- Snowscooting career
- 2Since 2003
- Why did you take up Snowscooting?
- Before Snowscooting, I skied and rode motocross and BMX. One day while skiing, I saw Nico on a Snowscoot at a local ski resort and I leapt at the idea. I’ve been Snowscooting since then. I get all of the satisfaction I do from BMX, both in the feel and in the ability to do tricks.
- What other sports are you involved in, and what hobbies do you have?
- When the snow is gone from the slopes I race BMX. This year, I am looking forward to competing on the FISE Experience Tour. I also ride on local trails. BMX is an excellent alternative to Snowscooting.
- What is the most dangerous moment you ever experienced?
- 2When I was Snowscooting on the PlayStation Tour in 2004, I crashed terribly doing a back flip. I injured my jaw and needed eight stitches in my tongue. I also hurt my neck. I can’t say it is the best memory of that tour – but it probably helped me become more proficient.
- What is the best thing about Snowscooting for you?
- The best single moment was when I made my first flip. But I always enjoy just riding with my friends. Last summer’s trip to New Zealand was particularly good. I would be happy if I could continue Snowscooting forever.
- Please tell us about your riding style and what model you use.
- I use the JykK67 Titanium and think it’s perfect. The frame has the same angle as a BMX and is unbelievably light. The frame and fork can handle any condition in the backcountry as well as in a snowpark. In addition, the set of rather thin boards allows me to ride quite aggressively.
