Replying to Thoughts on Niklas Eriksson
I was wondering how stoked people are on level 1's new superunknown winner, Iv felt like ever since TWALL took superunkown there has been a huge pressure over the last two years for truly progressive riding from (as the title suggests) unkown skiers. I may be alone on this one, but it doesn't seem to me that Brogan has recieved VIRTUALLY any coverage near the same level as Tom did since coming out as last years Superunkown, especially barely being in Turbo/ not a ton of news of him filming for the new Level1 movie from what iv herd and read on the website(regardless the kid SLAYS, and in defense iv herd rumors of finishing highschool and all that probly limited his traveling). Also iv herd contriversy about Nikala' apparent Salomon sponsorship, I'm assuming he's on some sort of flow relationship with them or somthing of the sort, because to my knowledge every superunkown winner hasn't had ANY super credible sponsors at the time, thus them being superunkown. However, Niklas slays and this quote from the latest Level 1 update really makes a statement "Niklas Eriksson proved his Superunknown Heavyweight Title by dropping switch double flat 10's, double cork 12s, and other hammers all evening on the backside perfect jump." For a first year superunkown it sounds like this kid has his head on his shoulder, and absolutly focused on killing it. No matter what the new Level 1 movie is going to be insane.
