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 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 stands for anything but racing. They are two guys who live their lives a little different than others.

That's why they ride with AMPLIFI gear.
“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!
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.
Alex has been sitting on a bike since... well, almost forever. He started competing with only six years and has ever since. He won in bike trial 20'' championships and in the 2016 and 2017 world championship with the french team. Since 2018 he spents pretty much all of his time on his enduro. Succesfully. If he's not riding, he's teaching others since he's also a bike instructor.
One year without biking. That was more than enough for Laura Charles. After not continuing her xc career, Laura had to get back on a bike pretty soon. Why not try enduro for a change? Well, she really liked it and her results speak for themselves: French champion 2018 and some top 10 results in the enduro world series.

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.

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!”

Urška has been riding since she was ten years old, and has been pushing the envelope of progressive women's riding since she first stepped on a board. As a member of the awesome "Lipstick" video team, her wicked sense of humour - and take-no-prisoners style have pushed her to the forefront of the sport. Despite her hardcore dedication to training and travelling to shred, her philosophy remains simple: "Have fun."
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.
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.
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.
