Drift training OEAMTC Melk

Drifting drifting drifting! My friend and former Rally driver Manfred Pfeiffenberger was trying to teach me how to drift a BMW M3 at the OEAMTC driving center in Melk! Not that easy but fun!

My other life

...not a lot of people know that I was a mechanic before I became a Base jumper. But I still love working on bikes! Here is my old lady- a Moto Guzzi California 75' model. The italien cops had them back in the old days! Not that fast anymore but still a beauty
