This one is for the history books! The carpark in 4410 Liestal is currently being removed in order to build a new shopping mall. One can only hope the mall includes a nicely paved, rad, multi storey carpark, two spirals please, at opposite direction... ... a longboarders dream... gone!

Cameron Highlands... ... or should I rather say Cameron Highways? In any case, malay streetluger Abdil Madhzan and I had some fun riding straightish fast 10% roads. Malaysia's fastest hill might be up there; I hope it's not the case and I'll continue the search!

EuroTrip 2010 I'm in Europe for 1 month and I'll be racing the Euro Champs in Insul this weekend, Kozakov World Cup mid August and then a crazy invitational race in the lugetrack in Altenberg, Germany. There are two things to defend, my European Champion title and the victory at Kozakov. With all the work back in Malaysia, time for skateboarding and general work out was rare... let's see how it goes... I'm traveling in Patrick Switzer's (CAN) car together with John Barnet (CAN) and Ramón Königshausen (SUI). Thanks to my sponsors Abec11 and Airflow Skateboards for making this trip possible. Read my diary.

The World Champion Club These are the IGSA World Champions of the last 8 years. Can you name all of them? Will there be a new face joining the Club this weekend? PS: For the first time in my career, I'm not racing at the World Championships... I'm too busy with work at BLOCX in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. We design and build state of the art climbing walls and cave systems.

IGSA 2010 event guide My profile... Actually it's my 8th year! The Swiss World Cup in Altbüron 2002 was my premier, then I went straight to Hotheels in Austria where I placed 5th in the timetrials. The race got rained out, so I ended up on the 5th place which was of course a huge motivation for the following year!

Abec11 2010 team The Abec11 team has grown quite a bit and is now stronger than ever! I'm proud to ride for the wheel company with the most diverse lineup of wheels ever! Check out who's in the team...

Can it get any better? Two lanes, one way downhill, 7km, massive speedbumps at 60 km/h.... This is where a skateboard beats every car! Thanks to Sam for driving! I guess he killed his brakes that day!

Genting - one way love Found a sick slide spot at Genting Highlands, high above Kuala Lumpur. It's a barely used link from a parking lot back to the main road, supersteep and a bit bumpy in some places... Quite a challenge for sure!

Wang Kelian - Malaysia Besides a whole lot of green wheels, my Tag Heuer speedtrap and a speedsuit were packed in my bags, ready for high speed. However, the road in Wang Kelian turned out to be more of a freeride spot with fantastic hairpins and a roller coaster like section. If you want a comparison to some well known racetracks, then it would be Col d' Izoard mixed with some Kozakov, and a Jungholz Almabtrieb chicane that drops like the dipper at Mt. Panorama.... The last straight is above 100 for streetluger Abdil Mahdzan, my highest GPS speed was around 95 km/h. Due to that, we decided not to set up the speedtrap. Thanks to Abdil Mahdzan and his dad for the nice weekend and Loren Guevara for taking pictures and being our driver. A video is available either on the Airflow Skateboards youtube channel or right here in the media section. Picture by Loren Guevara

Airflow Skateboards 2010 I'm proud to finally show our new freerider, the «Fast and Furious» and new color versions of my updated promodel in wood, carbon and glass fibre. Both boards feature specifically designed concaves! The «Fast and Furious» has a 3D concave to lock your feet in place. The board features a concave middle section with raised edges and slight negative camber, also known as rocker. The Martin Siegrist Pro Model comes with a flat middle section and super direct raised edges, now for the first time on the entire length of the standing platform. Thanks to Chris Hart for making these boards and his wife Pia for creating awesome graphics! www.airflow-skateboards.com

Malaysia's fastest hill? Trial #1 Wow that hill looks pretty sweet! There are even a bunch of hairpins! And a super fast straight at the end. I'll be riding it really soon, despite the fact that it's way up north! Stoked...

Kuala Lumpur Malaysia On April 12th 2010, I moved to Malaysia with 140 kg of luggage including 6 skateboards, 50 sets of wheels, a mountainbike, 4 helmets, a speedtrap, a bunch of shoes and clothes... Reason for coming here is a industrial design job at Blocx - my job is the development of climbing walls and related accessories in 3d... In contrast to most peoples believe, Malaysia is not a country of the 3rd world, yes, roads are paved, often smoothly! Stay tuned, I'll show you... In the meantime, you can read an article on the malaysian longboard scene, published a while ago on different skate websites. Click here!

Airflow Speedwing 39" The latest board from Airflow Skateboards features a super thick foamcore and fresh looking fluorescent green ABS edges. The speedwing measures 99cm in length and 25cm in width. For me it's the first try, having Magun trucks on a topmount board. Let's see how that goes... edit: having ridden drop-through boards for the last seven years, the speedwing feels way too high!
