| Personality | Quote: “Each second I’m on the snowboard is so much fun, I simply try to have a good time and give my best in the contests. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it does not, c’est la vie.” | |
| Specialities | Nicolas is a big shot, who knows how to easily make everything out of nothing. Like no one else, he has reached an indescribable virtuosity to play with a given terrain. Wherever he is, even in the middle of the Sahara, he sees potential way of playing for himself and his snowboard in each barrier, hill or cliff. | |
| Sidelines |
With Absinthe Films, Nicolas makes movies and considers Optimistic? (also in addition to his performance) to be very important because it deals with the challenges for snowboarders which result due to the changes of the environment. Together with his snowboard colleague Fredi Kalbermatten and the designer Mauro Paolozzi, Niclas founded the street wear label Arcus in 2000. |
