Thanks and a big shout out to the whole MBM crew you guys are the truth! I’m stoked to have this shot in the mag, it was my only photo from the whole week, when you usually have loads of good shots and a hard time deciding which ones are the hot s%*T.

This was an awesome day with the whole fam up on hoch ybrig
Check out this insane thing we just built up at the nbc chill area. Photographer claudio casanova got the sunset shots and we rode down in total darkness with a smile on our faces.
Just spent 3 days in laax and diavolezza with the homies crew, we didn’t have to much luck with the snow but it was still nice weather and good vibes. in diavolezza we made a fun stepdown kicker shown in the first picture, and the second one is a kicker that didn’t really work out in laax. so i’ts back to hoch ybrig…

I just got the wallpaper of the week on the snowboarder mbm website!
i’m rockin it on my monitor…
Der Weekly-Wallpaper-Wahnsinn betritt eine neue Dimension: Dieses Foto ist auf der letztjährigen Monster Session am sogenannten "Titten-Gap" im Kleinwalsertal entstanden. Mike Knobel zeigt Pop und rockt den in seiner Form sekundären Geschlechtsteilen ähnelden Spot nach allen Regeln der Kunst. MBM-Senior-Photographer Dominic "Howzee" Zimmermann war zum Glück mit am Start, um diesen wunderschönen Fs 360 Indy für euch festzuhalten...
Here you can see a happy Bataleon crew fresh of the chopper, now that’s what i call team building! It was great to go heliboarding and win the gangz of thyon for the third time in a row then party the f*+k out all in one weekend. The funny thing was three of our team members celebrated their birthdays throughout the week. It was a great present indeed. Oh and i must mention, the air show during the contest was totally nuts! paragliders, skydivers, wingsuits and an insane acrobatic plane made us ooh and aah for almost half an hour.
here’s a short clip:
Niels got knocked the fuck out by the bungee handle.
Yes, helsinki is a hell of a city, great clubs, nice sightseeing und tons of street spots. We got some stuff done, not too much though, but overall it was just a fun experience.
This one is to celebrate the NBC crew’s 11 year anniversary. www.naturalbornchillaz.ch check it out… Also you can view the movies here:

The 2011 Doodah ad that was published in mags like Onboard and Whiteout, plus a bunch of lift masts across the country. Photography by Mr. Howzee.com
Check out this insanely edited cinema clip for DooDah which will be shown at local theaters. And no, we didn’t blow up the kicker, that actually was my first jump over it. Also take time to check out the new doodah website www.doodah.ch with my team profile.
enjoy 12 secs of mayhem 
Drove back from Cooke yesterday, really bummed that i have to return to Europe where there’s not much going on besides shredding the parks. But there will be some dope partys at the Ispo and the 401 afterbang which i’m looking forward to!
Here some nice and soft slams from powder paradise for all you guys over in europe lol…

The last two days we had lots of snowfall and fog so we decided to look for more spots, and we stumbled upon some neat stuff and set up a kicker which is probably covered under a thick blanket of fresh as i write this. Four out of five members of our crew got sick and vomited the night away, i’m the last man standing, every day another victim so i’m afraid it could be my turn today haha.
