I've never heard any story about him being a douche bag. I think ns just hates him because he's successful.

He was trying to afterbang. Almost came up short though. How much would that have sucked if he landed the back, but fell backward off the landing?

so i can say just the other side. ive been to freestyle.ch for, idk, 7 years now, and hes the only "top-level" rider i have ever seen standing around his sponsors' stand and talking to guys/giving autographs outside of those official signing sessions.

he actually talked to us for a few minutes, asked what were up to and was pretty nice.

and all the other guys are (at least i havent seen them) never around and just hang in the VIP tent.

The one time I met him he was chill as shit. We were hosting norams and he was racing, we were also hosting a small freestyle event in the park. He came over to the other side of the mountain the day he was competing and hung out with us while we gave out awards for Like an hour. Super laid back polite dude.

but it isnt even controlled by the guy in the car right? they just figure out the required angle and speed and hand the instructions to the driver.
cool i guess, but its not like when a snowmobile or a biker does one, because they actually control the flip with their weight

I can remember that Guerlain Chicherit was kicked of the Mini X-Raid dakar team last year for destroying his car on an off-day.

The guy is a boss, four times world champion in free skiing(1999, 2002, 2006 and 2007).
