Biography of a professional snowboarder - documentary making.

Aside from that, I think what’s an interesting part of working with him is his desire to move beyond the spins and rotations.

We did ‘One Jump’ and originally we were going to have multiple features up in Folgefonna and it ended up not working out and we only had that one jump, so the idea was to just film on that and see what we could get.

As we were filming I would tell him to try just making up tricks that no one had ever seen him or anyone do before, like the switch method to bring back or the super late 1.

No one does a big backside 180 on a jump like that one because you’re always spinning so fast.

What the final project turned into actually developed on hill.

I walked over to him and was like let’s just do a whole video from the double 10 you did first try, down to a method and go reverse because no one had ever done that and he immediately was like, ‘I’m down!’

If you watch that video he goes from 7s down to 5s to 3s to the 180 to the switch method to the huge method to close it out.

It was pretty cool to see someone want to do that, because I feel like all the riders around him want to go double or triple cork, or even quad.
