The person in the team that has been riding for the longest time is Peter Bäckgren. He's actually been riding in Elite for a longer time, than some of our team members total time of riding. Great results is what he has delivered throughout these years and has been standing on the podium both nationally and internationally!
What is most impressing with Peter is his way of having control over his bike. No energy goes to waste and everything looks just so well placed when he jumps around. A small edge on a rock is something he could use to get up to places where you previously thought only mountain climbers could go. It doesn't matter if he's jumping down from 1 or 3 meters height, it is all so controlled from beginning to the end.
With Peter's experience of doing demo's and with his background in competitions it is a pleasure for us to have him on the team! His knowledge of how to keep an audience interested is outstanding. The contact he creates between rider and spectator is truly amazing, you'll never walk away from a Peter Bäckgren show disappointed.
For 2012 Peter will ride in Team Wall Street with his brand new Ozonys Curve but he will also ride on his Inspired, which he takes to the streets of Gothenburg to shredd with.
Below is a video of Peter riding:
