Hi, my name is Nick Beer. My discipline is downhill mountain biking. I was born on 17 September 1987 in Switzerland. My special talent is riding as if it's all or nothing. My philosophy of life is I’m an outright racer . The most important person in my life is my girlfriend. My favourite food is my grandmother's potato salad. My favourite music is ... I like almost any kind of music.

Bio

An engineering apprentice until he turned pro as a mountain bike downhiller in 2007 at the age of 19, Nick Beer certainly made the right move in engineering his career, taking the iXS European Downhill Mountain Bike title in 2009.

Just three years after his first downhill race he was named Swiss Junior Champion and made his World Cup debut. The 4-time Swiss national champion made his mark in the 2010 iXS series as well as claiming two top 10 finishes in the UCI World Cup. Nick had another solid UCI season in 2011 with a ninth place in the opening round in Pietermaritzburg.

When he's not racing he's a big fan of snowboarding and skiing and is also known to play the drums.
