goodbye NZ! buenos dias CHILE!

The trip to NZ was definitely a big success! I had a great time at the World Heli Challenge and ended up first at the freestyle day. After that, the Winter Games where on the Timetable but unfortunately I didn’t compete… My knee was feeling bad so I chilled for a week and made it stronger!

After the games and a big party, Fabbro Matthias, Lukas Schäfer, and I went up north to the Club Fields to catch some POW and shoot with Sean Balmer and Fabrice Wittner for the next Downdays Digi-Mag. Unfortunately the snow was pretty bad but with lots of hiking we found some funny spots and one cool line!

If some of you guys come to New Zealand you should definitely go to the Westcoast and check out the Glaciers and the Rainforest! We went there on the way back to Wanaka and it was simply amazing.

Back at Snowpark I had the pleasure to shoot up on Snowpark with a Red Bull Heli and the Völkl Wall of 2013 which should be a secret. Right the day after the NZ Open started and I got second at the semi finals. The parkshapers had to change some obstacles again because it didn’t really work out and I had lots of problems to figure out a good run. I couldn’t get my head clear and crashed on every final run…

As the finals where over we drove straight to Queenstown to catch my flight at 5pm! And now finally I’m chilling here in the incredible W Hotel at Santiago de Chile with my buddy Nicolas Vuignier!
