What is your favourite place to ride and why?
I think one of the most fun parks to ride is Absolut Park in Flachau Winkl. They have a pretty long line with a bunch of fun features to play around on and at the top of the run there are 2 big jumps to chuck some tricks.
For powder riding I like Gerlos in Zillertal a lot! There are so many lines you can do without needing a sled or anything.

What age did you start snowboarding?
I started snowboarding when I was 9 years old.

What snowboarders do you most look up to?
I’ve always looked up to Mikkel Bang. From when he was a kid in “White Balance” until now! And definitely Travis Rice as well.

What do you focus on most – slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
I’m focusing on slopestyle and big air. I’ve never had the chance to ride any pipes when I was young since there weren’t any on the indoor slopes. So I never got the same feeling in it as I have on jumps. That’s why I like jumps more and find it easier to ride.

What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
I think that is the Air & Style in Beijing. The whole combination was just perfect! First time in China, first Air & Style, my best BS 12 ever and getting 2nd place!

Your on the road a lot throughout the season – what is your favorite
place to visit and why?
I always love going back to the places where my career started, which are Gerlos and Flachau Winkl. Gerlos is just always a fun time shredding with the guys from the Hotzone snowboard shop. And in Flachau Winkl I always do more backflips in 1 day than I do in the rest of the season.

What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
I try to wake up before noon, haha. Then will go for a gym session, do some emails and have a little beer in the evening.

How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?
TTR has definitely made my career for a big part. Without those contests I would’ve never become a known snowboarder. I’m a real contest rider as well so all those contests have pushed my level a lot. And for every contest I try to get new tricks to get an as good result as possible.
So thanks TTR!
