Meet Miss Mini Flip: Michelle Neuner's new video showcases her versatile talent
In the closely-knit Swiss mountain biking scene, Michelle Neuner, known as "Miss Mini Flip," is a name to remember. But don't be deceived by the nickname – the up-and-coming rider has more to offer than just a spectacular backflip. Growing up in the hills of Eastern Switzerland, near an alpaca farm, Michelle discovered her passion for two wheels only a few years ago. Since then, she has been fully immersed, spending every free minute perfecting her skills in all areas of bike sports.

Whether it's BMX, dirt jumping, enduro, or downhill – Michelle's philosophy is simple: as long as it’s fun. That's exactly what her new edit is about – showcasing her versatile riding skills and proving that she is much more than just a one-trick pony.
In Switzerland, I can truly immerse myself in bike sports. From Geneva to St. Gallen, I find places everywhere to ride and test my limits. That's exactly what I want to show in this video.

Together with filmmaker Andoni Lopez, Michelle embarked on a tour across Switzerland to capture her favorite spots on film. The video takes us to Brambrüesch in Chur, where she rides her Lane 160 at one of the country's best bike parks, sends flips, tucks, and Suis over the trick jumps, and masters technical lines. She returns to her roots in Davos and Frauenfeld, where she keeps the 26-inch wheels alive with her Stomp 1. In Aigle, Wallis, she trains and films for the qualification at the BMX Freestyle Olympics. Frauenfeld, where Michelle once lived, holds a special place in her heart, as the skatepark there was where she developed the skills that now garner attention in the bike community. This video is more than just a highlight reel; it is a testament to Michelle's versatility and passion. From her beginnings as a BMX rider to her growing presence in the MTB world, "Miss Mini Flip" is on a mission to make her name known – and this latest project is just the beginning. Keep an eye out for Michelle Neuner – she is one not to be missed.
