Favourite Move: The Whip! Such a classic move, I love to see the freestyle motocross guys doing them on their motorbikes

Worst Crash: That must be in Madrid 2008. I crashed really bad on a 40 feet double jump. I passed out for some minutes & broke my thumb which needed surgery. Pretty bad crash, it took me out for 5 weeks

Never travel without: My Snowboard, a lot of warm cloths and a computer filled with movies

Favorite spot in the world: The mountains, doesn’t really matter where I just love being in the mountains

On my IPOD: All sorts of music Pink, Robbie Williams, Offspring, Panic! at the Disco

Inspired by Loads of people from my Belgian & Dutch snowboardbuddies to Lance Armstrong.

Best thing about being a Pro snowboarder: Travelling all over the world and seeing the most beautiful places & having fun there.

Biggest challenge about going pro: Thinking about the things you do, don’t get hurt doing stupid things

1 piece of advice for other snowboarders: Go for it, its soooo much fun!

Goal for this year
: Riding really fast and qualifying for the World Champs & The Olympic Games.
