Hans at the Mottolino Bike Park in Livigno |

Hans, during a recent NASA Mars Mission,
he recently become US citizen. The previous lack of having a US passport
was the whole reason NORBA changed its rules for the US National Championships
in 1987, after Hans had won it with his Swiss Passport they had no
choice but give him the title, before they changed rules for the following
year. |
