"Being a pro-mountainbiker for several years now, I've seen and participated in nearly every existing type of event. That's why I want to create something new: An event arranged and realized by pro-riders and freeride enthusiasts. Mixing the ideas and experiences I have gained throughout the years led us to a concept that promises great outcome for the sport, athletes, fans and the media."

Suzuki Nine Knights is a unique media event, including some of the world's best riders and photographers as well as extraordinary features offering seldom shooting & riding options. I am proud that a lot of my fellows and good friends are coming to the Wildkogel in Neukirchen (Austria) for the 1st edition of Suzuki Nine Knights from August 20st - August 25th 2012 to have a good time and conquer the castle jump as well as trail section with me. The world´s finest mountain bikers will gather to form the Nine Knights, a most illustrious round table." - Andi Wittman
