What is your favorite trick?
Hard to decide, there are so many nice onces, actually I love rails and kickers a lot but its also a good feeling to boost a massive and classic front blind tail... 

How long have you been riding?
1994 with the skurfer and 1997 with the wakeboard, so this is my 15th year... crazy....

What do you want to do as riders rep?
It is very interesting to see behind the scenes and its amazing how much work such a small hand of people are doing. A big respect, consider that they are all volunteering.
My part is, to reflect the view of a rider and represent the riders needs and interests. Everyone is welcome to tell or write me his ideas to improve IWWF Cable Wakeboarding Events. 

I will give my best to be a communication channel between riders and officials.

What do you love the most about wakeboarding?
That after such a long time, I still have so much satisfaction, I still learn new tricks. It keeps me in shape... and its amazing how much people I meet and party´s I rocked all over the world, just because of the same passion.

Where do you see the sport in ten years?
Thats a surprise for all of us but definitely positive developed.

Sponsors?
Malibu Boats, Energie AG, Adidias Originals Eywear, ION, FOX, Liquid Force, Shape Obstacles, Blue Tomato, TSG, Grounded

Tell us about your new 2.0 setup?
I can just say whaow... so many people made hugh progress with the system 2.0 and had loads of fun.
In my oppionion, the biggest advantage is that just a view seconds after a slam, you get the handle back and can try immediately again, don't lose time, don't lose focus.... thats a super effective learning... and no swimming ha ha. I love it.

Parting words?
Thank you!
