First snowboard: Can’t remember the brand, but it was a grey deck that my mom bought second hand and I used to shred it everywhere there was a little bit of snow.
First time stoked about snowboarding: I started, because I saw my bigger brother doing it and I used to copy all the activities he did. When I tried snowboarding for the first time around the age of 11 I got hooked straight away.
First snowboard video: One of the first movies that I watched and unless amount of times is Neverland by Absinthe Films. Particularly the opener part of Nico Müller and the section in Bosco Gurin with Gigi Rüf got stuck in my mind.
Favourite trick: Fs Tailgrab in the pipe tweaked to the very limit your ligaments can resist.
Favourite snowboarder: Nicolas Müller, Severin Van der Meer, Max Buri, Leandro Eigensatz, Yung Doli, Lars Popp,… all of them and so many more are my favourites.
Favourite spot: Send me a DM and I will tell you ;)
Worst trick: maybe those 1800+ spins?
Worst style on a snowboard: Instructor with a +18 / -18 stance
Worst brand: double-decker
Best thing about snowboarding: A good powder day in an enchanting landscape. That is literally magical!
Best thing besides snowboarding: Food & Music
Best thing about doodah: Best and realest shop in town!
