in 2006 after a 10 year break I restarted my ski jumping career. At the IMC World Championship 2007 in Hinterzarten I met and got to know Alan for the first Time and we had a great week together. Jason Started ski jumping in my Hometown of Hinterzarten and we met drank a couple of "Tannenzäpfle" together and a friendship has grown. Summer 2007 IMC SGP Einsiedeln ,in a crowd of masters, I met James and Robert and we had the best party there, it was great and I`m lucky that i could jump for the best Team.
