FROM NORWAY TO THE USA

Andrè Villa is known on the international FMX scene for having bags of style and an even bigger bag of tricks. Having quit his MX career in 2000 after suffering couple of injuries, Andre turned semi-pro in freestyle skiing before returning to the bike in 2003 to dedicate his life to FMX.

After deciding to move from Norway to Spain to build the best FMX park in Europe, Villa quickly began to reap the rewards of his decision as he went on to win a series of big events and set standards in style in the sport.

Following serious injuries in Madrid 2006 and in Poland in 2008, Villa is burst back onto the scene in 2009 with plenty of positive energy. In 2010, he decided to up sticks once again and join most of the international FMX elite in Temecula, California. Why? “I was fed up of getting beaten,” explains Villa. With a new bike, new home and plenty of new tricks, Andrè Villa is definitely one to watch out for in 2010.
