dachstein & absolutpark flachauwinkl - Your most memorable day on the Snowboard last Season, and why?
I guess it was at the air&style in Innsbruck, it was my first time competing with a almost 50 000 crowd – insane! :) - What/Who influenced you the most in Snowboarding?
In the beginning it was my uncle, because he was the one who teached me the first freestyle moves and brought me into the sport…later on it was just my passion & guys like devun, jp, mfm, terje…who I saw in the first movies… :) - Whats on your Ipod?
A lot of blues & easy going old music plus some hiphop classics - Last memorable Party?
Holy moly – that was a party in NZ with my dowg wojtek, right after he got his first tattoo we wanted to celebrate… puuuh, first girls we met, told us that his new anchor is pretty lame… so we drank even more… don’t know too much about the rest… :) - How do you avoid to hurt yourself?
Just hitting the bagjump™ all the time… :) I dunno, maybe just a good mixture of selfcontrol & a bit of training so your body is ready for stuff - How and where do you practice on new tricks?
Mostly on icy slopes… NOPE, bagjump™ for shizzle…maybe powder! - Waterramp, Foampit or BAGJUMP™? And why?
I did waterramp years ago and got knocked out….never tried foampit … but loved the bagjump™ pretty much every single try…. It just feels the best, you are coming in on snow, taking off on a snow kicker however you like it, not some weird constructions….and just land pretty soft – sweet! :) - New tricks learned on BJ? Any contest-winning tricks?
I am not too much of a comp rider, but def learned some new stuff, tried a lot of funny doublecorks … - How much more progression is possible, will double flips be standard next season?
They already are… :( haha… I guess I am gonna stick to the rails :) - What else can we expect in the future of snowboarding, where will the progression go?
Hopefully not too fast too far… but right now its just progressing like crazy, within one season the doubles became standard & even triples were landed… halfpipe riding got insane, cause of Olympics and jibbing got hardcore & creative at the same time... :) just hope it doesn’t look like freestyle skiing with the hands soon... :) in my opinion style always matters!!! - Have you ever tried Freedrop®, Freeclimb or your Bike into the Bagjump™? How was it?
Never – but hopefully as soon as possible! It looks like fun! - What was your highest jump into the Bagjump™?
Just off snowkickers – maybe about 7-8 meters… - Most memorable Trick into the Bagjump™?
backflip - How did you hear about Bagjump™, when was the first time you tried it?
Rasi – the owner of bagjump™ was the first one who told me about it… and this last season was the first time I tried that, but hopefully not the last time….def wanna get more sessions on this thing! - Where do you see Bagjump™ in 5 years?
On the moon maybe!? :) - Any last words?
Thanks rasi for inventing the bagjump™ – it’s fun & helpfull progressing at the same time! :)
Happy days - marc
