English term or phrase: backcountry
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.
We always talk in the office about how he’s kind of an anomaly and it’s infectious to watch because you want to see what’s going to happen next.
In this day in age of so many good snowboarders and so many kids who can do those quad corks and crazy acrobatics or just a lot of good rails, its very unique to see any rider that can do backcountry and rail parts and jumps and compete, and he’s like a Norwegian pipe champ – the guy can just do it all.
