2007
The year included more traveling than ever before. The summer was not the most successful in terms of contest results, but I was able to go to China and Mexico for X-games and I made my best out of the traditional Euro-schedule. Another exotic location was Bulgaria in boiling hot July, a demo trip with Kingpin magazine. In October I found a way to conquer yet another corner of the world, a demo on the Reunion Island, a tiny piece of land in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The volcanic origin of the nature was something amazing I hadn’t seen before. In November, like it hadn’t already been enough, I got to skate the first “mini mega ramp” in Italy (and in Europe) among the first Euro skaters. Man, you can’t stop climbing up in a repeat for another 360 over the gap into a big aerial on the quarter pipe. Vert skating really does get to another level with these super jumps.
Summa summarum, 2007 was the year when placed 3. World Vert rankings. Pretty well done considering, that I come from a country that doesn’t even have a vert ramp at the moment.

2006
I had bought a video camera a year earlier, but I hadn’t really used it that much until I was in OZ. The sunny weather made things look cool. I got more and more into filming. As a result there was enough footage to put together a nice video part before the summer. Mare had filmed me in Europe during the second half of ’05 and in February he flew across the Atlantic, and I took the other way around. So, we met on the West Coast. We drove around Nevada and Arizona for a week.
On the same trip my girl also taught me how to drive in LA. I have never owned a car, so driving lessons were in order. Anyway, Mare had captured enough footy for a sick video part.
I went to a lot of events around Europe during the summer season, and as a result, I got invited to a big competition Dallas in the late October. That was my 1st PRO comp in US, and I was already 31 years old! I stayed in Southern California for 2 months, and went back home for Christmas. Things were fine.

2005
A trip to America after a long while. Being fortuned to get on board on a road trip thru Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and back to California. It awoke me that there were all these *RAD SPOTS*to go to, and I was not alone as a skater. In May the new repaired 36ft wide vert ramp was ready to be ridden next to the summer cabin. A lot of people were helping me out to make this little piece of heaven possible.

As I turned 30 on the 23rd of September, I beat the current world champion in a head-to-head final of freestyle.ch in Zurich. With the prize money I was able to buy a computer and a flight to Australia. The state of living rose dramatically.
