Right now I am enjoying the sun in Fuerteventura. I arrived on thursday and as usual I got hurt on the first day. My buddy Andi threw down a bottle, I wanted to bring him the broom quickly. Unfortunately I didn`t see that the glass door was closed- I crashed against it and the whole door broke. My hands were blended pretty deep- I even saw the bone on both hands. I went to the doctor and she fixed it with approx 8 stiches.
Last year was crazy, everytime when I left my valley I got hurt, except of China because I was already injured… (:
Every snowboarder has a hard season once in his lifetime, and my hardest season has been this winter -definitely. however, to be honest, it’s really important having a bad season like I had, cause you learn alot out of mistakes and there is no other way to learn more out of than your own troubles. Big thanks to my Zen masters Fichtl und Markus Keller, you taught me a lot.
Apart from my hands it’s really nice here, always good weather, nice people, beautiful beach and so on. Today we went surfing- actually I thougt that there is a little surfer in me but there isn’t -.- I am not made for the water- should better stay on the frozen one.
Ready for the fight club (:

From tuesday to thursday I spent the days in Italy. It took Pirmin and me 7 1/2 hours to get there. We ended up in a beautiful small village -it looked like a mix of Japan and Rumania. Japan because of the snow and Rumania because of its creepiness.
We met Christoph Weber and Marco Smolla in the hotel room. We decided to wake up early to catch the first lift. Peppe the boss had other plans- he decided that the lift stay closed. Why? Nobody really knows…
We had a lot of snow, sadly it was too warm. So the snow felt down and was already heavy.
At the second day we took some nice runs under the lift and did a double rail. After the rail Marco and Christoph had the idea to build a “landing hole”- I have never seen somebody shoveling a hole in the landing?!
Good times even the snow wasn’t good.
Free W-lan is here to be used (:
I think this little girl watched the whole day Tv. Looks like she’s pretty stoked.
Today I went to Serfaus with Fabio. It’s further to my place as I thought- about 1 hour by car.
Unfortunately they have the same problems as my homeresort, to less snow and too much skiers. (: They have two parks. One jib park and one with the kickers plus some other cool stuff- for sure one of the best parks I have ever seen.
As usual I had enough space in my bagagge to take my bad luck with me. First of all the wind blew me straight on the table- good massage for my acl. After that I just jibed around and hurt myself on the rail. Then my knees and feets were completely over, so I went down.
Thank´s god for another trip with a lot of pain!
Yesterday I arrived in Val Senales. I´m here with the Nitro guys for some park and product shooting. The kicker is huge-about 25 meters, but after the first try´s we found out that the landing is pretty flat. Not too bad for me- there was about 30 cm powder beside the park! (:
Today we went to the other side of the hill and found a little cliff- with the best landing ever. About 3 cm pow and under it ice, yeah…After that we build a small roller, I was not really into this sketchy jump so I picked out my cam again.
