I have my childhood sweetheart as a wife and two children. On the one hand, we spend our summer free time in the bike parks and in winter we like snowboarding. As a hobby beekeeper, I always have a fresh glass of honey on our breakfast table.

He has been successful with his own snowboard brand “Slash” since 2012 and is still just as active today as he was more than 20 years ago when he made his film debut in the USA. Gigi has managed to preserve his inner child, has always put fun in the foreground and has lost nothing of creativity to this day.

So that he will always feel at home in the mountains and climb with his Malaguti Superiore just as effortlessly as in winter on the board.
