Andreas says his back-to-back gold medals in Winter X Slopestyle (2007, 2008) are what he's most proud of, along with his 2007 ESPY nomination for Best Male Action Sports Athlete. He's been a dominant rider for years with a solid style and ability to spin with the best of them. He finished a disappointing sixth in Slopestyle at Winter X '09, which he attributes to a lower back injury suffered a week before the event and a sprained ankle he suffered during practice. In the '09-'10 season he's going to focus on more technical rail tricks and plans to bring his new switch backside 1260 to Winter X.
