Started snowboarding: When I was eight I got my first snowboard, but at that time it was only some backyard riding besides sledding haha! I was more interested in skateboarding back then. But when I started snowboarding daily in a ski resort, it was the winter of 2008/2009. After that first day it has been just snowboarding all the time. This coming season will be my 4th.
