• Who / What inspires you? I'm inspired by pretty much every thing I experience, hear , smell, feel or see. It can be friends I ski and live with, it can be artists, who do amazing art works or musicians who play great songs. Many times it is even people I meet throughout traveling! This year I got to go to the Red Bull district ride to Nuernberg ( Germany) what I saw there inspired me for my sport. The district ride was the sickest city event for action sports I have ever seen. And even though it was mountainbiking, it totally inspired me for my skiing, I saw so many more possibilities what you can do on skis. I also get inspired by things like snow or the ocean. Being in the nature totally gives me room to get insired.
