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.
