Why are you Ästhetiker: There is no why. You are or you are not!
Inspiration: A lot of inspiration comes from very
good friends, which I go ride with. The Ästhetiker’s, my Bro and a lot
of other very good shredders.
Message: Keep snowboarding real and have fun with
your buddies out in the natureA little story (200 words) tell what’s
going through your mind
Best Story to tell:
Snowboarding has changed a lot in the last 10 years. Not only the tricks
went more and more crazy but also the business itself. A few years ago
people said that snowboarding is stagnating. But it’s just half true.
Selling in Snowboard industry is stagnating but the Snowboard community
is rising every year. I have never seen so much very young (14-18)
snowboarders then lately. Kids are still motivated to go snowboarding
and have fun with there friends. And that’s all about what the
Ästhetiker want to bring into this world.
So I’m really stoked to be still on top and ride with all the young
stars at the same level. I could prove that it is not a problem to shred
hard and rock also in higher age.
I had a really good season 07/08 and becoming 32nd and best Austrian in the TTR-World tour is not a bad thing.
I’m looking forward for the upcoming season 08/09 and hope that it’s going to be an amazing one!
