leading the pack!
leading the pack!

so happy about another line free of mistakes and being on the podium again

all i wanted was to be top 8 after the first 3 events of the season to make sure i can go to stop number 4 in alaska.

and here i am after the first 2 events leading the rankings.....

andorra has  beautiful peaks reminding me of my home mountains, and the upper part of the face was just the way i like it: steep, rocky, narrow.

had a super exposed drop at the top which is had to stick to survive which i did and it paid off ((-:

we are looking forwar to having the fieberbrunn replacement comp her as well, so stay tuned.

early summer day on achensee.
early summer day on achensee.

teaming up with the austrian SUP brand which makes the perfect boards for lakes, rivers & traveling

when bernhard winklehner, founder and boss of croslake approached me 2 weeks ago to ask me if i wanted to join the team, i did not hestitate to say yes. croslake produces a great range of inflatable SUP boards perfectly matching the needs of us mountain people who mainly venture out on lakes an rivers and are stoked to use a board that`s a little wider for extra stability and to bring the kids as well as it is super easily packable into any car.

 

since we will spend the next summers on the st. wolfgang lake in our summer house there, we will have loads of time to be on the water and if you wanna join us there to test the boarsds you are welcome!

check out a few pics of a first shooting for croslake with tommy bause.

reaching the top at 6.45 am
reaching the top at 6.45 am

High winds, temperatures of -25 Celsius (-13 Fahrenheit) and more tough conditions made our 2 day adventure at the bottom of northern tyrol`s highest mountain at over 3.700 meters a rough trip.

High winds, temperatures of -25 Celsius (-13 Fahrenheit) and more tough conditions made our 2 day adventure at the bottom of northern tyrol`s highest mountain at over 3.700 meters a rough trip.

together with rider chris fuschlberger and filmers martin knoch & juls walkner plus our moral support laura perfler, our plan was simple: hike up in the afternoon, do some sunset lines, sleep in the tents, hike early for a sunrise at wildspitze at 3.770 meters, breakfast in the camp, rider the famous taschachwand and go back down to cilvilisation.

the austrian freeride champs 2014!

What a weekend! I have never done a comp being sick before.....

After being sick with a weird virus i still knew i had to compete at the 4* fwq in obergurgl to take home the title ahead of alex hofmann. So i hiked to the start being feverish and in bad shape. It was a pity because the conditions were great and the face is a real big mountain the way i usually like it! So i rode an old man`s line with many small drops to 4th place, enough to keep alex (who won the comp) behind me in the overalls. Stoked to repeat my title from 2013 and looking forward to doing the triple 2015!!!!
