His mother encouraged all three of her sons to ride, but Henrik was the only one who showed any interest. He took up the sport at age 14. (globalchampionstour.com, 16 Nov 2015)

His parents took him to an international competition in Gothenburg, Sweden. He was impressed by the jumpers and thought that it was something he could do. "I had tried a lot of other sports and I was no good at them. I liked animals because I grew up on a farm." (ludger-beerbaum.de, 12 Apr 2016; globalchampionstour.com, 12 Jul 2014)

"If you don't step out into the unknown, you will never grow. If you don't fall and hurt your knees, you will never learn to cycle. If you don't risk something in life, you will never learn. But if you do, if you challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone, you have a good chance to succeed. To win. And that to me is what life is." (equilifeworld.com, 27 Feb 2017)
