He began learning snowboarding at the age of 18 and set a new record at the age of 22
She doesn't have the fantasy story of "I loved skiing since I was a kid." Born in Austria, Gasser learned gymnastics from an early age and is a member of the Austrian national gymnastics team. Her idol is Biles, a black female player in gymnastics. By chance, she came into contact with snowboarding. In Austria at that time, snowboarding was far less developed than it is now. At the age of 18, she had only just begun to learn to ski.
At the fork in the road of life, Gasser came to the United States alone with a passion for blood and began her snowboarding career. Regardless of the loneliness of a foreign country, or the gap in "advanced age" training, she threw herself into it. Years of accumulation and dedication to gymnastics have allowed her to make rapid progress. In November 2013, Gasser became the first female snowboarder to complete the Cab Double Cork 900.
After Gasser posted the video, he woke up the next morning to find that he suddenly had two thousand more followers, countless likes, and a steady stream of admiring comments. "Just because of this one action, I went from being a complete outsider, a dark horse that no one knew, and suddenly became well known."
And this sensational action in the global veneer industry is just the beginning of her own era.
