Did you have any bad Injuries in your career and how did it happen?
I had a dislocated knee from a kiteloop. Other than that, just minor stuff.

Explain how you got into being sponsored?
I contacted the Swedish North retailer just when North was launched in 2001, showed them a video clip with me kiting, and hooked up with them. Later, after getting a few decent PKRA/KPWT results, I got in contact with North International and got a deal with them. I finally ended up starting to work for them, developing their boards.
