How do your
buddies yell at you? Any story behind your nickname?
My friends most time call me Peda, that’s
Peter in austrian slang.
What kind of
rider are you? How do you see yourself? Why?
I’m a jibber, but I also often jump kickers.
Most time I ride in park, except it snowed, then I love to turn some powder
lines.
What do you like
most about Völkl Snowboards and what is the most important product feature for
you (board/binding/fashion):
The technology of the boards is very good
and I really like the fastec binding system, because you can fix the binding really
fast! The best product feature is that Völkl produces economic friendly
products.
What’s your favourite
park?
My favourite park is in Flachauwinkl. The Absolut
Park is really nice, because you ride the whole line through the park, which is
1,4km long.
How do you
progress, learn new tricks? How do you train?
I try new tricks when I think that I’m going
to stick them. Sometimes it doesn’t work at the beginning, but after some
practice I get a better feeling for the trick and it works.
What is your
favourite trick?
switch backside 540
Name us your
favourite music / DJs / bands and/or movies
Most time I listen to hip hop and reggae,
but I also like electronic and dubstep.
What was your
best experience so far in life? Why?
Snowboarding and havin’ party, because it’s
soo much fun and you meet nice people.
Any role models
in your life or snowboarding career? Who do you want to meet?
I look up to Torstein Horgmo and the
Helgason Brothers, because they do the sickest tricks with an awesome style.
