Short interview

What was your first board?

Super old board called "Dominator"... hehe

Where did you go snowboarding the first time?

First time somewhere in Kaunertal when i was about 10 years old. I just tried to ride down a small lift once but it didn't work so well... so I went back on my skis. A year lather I tried it again with some friends at home. It was more and more fun... I couldn't stop doing it. After a short while I put my skis in the basement and never touched them again. The more I got to know this sport and the more options I had on my board... The more I fell in love with it!

Your favorit country?

Switzerland

Your best trip so far?

A five weeks trip to Canada (Whistler). I stayed there for the camp of champions. It was summer and after riding a great park we went down in shorts and jumped in one of the lakes...

If somebody would pay you a trip, where would you go and with whom?

With my Girlfriend to Alaska.... for Heliboarding.

Who are your favorit riders to hang out with?

I really like hanging out and shredding with my Nitro Team buddys Marco Smolla and Marc Swoboda. Also Friedl May, Arthur Longo or Werni Stock are really good friends, I love riding with.

What do you do besides snowboarding?

Snowboarding is a super big part of my life and so most of my activities, friends and time is related to it. Beside the snowboard world I also love to hang out or travel with my girlfriend or friends from at home.... like for example now - I'am about to leave on a surftrip to indonesia with my girlfriend ;-)
