In the closely networked Swiss mountain bike scene, Michelle Neuner is known as “Miss Mini Flip”. A name to remember. But don't let the nickname fool you - the up-and-coming rider has much more to offer than just a spectacular backflip. Having grown up in the hills of eastern Switzerland, near an alpaca farm, Michelle only discovered her passion for two wheels a few years ago. Since then, she has been fully committed to it and spends every free minute perfecting her skills in all areas of biking.
Whether BMX, dirt jump, enduro or downhill - Michelle's philosophy is simple: the main thing is to have fun. And that's exactly what her new edit is all about - showing off her versatile riding skills and proving that she's much more than just a one-trick pony.
“In Switzerland, I can really live out the sport of biking. From Geneva to St. Gallen, I can find places everywhere where I can ride and test my limits. That's exactly what I want to show in this video.” - Michelle Neuner
Together with filmmaker Andoni Lopez, Michelle set off on a tour through Switzerland to capture her favorite spots on film. The video takes us to Brambrüesch in Chur, where she rides her Lane 160 in one of the best bike parks in the country, sending flips, tucks and suis over the trick jumps and mastering 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, Valais, she trains and films for the qualification at the BMX Freestyle Olympics. Frauenfeld, where Michelle once lived, has a special place in her heart, as the skatepark there was the place where she acquired the skills that are now getting her noticed in the bike community. This video is more than just a highlight reel; it's a testimony 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 on Michelle Neuner - she's definitely one not to be overlooked.
