Fuerteventura Holiday

admin — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 17:15:29 +0000

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

Maybe I Should Stay At Home?!

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!

Maybe I take the run on the left?!

The lovely table

Fabio had fun- me not (:

My Iphone has also not easy times.

Actually good weather but sketchy wind!

The Skiiers And ME

The last two days I spent in South Tirol – Val Senales. The park and the weather have been awesome, the problem was just that I was so motivated on the first day. The result: my foot f*** hurt. Anyway, it has been rather good fun, even with 7 skiers on the track. haha

Cruising the streets in italy is not always that beatiful- skeeeetchy riders down there!
