What would be the first question you wouldn’t have an answer for?
Erm… I don’t even know a question…
What in your eyes made you what you are today?
Me, myself and I did. :-)
How did you get into this?
My Dad bought me a snowboard for my 7th birthday... Since that time I am addicted to snow and my snowboard.
What is the meaning of style and who’s got it in your eyes?
Someone who has style is for me someone who pulls really big tricks and makes them look soooo easy... like Shaun White does...
How would you describe your personal riding style?
I love to shred around... jumping over stumps, branches and rocks or just jibin´ in the park over some boxes...
What’s your best trick you are currently pulling and what are you working on?
270s on anything… boxes, rails, stumps… I just love them and try them wherever I can.
What do you consider a good achievement for a rider and what is yours?
Being in the snow pretty much every day in winter and having loads of fun with all my friends.
Which was your most dangerous moment in your shred life? What happened?
I almost fall into a 70 meter deep crevasse while riding offpiste and could get rescued by the mountain rescue service.
What do you do when you don’t ride?
Work, party, eat, sleep… other sports like running, mountain biking, wakeboarding…
In case you wake up in a bad mood, what is there to save your day?
Good breakfast, good music on the way to work.
Let’s say you are the president of our world. What would you change right now?
U.S immigration regulations ;-)
What is there what money can’t buy for you?
Being able to enjoy my life as I do now...
Here is your plane ticket to AK. Your quiver is ready, so you got 10 minutes to pack your privat 20 liter bag. What would you stuff inside?
What music do you listen to?
Hip Hop, R´n B
What pisses you off big time?
Stupid tourists; especially standing in my way. ;-)
What do you do to really calm down in case you are pissed off?
I am never that pissed off… I always think to take it easy and don’t care too much about someone else who tries to make me angry.
Are you afraid of a flat planet?
Of course I am… I really need the mountains… summer and winter.
Any personal manifesto you are living by?
Everything happens for a reason…
How do you pick up chicks?
Well, I am a girl so I don't need any pick up phrases, but the worst I have ever heard from a boy was: Do you believe in love of the first sight or do you want me to walk past again?
Your daily contribution to make a better world?
Smile.. Beeing friendly to all the people around me although I am not having that good time. That makes my little world a better place.
How do you see yourself in 10 years from now?
I have no idea... I would love to see myself in a big house, a nice husband and two lovely kids... But that is just a dream... you never know what happens...
What will you do after this last question?
Going back to work.
Thank you for your time.
