Daniel Loosli is the spiritual leader behind the Cartel Boyz orgasmic mini movies. We love their style, so on the occasion of the online premiere of their latest 12 minutes of heaven, we reached out to Mr. Monosli to get the scoop on Living La Vida Loca.

Hey Daniel, congrats on another amazing Cartel Boyz adventure! Tell us a bit about your latest project.
Thank you, we are also very happy with it. It was a hard winter for us with less snow around our favorite resorts than usual. But we found some good spots and had a little more time to film than last year. Also it was pretty cool to have some stuff from the NBC guys. We had a awesome season with less injuries (except for Mr. Backflip’s ACL). We were also pretty stoked about our first premiere, which went down in the 3sixty-Shop. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!

It seems like you’ve found a good balance between keeping it fun and sending it. Is the mood really always that light, even when you’re at a sketchy spot?
Nah not every time! We could have killed us sometimes or everyone had a different idea of the spot. But at the end we are all happy and can sleep well.

It looked like you and Dario went head to head on a couple of pretty heavy rails. Who had the best trick?
Ouw thats hard, I’m pretty happy about my last one with the police and the ledge to rail in laax. But I’m so into Dario’s style. I think Dario’s front 180 on is my favorite!

And who had the best bail?
For sure Deniz Cinek, it’s the Ender-Bail.

Oh yeah, the penguin slide down the wall was all-time. So how does it feel to ride the same kicker as Nicolas Müller?
At the moment we rode the kicker no one knew that this spot was already done by Nicolas. We were thankful that everyone took it so chill and that we could hit that awesome jump!  We had some great airtime there, for sure.

Where are all of the monoski shots?
I had a hard winter working 110%, learned to monoski and went shooting as much as possible. So I only could focus on doing some photos with my mono. Often we were only 2 people, so there’s only one person who can film or make some photos. But who knows what will happen this winter.

What’s the story behind the shots with the cop? Does the Cartel have police on the payroll?
Dude we don’t have to pay them. They pay us!
Nahhh, the real stroy is that they came to our spot and wanted to know what we were doing there. After we explained that we were hitting the rail and dropping down something like 5-6meters they totally didn’t believe us. Because they were curious about it, they let me do one last try. I was pretty stoked about that, because I wanted to make one more since my first shot wasn’t that pretty. In the end it ended so well for us all.

Where was Ricky Martin this year? I heard he was too busy hitting on your girl to get shots.
Yeah its pretty hard to work with Ricky and have a Chilean girlfriend. I still can’t trust those two…
They’re always together and speak this fucking South-American language. you know fuego, querido, beso blabla.
But I heard some rumors that he’s now into Shakira…

Speaking of slacking, I counted the ski shots and you clearly had the most, followed by that little “motha fucka” kid, and then the toad had a pretty strong presence… and the other skiers were somewhere way behind. Do you think that Vincent and the rest of your crew will be able to step up their game this season?
Yeah dude so stoked about the toad. he banged some really hot toad-hoes for our movie. Yeah its not easy to find skiers these days who have time and are motivated enough for this stuff. Vincent is in the Challenger-Team of Swissski so he has to do competitions and attend trainings.

Are you planning to invite some new members into the cartel this season or are the doors shut on admissions?
We take it how it comes, but for sure Ricky always makes the call if someone has what it takes to ride with us.

Is it true that the shisha is actually filled with crack cocaine?
No that’s a lie, we don’t smoke crack or cocaine. The fluid is the Cherry Vodka and we smoke crystal. It makes you more aggressive. That’s pretty important for us, you have to be aggressive for our movie.

What’s the plan for this season?
Bigger and better. Smoke more shisha, drink more vodka, destroy more clubs.

We actually got some decent snow in November for once. Have you guys already started shooting for next year’s movie?
Nah, we chill. Vincent, Lou and myself are injured. But more time to train our shisha-skills.

Last question before we wrap this up. Now that you’ve put it to the test, is it true that blonds actually do have more fun?
Yes for sure! So many chicks want to touch those golden hairs.

Any last words?
Support the Cartel!
