What do you focus on most – slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
Because of the Olympic Games, in the last two years I’ve ridden a lot of pipe, so I want to keep focusing on transitions. I don’t like to focus only on one thing though; I like to ride it all.

What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
Two years ago I went to AK for the first time. I hiked up a face that seemed easy to ride, but once up there I got really scared and felt so alone up there… It taught me a lot of respect for the guys that kill it in this kind of terrain.

You’re on the road a lot throughout the season – what is your favorite place to visit and why?
Every time I come back to France it’s a nice feeling. I really like going to Norway at the end of the season though. Last winter I made a quick stop in Bergen and I got totally hooked. I loved this little town, life seemed to be easy there, and I loved the architecture.

Sports, internet, girlfriend, cinema, reading a book; normal stuff for a normal day…

How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?
When TTR was formed, I wasn’t competing on the FIS tour anymore, so it was the only option for me to continue competing. I soon realized that I liked the atmosphere better on this tour, and that kept me motivated to continue riding contests.
