Dan Hanka and Luca Schuler may hail from different sides of Europe but they were both destroying to new Audi Nines set up last week. We took 10 minutes out from hot laps for an end of season catch up.
D - I feel a bit tired after all the skiing we’ve been doing here in Nines; and after the evening program we’ve had, but feeling great!
L - I have a little headache but that’s ok, could be worse.
D - I came from Russia from the Russian Freestyle Games skiing event. It was great they had a really cool set up in the middle of nowhere, nice people, and a great event. Stoked to go back next year.
L - I had the last world cup of the season in Seiser Alm then went back home chilling, spa, skating. I was happy with how that event went, I didn’t make finals but stoked on how I ski’d and had a good feeling.
D – My best day of season was the first day back from surgery. I was riding Stubai pre season September/October time.
L - I had an injury but it was good to be back on ski’s after quite a long break; so back on ski’s and was super stoked. Such a good feeling to be back on snow, so fun, I was enjoying it a lot. I went to Laax for a few days and that was so nice.
D - Extremely stoked to be here, it’s a dream situation right here
L - I think this is my 4th year at Nines, always super hyped. When it’s time for Nines I’m always pumped to come and ski free, no comps, just skiing and having fun.
D – I’ve found it super cool ‘cos there’s a different aspect we need to put in to our skiing ‘cos we’re only used to jumps. The course makes you ski differently which is real nice and good for everyone to experience something new and absorb different ideas. All the ski cross guys are super nice too and it’s good to meet different people from different discipline but kind of the same
L - This year is so nice I really like it, it’s like I ski’d the ski cross course in Saas fee this summer it was super fun. My father is really in to ski cross and I really like it as well, it’s super fun. The start gate is real fun then jumps.
D - I think Cork double shift 9 to Cuban is my favourite right now
L - Cork 5 blunt
D - I’ve just been adding on new bits to tricks I already do, refreshing older tricks basically.
L - Yeah I actually landed a sort of new trick, a new grab. Dub bio 12 mute, I was super stoked to land that in a run.
D – I’m going to Finland to Ruka to shoot an edit with Anti and Alex for Faction, a snowpark edit
L - I’m heading back home for Swiss champs then work a little bit then in the summer I begin the military stuff, a school for Swiss sports athletes.
