/ Play with the elements...
share:
"Together with my brother Andi, I grew up in Sicily and then moved to the Tyrol, in the middle of Europe, to live out our love for the snow and extreme sports. The best resort to position our home base. Sport is my way of life, and extreme sport is my religion. I'm not a churchgoer and I feel that God (and my grandparents) are much closer to me when I encounter the strength of His elements, and I am in harmony with nature. Live your life as hard as possible! Be cool, be sick, be overwhelmed ... just BE!"
