short update:
Tuff season start! Three days ago I almost died. Thx to Steve, CK and Beckna for telling us that a barbed wire fence was crossing our landing! I was shocked when I saw the two meter metal poles 10cm under the snow!
I had some intense days with Grilo so I rested two days before I drove to Zillertal on Sunday! The thing with resting days is that the pain is coming out! So I had already back pain when I got to Zillertal and on the first day shooting I twisted again my back super bad so that I had to ride and jump with super back pain! So my body is kind of fucked now and I need some more resting days and some therapy!
Thx to Werni, Christian, Mau and Justin for some nice but intense three days!
stay tuned!
Here are some pics of the kicker and the landing area that had the metal stakes and barbed wire… ohhh boy, Marco Feichtner, you one lucky SOB!

short update:
finally i am back home in montafon! i thought i am coming home to shred some slush snow but it started snowing and today i had some sick pow turns- so much fun ( pow in april)- and its still snowing!
about my trip:
i stayed 1 month in backer with werni, chris and justin! we had a great and productive time! the only thing what was not so cool at backer is the weather! it was raining, snowing almost everyday- you now what that means- wet as fuck every day- i don’t thing there is any material who is resistant against that wet weather( maybe rubber clothing’s) the locals call it cascade concrete! as i said we had some really nice days up on the mountain! not to forget, on the way back home i visit the ride office in seattle! thx matt for driving me around!
i think my filming season is over- i had a great season got some stuff and the best thing my body is still in a good shape ( no pain)!
talk to you soon- thx for your support-ride on!

Matt Schaer sent this vid in to us the other day. I don’t think we need any words to describe that action.
I hope everybody had a great Christmas!
I only wanna tell you that I started shooting with the pirates (some days before christmas). Since Christmas I’m snowboarding for myself! I will be back on the filming mission beginning of January.
enjoy the last days in 2011- and i wish you a great 2012!
talk soon

Marco Feichtner and his boys hit Cooke City near Yellowstone after Christmas last year and scored. There was so much snow, they were able to buck big air and land virtually in the flats, there was so much suspension. You have to see it to believe it.
