“I got a chance to spend a few epic days with Iceland’s Halldor Helgason this past winter. His Nordic country’s similarities with Tahoe are probably few and far between, but he still seemed at home as a backcountry rookie. Halldor’s rail skills might make him a household name among snowboarders this year, however, his amazing style and fearlessness in the backcountry is what I am most excited to watch in the coming years.” – Nate Christensen

Travis rice's spin looked like the hardest one to me - was that frontside off the toes? Whatever it was, it was off the hook!
I'm gonna have to guess and say Travis Rice just becasue I think he can really pull this one off.
what the fuck? denco and word? being corked doesn'treally mean you have to go inverted, just off axis. to me, it looks much cooler the way tyler and sage do them compared to a double backflip 180..
