You probably have a nickname - please tell us the story behind it.
“7–on” because of “Sim-on”!
Do you remember your first day on a snowboard?
I was really really young back then.
How did you learn new tricks back in the days?
I don’t know, I think I just tried them in the pow.
Why have you never stopped snowboarding since then?
Because it’s the best thing ever.
You probably have visited a bunch of different ski resorts already. What’s your favourite place, what was the most exotic and where would you like to live and ride in the future?
The best place to ride is Westendorf because I know all the good spots. But I would really like to go to the States to ride all the big parks.
You also must have seen tons of snowboard videos in the past. What’s your favourite video part and why do you remember it?
There are so many good snowboard movies but I really like “Patchwork Patterns” cause it’s so funny.
Let us know about your favourite trick! Do you have any specials in your trick bag?
My favourite tricks are BS 9s and SW BS 5s because they feel so good if you stomp them. I also like shifty spins.
What do you like most about Völkl Snowboards?
Everything!
What about entertainment? Let us know about your gigabytes of MP3s and videos!
Normally, I listen to reggae/dancehall stuff and hip-hop. And more and more electro.
How do you make your stomach happy? You must have some favourite drinks and food?
My favourite food is pizza and I really love ice tea and beer!
What was your best experience in life so far?
My first BEOs in Laax when I was twelve because the kickers were so big.
Keep shredding!
