Summary

Today we’re joined by German enduro star Christian Textor, better known as Texi or Big Chris from MoiMoiTV. We dive into Texi’s incredible journey from discovering dirt jumping, through racing downhill World Cups, to his current home at the YT Mob, competing at the highest level at World Enduro.

Texi shares how he manages to successfully combine having four children with elite-level racing, offering some great insights on becoming the best version of yourself. It’s clear that Texi really thinks about things, and he’s found an amazing balance that works for him. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Texi.
