What is motivating you? Do you thrive on competition? What is your plan for the season?

My motivation is probably to just have fun and ride. I also like contests, at least when I have fun at them.  My plan for this season is just to do some contests, learn new tricks, and just have fun with friends.  Hopefully no more injuries!

I watched your video part in ‘It’s Always Snowing Somewhere’.  You were going huge, launching some sick tricks.  I also heard you injured yourself filming this, breaking one ankle, underwent rehab, and then after five runs in NZ you broke your other ankle.   It must be frustrating. How have you dealt with these injuries?

Yeah it was pretty frustrating, but I kept training, went to the gym everyday and now I am in better shape than ever.  Well maybe not at the moment since I just had surgery on my thumb four days ago,hehe.   It’s pretty unlucky, but I can ride so no worries.

Has being out of action motivated you do well this season?

Yeah it has, and it gave me motivation to train more and make sure that I won’t get more injuries like that. So hopefully I will have a great season

There are a lot of awesome Norwegian Riders on the TTR.  How do you plan to stand out from the crowd and get up there alongside Horgmo, Wiig and Bang?

I don’t know. They are some really good riders, and luckily I get to ride with them a lot and learn stuff.   I will also go my own way and do my tricks with my own style and hopefully the world loves it. I´ll become a great snowboarder like them.  I also ride pipe which they don´t really do.

You have been gradually been making a name for yourself on the TTR Tour.  How has TTR helped you make yourself well known in the snowboard scene ?

The TTR is a pretty good thing which helps me with getting a bigger name in the snowboarding industry.

I also read you grew up riding with older guys who pushed you hard at your winter home in Trysil and NTG (snowboard school) at Geilo in Norway.  Who pushes you to step up now? 

My friends and those I ride with pushes me and make me want to learn new stuff.
