The Hills of Home

Turns out the Black Forest has more to offer than cake, Pirmin Kuß shows us some of the best trails there, then gets his BMX out on his pumptrack.

"Hills of Home" is a Black Forest production by the film crew of workID following German XC racer Pirmin Kuß. Pirmin has ridden bikes since day one and since he was young his heart belonged to Olympic XC racing. He rides for the German WHEELER-iXS Team and loves the good times he has with his team buddies during the race season.

What he really doesn't like, is the prejudice that cross country fellas are technically unskilled! He tries his best to prove the opposite and puts his heart in his riding. For him it is pure fun to ride his 29" hard tail through the lovely Black Forest and to have a new challenge everyday, without the need of full suspension.

Nevertheless the 20 years old loves all sports on two wheels, doesn't matter how big they are. He puts a lot of time into digging last year and build his own little pumptrack around the house of his family. He truly believes in the progression and fun that the BMX pumptrack riding brings to his training, on top of the tough exercises a racer has to do.

Riding for a video project is a little dream came true for him, because in Pirmins opinion racing isn't only about big races and results. He goes all out every take and we snapped some awesome shots. In the end we had an amazing weekend filming and riding out there and became good friends.
