CP Tour 2010 : India First Exclusive: xBhp Interview Chris Pfeiffer!
Chris Pfeiffer, the world stunt champion, says a special Hi! to all xBhpians before the start of his tour in India from 29th April in Delhi!
Here is an exclusive FIRST interview with him for xBhp!
xBhp Asks: What prompted you to start biking at 5? What factors do you think were responsible to make what you are today (luck, serendipity, doggedness etc), and what was the biggest of them.
Chris Answers:xBhp Asks:Chris Answers:My favourite bike for stunting is the big street bike, my BMW F800R. I still love all kinds of dirt bikes but the 800 is my real passion. The heavy weight is not necessarily an disadvantage and stabilizes at some tricks. Also I like the powerful engine and the torque of the 800.
xBhp Asks:Have you ever considered racing in MotoGP, Isle of Man or any similar road racing events?
Chris Answers:No never. I raced a lot earlier but always offroad. When it comes to racing I guess I am better offroad than onroad.
xBhp Asks:Who do you think is your (and why):
Chris Answers:
o Favourite current stunter: Rafal Pasierbek
o Toughest Competitor: You will see in June: Rafal Pasierbek
o Favourite sportsperson in motorsports (other than stunting): Valentino Rossi, James Steward

o Favourite place to practice stunts: My practise area (a motorsport and driving school area) only 10 min ayway from my house

o Most difficult stunt show so far:
o Favourite drink (we all know that!): Water, Red Bull, sometimes a beer.
xBhp Asks:Chris Answers:xBhp Asks:What is your greatest fear in life?
Chris Answers:xBhp Asks:A very standard question, but how does it feel to be engaged in such a dangerous sport when you have a fantastic family with kid waiting at home? We all do wish here that nothing bad happens to you ever!
Chris Answers:xBhp Asks:Which bike would you want to ride after retirement?
Chris Answers:xBhp Asks:Would you be comfortable with your kids going into this sport?
Chris Answers:Yes, if they really love it. I hope the develop a passion for something be it music or stunting or whatever.
xBhp Asks:Did at any point of early life you feel that you will not be able to earn enough money out of this?
Chris Answers:xBhp Asks:How do you handle the fame and the pressure and how do you manage to stay level headed?
Chris Answers:xBhp Asks:What do you think is your greatest achievement so far ?
Chris Answers:Competition wise to win the World Championship three times in a row. Apart from that, to take my sport all around the world and to awake enthusiasm among hundred thousands of spectators.
xBhp Asks:Till what age do you think you can sustain such high level of energies and motivation (even with a Red Bull!).
Chris Answers:My motivation is still very high as long as I am improving and as long as my physical shape is OK. I hope I can continue on top level for a few more years.
xBhp Asks:Chris Answers:xBhp Asks:Last but not the least, what do you expect to see in India (what kind of general image you have of India as far as motorcycling goes).
Chris Answers:Namaste and Welcome to India!
