The craziest part is that he's also about to try triples in a week or so.

He's a world class athlete for freestyle AND racing. Crazy shit

i love how he plans to celebrate the win with a kicker session at treble cone haha

reminds me of my buddies who would literally go session park between their race runs and then strip down to their speed suits with seconds to spare

it would be cool to see him compete in 2014 in a discipline that isn't freeskiing

i think he's referring to jon talking about wanting to do one after sammy stomped his... and was talking about building a jump in the summer to do it

he's currently working with treble cone to build a kicker there so i guess he is just putting two and two together

That's crazy, the other swedes over there are some amazing skier. Huge respect for him slaying it in both disciplines. Can't believe he's so fast with his technique so inside good role model it's working for him.
