Holiday is over. All in all it was a cool trip. The last week went down really fast- we were quad riding, visiting the zoo, making some party and checking out the whole island.
Now I am really motivated going snowboarding again- just wondering where the best spot has been this time?! Would be very thankfull for some tipps!
Sandman or Snowman?!
Now he is ready for the dangerous ocean!
Always jump with the head in the front- safety first
Childisch but still funny (:
Relaxing after all the “holiday stress” (:
Some Stuntman practice
Nice branding, Andi
Unfortunately you can find everything on the beach!
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 (:
That’s how I roll on the beach
That was the f*** door

Today I had a good day with my friends Marco “Fichtl” Feichtner and Pirmin Juffinger. There is nothing better than to shred around with your friends and having good times!! The only thing that makes me a little bit scared is that the glaciers are melting away so rapid. So once again: TAKE CARE FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENT! There should come a small tricktip in the next days- so stay tuned girls and boys out there.
Here some impressions of our one week shoothing in my home valley`s Silvretta Montafon and Arlberg.
We saved most of the hammers for the upcoming Nitro promomovie.
Thx Magnus for the edit!
Yesterday was our first day shredding on the mountain- it was so funny! After the third run we saw a good looking pillow. The only bad thing was that the spot was five meters behind the rope were the so called “danger zone” is. Lorenz and Pirmin went behind the rope to get ready, suddenly a women screamed from the chairlift that she will call the skipatrol. Three minutes later the skipatrol was here and took our seven day tickets! Thx biaaatch! At least we sticked our tricks… (:
Today we met our guide Nobu. At first we had a tough hike- about 2 hours. At the top of the peak we quickly figured that it was`nt a that good idea. BIIIZZARRRDD- so it was snowing and blowing like hell. This day sucks cocks in hell!
Last week the swedish Nitro guys arived in town. Motivated and really nice dudes! Most of the time we spent on the mountain to build kickers and other nice spots. I`m stoked that photographer Lolli is here aswell! His pics are amazing! Today we split up the crews- Magnus, Nils and me went on the mountain for another kicker. The other guys went to the “Downrail of death”- it`s a really long double-kinked rail in Lichtenstein.
We had a really great day and hope its going on like this!
Every day I see so much rubbish on the mountain- that makes me really angry! I can`t understand this… I mean, if everybody is so stupid?!

Please think about it! If you see someone who is thrwowing away his trash kick him in the ass and tell him that we should take care for our environment. If everyone gives a sh*t what happens to mother nature you can be sure that the atmospheric ozone gives us eveything back!
I know that some people don´t think about it when they throw somethin away- just save those facts in you brain.
