How did you start snowboarding?
First I started with skis and I realized it wasn’t my cup of tea and I saw someone going down the slope with a snowboard and it looked so cool. So I went to whine to my parents that I wanna try snowboarding, but they didn’t have faith in me :) They said: “Let’s rent a snowboard for him and then he will see that it’s not gonna work out.” But in the first day I proved them wrong cause I learned to slide with the board in about 30 min and that’s how I started snowboarding.

Are there any other athletes in your family?
Well not really my little sister was a sprinter for a while but she quit that.

Have your parents supported you throughout the way?
What do they think about snowboarding for a living? Yeah they have. Sometimes a bit too much :) well actually I can’t say that I do this for living because I don’t get money at all except if I do good in contests :)

Favorite film: well there are so many good movies but one of the favorites is the lord of the rings
Favorite music: I listen all kind of music but mostly rock music
Favorite read: Hmm I don’t read much but Dan Brown’s books are great.
Favorite food: Moms food :)

Do you have any other hobbies on the side of snowboarding?
Playing guitar and I’m into any kind of sport.

Three words that describe Markus Malin?

What is your favourite memory from snowboarding?
Every time I learn a new trick, that’s the best feeling.
