Niki Gudex

InGameNow was lucky enough to catch up with Mountain Biker Niki Gudex. This one in a million girl brings an unmatched sex appeal to one of the roughest sports in the world.

IGN: Niki, thank you for taking the time to chat with InGameNow. You have had a very impressive career, both as a mountain biker and a model. The combo is a perfect fit for sports fans across the world!
IGN: You were born in England, and now live in Australia. What country do you think of as “home”?
NG: I travel a lot. My home is where my heart is. Which means as long as I am around the people I love then I feel at home. I guess Sydney, Australia is my home right now because that is where most of my family is.

Your summers are spent in Sun Valley, Idaho. Admit it, that is the best city in the world during the summertime.
Yes, Sun Valley in Idaho is a very beautiful place. It is filled with very fit and positive people.

You suffered a broken foot that kept you out of Beijing. How frustrating was watching this years Olympics?
It was frustrating but I had to let it go, it happened and I had to trust that it happened for a good reason.

We have interviewed many attractive athletes, and asked them about their perspective about bringing an element of sexiness to their sport. Anna Kournakova is the most famous athlete in the world for bringing sex appeal to her sport, how have you enjoyed being the face of mountain biking?
I am very happy that I have been able to bring more exposure to mountain biking, it is something I am very passionate about.

If you could sign 8 figure modeling deals right now with Victoria’s Secret, Burberry, and Dolce and Gabbana, but you had to retire from biking, would you trade in the bike?I will always ride a bike. It is one of the most liberating things in the world.

The vast majority of our readers are American Football fans. Who do you think takes a bigger beating, a running back, or mountain biker?
Hmmmmm… I know mountain bikers can take a beating. It’s hard to say.

What was your worst wreck to date?
Too many to think of. I have a spine and finger injury both healing at the moment.

InGameNow has interviewed some extreame athletes, including Kristi Leskinen andSarah Burke. We discussed with them who owns the mountain, boarders or skiers. Why don’t people bring up bikers as being the true Kings (or Queens) of the Mountain?
Two hot girls I know well from hanging out! They are really sweet. Hmmm, I think the mountain likes to have distinct summers and winters. The mountain becomes two different worlds depending on the season. They live in winters and I live in summers so we never see our mountains the same way.

For the record, when there is a good snow fall, do you strap on skis or a snow board?
I haven’t had a winter for about 9 years now, but I used to snowboard a lot. I’m keen to give skis a little bit of a retry just for fun.

InGameNow needs a good Graphic Design Artist. Know anyone good?
Would it better the 8 figure deals you mentioned above? Ha!

What is your best athletic memory?
Implementing the slow and steady wins the race theory as an 8 year old, it didn’t work. Being cheered on at the World Championships is always a good feeling, the spectators are always a mixed international crowd and you never know what they are going to yell to cheer you on.

Tell us about your goals and plans for the next year?
My plans for next year are to work hard, ride my bike and keep it fun!

You design your own label?
Yes! I have a signature line of clothing that I make for cycling in, with Castelli, a great Italian company who make amazingly comfortable cycling apparel. Check out http://www.castelli-cycling.com/ if you want some long lasting riding gear.

What type of athletes do you find sexiest?
Any athlete who takes care of themselves, is very passionate and doesn’t have an ego.

Finally, who is your pick for World’s Hottest Athlete….. hint, hint, think female :)?
Ana Ivanovic has a very natural beauty.
