2) Straight after Courmayeur I packed my car and moved to Obereggen for the King of Iron rail Comp. The setup by F-Tech Constructions was really great and the session was pretty funny.

The canon tube was the heart of the setup

I did some good tricks but judges were of the opinion that it wasn't good enough to take top spot.
Here is a little edit of board.TV

4) Straight after the Invitational McRae, Luka and me moved to Seiser Alm to enter the Red Bull Jib Ski Kings. Markus & Lukas Schäfer followed us later. We went to the Ridersmeeting on Saturday evening were we get invited to a fantastic dinner as well. After the bip-drow everyone went to bed tired.

Next day we checked out the course and it was superfun. Alex Berger designed a bunch of really creative obstacles and it was up to us to shred them properly. I made it to the final of the top 8 but my run was to less technical to reach the superfinal. At the end Markus Eder took the topspot of the podium in front of McRae Williams and Andreas Bacher.

check out the video of this unique event:



Hopefully we'll see this event next year as well, it was fun!

6) Last weekend it was time for the 5th F-Tech Shooting in Val Senales/ Schnalstal.

Needless to say that the park was simply great and lasershaped as usual. Unfortunately i bruised my knee on day2 when I went short on Big Bertha. Had to stop riding for the day and it sucked!!

I'm at home right now cause I've to rest for a few days to get my knee better. Partying, sunbathing an chilling.

Hope you enjoyed the update. Check back for more!
