It’s easy man, a group is never stronger than its weakest link. I wanted to get rid of the squirrels and just have the most insane sessions with my buddies.

My goal isn’t to keep it away it away from the FMB, but I don’t see it fitting in with them. If a bunch of randoms would show up, I feel that the vibe would change dramatically.

In the future I wanna see Huckfest as a comp that really makes a change to the MTB scene. I kinda feel that it has already done it, but I want more and I really feel there is more coming from this event. I’m really stoked.

Oh yes! I’m really looking forward to it, can’t wait to get there and just feel the vibe. I don’t really put that much pressure on me result wise. I am just going there to shred my bike and laugh with my friends.

I think that it’s the only way it should go. We should all be on DH bikes, they are real MTB bikes and f–k’n bad ass dude! From my point of view it’s way better for the riders and industry, there is a way higher focus on DH bikes than hardtails from the manufactures. I believe that by doing all my stuff on a DH bike I am giving back way more to my sponsors.

You have a really good list of close sponsors, are you a full time rider?

Yeah I got the best guys backing me. Sweet protection, Trek bikes, Oakley, Fox suspension and Five Ten shoes. I’m really picky about the people I work with and I always make sure to be friends before I start working with someone. I’ve been a full time rider for the last seven years. Not that many people know that, but seven years man. For me that’s way longer then I thought.

I grew up on a farm. So imagine all the SHIT work I did ha ha.

All my homies, bikes, girls, food and mountains.

As soon as Rampage is done I move to Spain and wait for the snow to come to Norway. When that happens I go home and ride some snowboards. That’s what I’m looking forward to the most right now, deep fast pow turns! No other feeling like it.
