Lyon’s Skate park (France) and Emmering’s private bike park (Germany) - Your most memorable day on the scooter, and why?
I think that was probably when I tried the bagjump™ for the first time at the freestyle.ch. That was absolutely amazing. You can just try everything you want. What a perfect feeling ! - What/Who influenced you the most in scootering?
Probably Terry Price, Eric Rabl and Martin Kimbell. They were the best riders in Europe in 2005. Actually, Terry Price is still one of the best in the world. - Whats on your Ipod?
Hip hop, dubstep, electro and rock music. I love “The Glitch Mob” - Last memorable Party?
Everytime I’m with my friends and girls, it’s a sick party - How do you avoid to hurt yourself?
I just try some tricks I know I could land - How and where do you train on new tricks?
I always try my new tricks on concret and sometimes it‘s very dangerous. I hope it’s gonna change with BAGJUMP™ haha - Waterramp, foampit or BAGJUMP™? And why?
BAGJUMP™ !!! Because I tried these 3 things and the bagjump™ is the only thing where I’ve never ever hurt myself. The landing is just sooo soft. - New tricks learned on BJ? Any contest-winning tricks?
Not yet. But hopefully soon - How much more progression is possible, will double backflips be standard next season?
I don’t know because I’m still afraid to throw it on concret. But I’ll probable try it next year. - Any last words?
BAGJUMP™ is the greatest thing I‘ve ever ridden. Can‘t wait to ride it again !
