You probably have a nickname - please tell us the story behind it.
My nickname is Luddy because my grandfather’s name was Ludwig.
Do you remember your first day on a snowboard?
Yes, after the first ten meters I was lying in the mud.
How did you learn new tricks back in the days?
An old friend of mine (Kojak) chased me over the kickers and so I learned my first tricks.
Why have you never stopped snowboarding since then?
You can always hang out with your best friends and you always have a lot of fun.
You probably have visited a bunch of different ski resorts already. What’s your favourite place, what was the most exotic and where would you like to live and ride in the future?
My favourite resort certainly is Hoch-Ybrig, and the most exotic one was New Zealand (Wanaka). After I’ve finished school I’d like to go to the States.
You also must have seen tons of snowboard videos in the past. What’s your favourite video part and why do you remember it?
Yeah, it’s Travis Rice in “More” because the music is so tight. Also, David Benedek in “Lame”, because he’s doing every trick there is on earth.
Let us know about your favourite trick! Do you have any specials in your trick bag?
Switch Backflip. Special tricks: all grabs!
What do you like most about Völkl Snowboards?
They’re the lightest boards on earth.
What about entertainment? Let us know about your gigabytes of MP3s and videos!
Babyshambles (Pete Doherty), Forest Gump, The Souns, Sizzla.
How do you make your stomach happy? You must have some favourite drinks and food?
Augustiner beer and Döner Kebap.
What was your best experience in life so far?
The trip to New Zealand last summer.
And finally, what is your biggest dream?
One year in Payboy Mansion.
Thanks to all my sponsors and everybody who helps me to get better.
And never forget: stay gay and be happy!
