To top it all off, he took part in the 20th Superpark Invitational at Mammoth Mountain this May!
Mario Wanger
Super Mario
Our boy Mario “Fegler” Wanger hails from beautiful Mayrhofen-Zillertal in the heart of the Austrian Tirol. Whether he’s in the park, getting faceshots in the backcountry pow or hucking huge kickers – Mario does it all with immaculate style. Mario spends his winters globetrotting the world – from Mt. Baker to Hokkaido, but loves nothing more than shredding with his friends and having fun in the Tirol! In his own words: “Stay true, and have as much fun as you can!”
Melissa Peperkamp
Watch out for this girl
Melissa is a young girl with massive skills, made it to the junior olympic games and got herself multiple podiums in slopestyle and big air. Started at the dry slopes in the Netherlands at an age of six and now at 16 she is riding world cups and parks all over the globe. Keep your eyes open for Melissa, she is the future.
Samo Jaros
Winter Lover
Samo is not only a talented Slovak snowboarder, he also make a name for itself worldwide. In winter you can meet him in the european mountains and in summer he likes to spend his time in New Zealand. His biggest goal is to participate in the Olympic games... and guess what season is his favorite? 100% winter, is his answer!
Ana Rumiha
Vegan Shredder
Starting out as a skater in Zagreb, Ana had all the skills she needed when she discovered snowboarding, whether shredding open fields or endless rails. Check her insane edits on the awesome “Lipstick” series of videos, focussing on hard riding female riders… Right now Ana’s killing it in the winter, travelling the world as a member of the elite Nitro team, and spending her summers training her ass off getting ready for next year’s sessions.
DJ John Doe
Noise Terrorist
When we're looking to kick the season off in style with a big jamboree we do the following: Check the snow report, book the club, and call DJ John Doe. From hip hop to death metal, rockabilly to screamo - John Doe mashes it all up seamlessly. One second you're hopping around to Johnny Cash, the next you're slamdancing on the bar to Motörhead - and you won't even know how you got there! Check out his regular events around Europe, with his crew The Baywatch Soundsystem.
Slava "Casper" Zinovev
Russian Ripper
Casper is a child of the Ural Mountains in Russia, and as a kid rode the tiny ski resort near his home, never dreaming that one day he'd be travelling the world with his board.... Now he's doing just that! You'll often hear him singing his favourite songs while hucking and jibbing - high on life, and his love of snowboarding.
Think you're badass enough to join the AMPLIFI team?
DROP US A LINE AND WE'LL PROBABLY TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT. IT TAKES BALLS TO ASK BUT YOU BETTER HAVE THE SKILLS OR YOU'RE GONNA LOOK STUPID.
