Rudy started out racing cross-country back in 1999. After many years of racing, the downhill fascination caught up with him. He started competing in some national races. This year he had the chance to start at the World Cups in Val di Sole and Val d'isere for the Swiss National team.

Rode the track in this video (not Val D'isere but the other one) this summer, its at Verbier Bike Park in Switzerland. They raced the ixs europeans on it. Props for this guy riding it so damn pinned!
Would love to see this guy freeriding! (just a thought: when you watch guys like this destroy wc track with such style you always think they're the fastest in the world, but then in competition you do not really notice them, and this makes you think about how fricken fast the top guys really are! Not to take anything away from this guy, he rode like out from hell, and I wish him a bright future in the sport! Good luck man!)
The Endless Gap team (who Rudy is a member of) shot and edited this themselves - Rudy was competing in the Val D'Isere WC - but we shot and edited a video of all four of them in Chatel, this year. They're all crazy fast: http://www.pinkbike.com/video/269260/
We're actually a freeride team but we have the advantage that everyone of us can do kind of his own thing. Some of us are competing - some of us are not. Rudy for example is riding every weekend. Doesn't matter if he's on his enduro bike, at a DH race or shredding the bikeparks. we try to show you a little bit of everything in our videos. check out facebook.com/endlessgap for results, videos and more
