\r\nRacing background
\r\nSkiclub Arlberg Member
\r\nFreeride-Competition-Skier since 2016 <\/p>\r\n\r\n
I discovered my passion for skiing already, when I was 3 years old and my dad taught me how to ski. Since then I loved it to ski off-piste and take some small jumps. Strasten freeride smu\u010dar Strast do smu\u010danja sem odkril \u017ee pri treh letih, ko me je o\u010de nau\u010dil smu\u010dati. \u017de takrat mi je bilo vše\u010d smu\u010danje zunaj smu\u010darskih prog in majhni skoki.
\r\nYet I wanted to be a skiracer so I mostly skied in the gates until I was 15 years old, which became the foundation of my skiing-technique.
\r\nThen in 2016 I wanted to try something different and skied my first freeride competition. It was awesome, I instantly fell in love with the sport and knew this was definitely going to be part of my future.

\r\nRELATION TO STEFAN HÄUSL <\/strong>
\r\nIn 2017 I joined the Skiclub Arlberg and had the great opportunity to train with former FWT Rider Stefan Häusl in his freeride team.
\r\nI learned so much from him, especially in the aspect of competitive freeriding and how to deal with often very stressful competition situatios.
\r\nI am super thankful to have someone like him and still receive very useful tips and tricks over the time.

\r\nTekmovalec v freeride smu\u010danju od leta 2016<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\nVendar sem si \u017eelel postati tekmovalec, zato sem do 15. leta starosti ve\u010dinoma smu\u010dal med vratci, kar je postalo temelj moje smu\u010darske tehnike.
\r\nLeta 2016 sem \u017eelel poskusiti nekaj druga\u010dnega in sem smu\u010dal na svojem prvem freeride tekmovanju. Bilo je super, takoj sem se zaljubil v ta šport in vedel sem, da bo to zagotovo del moje prihodnosti.

\r\nPOVEZAVA S STEFANOM HÄUSLOM <\/strong>
\r\nLeta 2017 sem se pridru\u017eil smu\u010darskemu klubu Arlberg in imel odli\u010dno prilo\u017enost trenirati z nekdanjim tekmovalcem FWT Stefanom Häuslom v njegovi freeride ekipi.
\r\nOd njega sem se veliko nau\u010dil, zlasti z vidika tekmovalnega freeridea in obvladovanja pogosto zelo stresnih tekmovalnih situacij.
\r\nZelo sem hvale\u017een, da imam nekoga, kot je on, in še danes prejemam zelo koristne nasvete in namige.
