Favorite Vans Product?
Hi-standard boots,
Freeriding/FIS/TTR what´s your take?:
Absolutely love freeriding when the oppurtinity is there, I’ve riden some awesome powder but don’t know enough about snow and avalanches to take it into the terrain i’de like to ride. Working on that. I figured I can ride powder until I’m 80 years old. Riding park will be a little harder by then....
TTR made slopestyle snowboarding in my opinion. TTR gave a lot of riders including me, the oppurtunity to take snowboarding a step further then just a hobby. The TTR events are always fun, good courses, good judging, and awesome party’s
I don’t really have an opinion on FIS since I’ve only done one event with them which was the world champs in Molina last year. I’m curious how they will handle the slopestyle olympics in Sochi 2014 and how the cooperation with TTR will go.
Who influences you in your riding?:
Basicly anybody I see riding. If I like someone’s trick or somebody’s style I’ll try to make it my own...
Who´s got the best method in the game?
oldschool method: Jamie Lynn
newschool method: Mark Landvik
How does a perfect day on the hill look like for you?
