First edit

This is from Veroniqi Hanssen whose sister filmed basically the whole event. Thanks a lot!

I'm the one in the red-white plaid shirt. :)

I hurt myself at the Rhino Jam last weekend. I'm lucky though, it's only the ligaments in my ankle. I've had that before and I guess I'll be fully recovered in about 6 weeks. I have to walk on crutches at the moment but not for long I think.
The jam was awesome!! The level of riding was crazy, big props to Joelle Juchli, Steffi Kauer, Mary Luggen and also Veroniqi Hanssen who came all the way from Holland! Stay tuned for an edit...

Next weekend will be a blast, too: Friday, the Lipstick premiere tour is coming to Zurich, I'm really excited to see that movie. On saturday, there's the Isenseven premier and on sunday, the biggest gathering of the snowboarding scene in Switzerland will take place next door to where I live at the iceripper Flohmi!

And while I'm waiting for my ligaments to heal I can look forward to the new season which also means a new season of Crap show!

Last Day of Summer & How It All Began

Last wednesday, Carla and I went snowboarding in Zermatt. The weather forecast told us that it would be the last beautiful and warm day of the year, so we chose to celebrate the end of summer by going shredding - what else!
We have been to Zermatt twice this summer, once as coach (Carla) and assistant/Pausenclown (Gina) of the Girls Freestyle Camp (check it out: Swiss Snowboard Girls) and once for the Swiss Championships. We were waiting for a chance to check out the kickers and jib line by ourselves and it presented itself to us on said wednesday. Enough said, just watch the edit..
(I also put in some old footage that our daddy filmed when he took us to the snowpark on the Vorab Glacier in Laax in spring 2000 for the first time! I was 9 and Carla 8 years old back then.. Gosh, we're getting OLD!)




By the way, the song is taken from Architecture in Helsinki's newest album (which is rather awesome). Check the music video:




And here's another very inspiring video I just came across... It's so amazing how much talent, style and progression Leticia Bufoni has brought into women's skateboarding:

Whiteout Sister

My first coverage!
Check out the new Whiteout Sister! It's the biggest Swiss snowboard magazine for girls and I feel pretty honored to be in it. Thanks to Löru for the amazing photos. http://issuu.com/whiteout-magazine/docs/sister7/1

Another one

I keep discovering those stalefish pics... if anyone is wondering: YES, it is my favourite grab and NO, it never ever gets boring! :)

One from the Swiss Champs:


And two I just discovered, they are from a rail session back in August at a public pool. I got 3rd place. It was a very sketchy and hot contest and they only let us ride for 7 minutes but we had some fun anyways.


(I did a "backroll to blue stain on ass out" here)

Swiss Champs 2011

I got 2nd place and Carla 3rd at the Swiss Halfpipe Championships this weekend in Zermatt. The contest was so much fun after not riding for almost half a year and we were very stoked to be on the podium together!
Sadly, the big air competition was cancelled due to a thunderstorm up on the mountain. It was really scary!
