SECRET HOBBY

I really like Mountain biking and I used to be a gamer

WHAT ARE YOU SEEKING WHEN YOU SKI ?

Speed, flow and big cliffs!

BEST SKI MEMORY

The first time I dropped the legendary "högsta" (Translation *Highest) drop in Åre. I had a few drinks the night before, felt like a bag of old rusty ice skates and did not want to send anything. But all of a sudden we where there, one guy who has jumped it before went of and I don't know what got into me, I just thought "naa, let's just go for it" I jumped it and after what felt like the longest airtime of my life (the cliff is 22m) I stomped it but felt it all the way through my body. Also, just as I went to my friend who was still up on top when I jumped of screamed "Aaaahhhhh sh*t" Because now he knew he had to do it. He did and stomped it as well! Good day and it cleared the hangover right out.

BIGGEST SKI ACHIEVEMENT

Freeride World Champion 2012 and 3 times winner of Xtreme Verbier.

GREATEST EXPERIENCE

One run I had on Bec des Rosses during the Verbier Xtreme 2010, great snow year and I got to do my line, but after a few riders weather came in and the comp was aborted. Some more snow came in over the night and I got to ride again in even better conditions, I also knew I had some improvements I could do, so now I felt super motivated and confident on a really big line and skied it with so much enjoyment. I only ended up 6th but it was still the best run I've had on that mountain I think.
