Biking with Bobby is more than just mountain biking. It is a real thrill ride for all of your senses. Spend 2.5 or 3.5 days biking and freeriding with Bobby in a group of no more than 10 people in Willingen (Hesse). Bobby will help you improve your cycling technique and learn a new trick or two in a laid back atmosphere.

Soulriding means having fun and learning useful tips and tricks along the way. Anyone who is already familiar with the basics of mountain biking and who wants to improve their technique in an informal setting is welcome to attend. Bobby’s workshops at Willingen bike park are aimed at touring bikers and up-and-coming freeriders who want to work on their downhill performance. Tackle the freeride course together with Bobby. For advanced freeriders, Bobby offers the Soulriding Workshop PRO. During this workshop riders will attempt the downhill course. A full face helmet, as well as knee and arm protectors are mandatory in this workshop.

Bobby is one of the most enigmatic figures on the freeride scene. He made his name as a team rider for Kona and Cannondale. Bobby set the current world records for speed wheelies on the front wheel (90.7 km/h) and on the back wheel (138.6 km/h) in breathtaking world record attempts. He also reached around 120 km/h – the highest speed ever pedalled on a road bike. These records earned him three places in the Guinness Book of World Records.
