Interview

What's your feeling about the freeski coming to the O.G ? It gives a kick in "tradiotional" sports. I like the idea of seeing all kind of sports coming in the Olympic Games

What other things or activities do you like ? Base jumping, Free falling, Paragliding, Tennis, Golf, Snowboard and Playstation

What makes you feel really proud ? I'm not really proud of anything, but i'm glad to be still able to live by skiing and share my passion

What do you think about freeskiing future ? I'll tell you that tomorow, or maybe later. Actually, Freeskiing is always moving so that's so hard to tell what its future will look like. I'd say, as it will snow, freeski'll develop

What advices would you give to kids who want to be pro ? Wake up early, believe in your skills, work hard

What's the best spot ? At home, since I know the runs by heart

What's your favourite trick ? Take air, the style doesn't matter

What are your plans for this season ? Pump up the volume on the stereo, then move with rythm

Where do you think you'll be in 5 years ? Somewhere at the top of a mountain

A last word ? I've already shot 5 bullets of my magnum's barrel wich can only store 6… But who cares ?!!!
