biography

Christian Pfeiffer, whose nickname is Pfiff and who goes under the pseudonym CP , contested his first trial race in 1980 at the age of 10. In the following years his father made it possible for him to take part in other trial competitions, which he successfully competed. He was able to win around 300 trophies by 1990. In 1985 Christian became German youth champion and in 1988 German champion in the B / C license class of the trial championship. After graduating from high school, he studied sport and biology in Munich.

During his student days he finished his triallic career and switched to freestyle riding. In the evenings he used the local opportunities in Munich parking lots to practice acrobatic tricks on his trial motorcycle. His tricks did not go unnoticed and soon he was selling himself and his show across Germany, thereby financing his studies. A short time later Christian got his first big appearance as a show driver in the Olympiahalle Munich, with which he gradually made a name for himself and switched to the professional camp in 1996. In addition to the shows, he finished as a finisher at the Gilles Lalay Classic in 1996 , won the Offroad Challenge and took his first of four victories at the ErzbergRodeo .

In the following years Christian set some world records, such as B. 1997 the new record in the long jump over 33 people lying next to each other without a ramp. When he fell during the Guinness Show of Records in April 1999 while trying to beat his own record due to a technical defect, he suffered several complicated fractures. After a few operations and months of rehabilitation, he had recovered to such an extent that he was able to take part in the Erzberg Rodeo again and also won this competition.
