The super talent from Les 2 Alpes, France, grew up with some good coaching. Former TTR World Snowboard Tour Champion 0506 Mathieu Crepel and Julien Haricot besides other members of the Psykopit Crew were pushing his riding level a lot in the past and today.

His TTR contest season 0607 started after new year in Davos, Switzerland where he raised first attention by battling with Terje for highest air trophy in the Quarterpipe at the TTR SIX(6)STAR O'Neill Evolution. He ended up in 6th position but came out confident enough to blast out such an enormous 7.5m Backside Air at the FIVE(5)STAR O'Neill Pro Freestyle three weeks later that the Judges awarded the title to him. Last but not least he got a personal invitation by Terje to come to "the Arctic" in March where he was riding with the big dawgs and finished 9th. Together with his other results and a second place at the TTR FOUR(4)STAR Billabong World Junior Pro he finished in 12th position in the TTR World Snowboard Tour 0607.

This season he's already back on track posting two early results in the Southern hemisphere at the TTR FIVE(5)STAR Burton New Zealand Open. He will also be taking part in the TTR SIX(6)STAR Air&Style Rookie Challenge in Munich on Dec. 1st 2007. Two new sponsors picked him up as well, namely Apocalypse Snowboards and Electric, to put him on their European team due to his performance last year.
