Patrick Bussler is from Ascheim, Germany and has a big challenge in the snowboard so I just want to wish him the best of luck because besides this being a chalenging sport he should know that all athletes that get that far to represent their country, always want to do their best. To me, this is of the best way to show how much you can show your love and respect for your country. Especially if you are in the German Army.
