huge back of tricks
definiatly got style.
One of the sickest doubles out there (Watch some other edits from olofsson on his vimeo page!)



BUT:


Another T-Wall/Henrik/Brogan/you name it copy. I mean he is definiatly sick, but in my opinion Level 1 needed something different. This is certainly no hate against Niklas Ericsson, because I really really respect his skills and his style, I just feel like Level 1 has already enough of it.



Niklas would have made it anyways. I am also sure some of the other submissions will make it in the near future.


Oh and one last sentence: Please drop the G Suit and the Magic Suit. It just looks awful, especially combined.

Well, not everyone are able to afford the gear they want.. He got the G-suit of henrik, and borrowed the magic suit from a friend.. not that easy to find any other clothes in the same fit.

Real nice pick. When I saw his switch dub in that Golden Big Air vid my jaw dropped. Definitely someone that not too many people were talking about in the Superunknown threads. I definitely didn't see it coming; his edit is really dope though. So many sick skiers in Superunknown this year. Gotta be tough for Berman and co to choose.

His video was one of the Superunknown edits that i had not watched, but he fucking kills it and will be be great with level 1... I guess we have to start making up ridiculous nicknames for him now?

Don't get me wrong, nikolas has the sickest double flip ive ever seen in my life, he will do well at park shoots, but i just feel like bergeron, tim, holson, lutsko(sp) all deserved it too and all really killed it just as hard. I dunno, i guess there can be only one winner, i just have a different view of who should have won than berman and when it comes down to it, bermans opinion is the only one that matters.

I definitely do agree with you.. And his dub is honestly the smoothest I've seen. Its funny cause bergeron, tim and niklas all have almost identical styles as casabon, tom and henrik..

I think what it came down to was the 'unknowness' of the rider.. thus eliminating the well known north american riders.. aka tim and bergeron.
