The effervescent Patrick is doing all he can to make his dream come true. He is learning to master all sides of snowboarding and making a mockery of the boundaries along the way. Halfpipe, slopestyle or backcountry, he throws himself headlong into the air, distinguishing himself through his style and dexterity. He would say: \u201cI don\u2019t do pipe, slope or BC, I snowboard. I take all the best bits out of what I discover along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pat\u2019s first 360 at the age of ten set his line. All he wanted to do was to take off. Four years later he joined the ranks of Swiss Snowboard and the year after that he lined up against the big guns (Shaun White, Iouri Podladtchikov). His ambition had opened the doors to the top flight and catapulted him into the top 5 on many occasions.<\/p>\n<p>However, fate spares no man, and like many top-level athletes, Pat got injured twice. Although his season suffered, his determination remained unaffected and using this drive, Pat worked hard to come right back to the forefront of the scene. As soon as he laced back up his boots, Pat climbed podiums and sabered champagne bottles again. \u201cWhen I\u2019m training, and it\u2019s getting tough, I remind myself why I\u2019m doing all this. Snowboarding is my motor. Then I know that the next time I launch, I will be stronger. This simple thought makes me reach new heights.\u201d More than just a sport, snowboarding is a lifestyle. Being passionate by nature, his stoke is expressive and his energy contagious; having him around guarantees a good atmosphere. When he starts playing the guitar with a smile on his face, right away you feel obliged to nod your head approvingly. \u201cWhen I ride, play or when I drive, I go into another world. My concentration kicks in and everything disappears, I don\u2019t think any more. I live.\u201d He is a unique spirit.<\/p>\n<p>When we talk about the future, he reflects: \u201cMy future, adulthood, it shouts at me to live my youth to the fullest. And to say that it\u2019s already been eight years of trying to make my dream come true.\u201d Hearing these words, you realise what he\u2019s all about. This thirst for freedom and the ability to be committed heart and soul to what he does make Pat unique. He is not just following the life paths presented to him; he takes it to the airways, taking us along with him In 2011, Pat was the 1st man on earth to land the Switch Backside Triple Cork 1440.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1103152398\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2019579439\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-807778740\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-250731810\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p><strong>Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2019<br \/>2nd @ Toyota U.S. Grand Prix, FIS World Cup, Mammoth Mountain, USA<br \/>3rd @ FIS World Championships, Park City, USA<\/p>\n<p>2018<br \/>5th @ Olympic Games, PyeongChang, KOR<\/p>\n<p>2017<br \/>3rd @ Winter Games NZ, FIS World Cup, half-pipe, Cardrona, NZ<br \/>3rd @ FIS World Championships, half-pipe, Sierra Nevada, ESP<br \/>Swiss Champion 2017 | Half-Pipe<\/p>\n<p>2016<br \/>1st @ TOYOTA U.S. Grand Prix, FIS World Cup, half-pipe, Copper, USA<br \/>2nd @ Revolution Tour, half-pipe, Copper, USA<br \/>2nd @ LAAX OPEN, half-pipe, Laax, CH<\/p>\n<p>2015<br \/>Swiss Champion 2015 | Half-Pipe<br \/>4th @ Russian Grand Prix<\/p>\n<p>2012<br \/>3rd @ World Cup Big-Air, Antwerp, BEL<br \/>3rd @ freestyle.ch , Zurich, CH<br \/>Swiss Champion 2012 | Big-Air<br \/>5th @ Air&amp;Style Innsbruck, AUT<\/p>\n<p>2011<br \/>1st @ Budapest Fridge, HUN<br \/>1st man on earth to land the Switch Backside Triple Cork 1440<br \/>Swiss Champion 2011 | Free-Style (1st in Big-Air + 2nd in Half-Pipe)<br \/>2nd @ Air &amp;
