This dude is sick. The icon of how slopestyle is done a few years back, but these days aside form the atomic airtime edit, Havn't seen him in any competitions.. not even Winter x-games.. Is he done? (Hope not)

Ooh also, can anyone think of someone better than him at rails?

I don't give a fuck whether he's ever gonna compete again, I just want TGP 5

HEAR ME ANDREAS, HEAR ME

We got a teaser photo about a month ago, so I'm fairly certain it's happening. In the mean time, here's the first few, if you haven't seen them yet go to 4 and watch back

He was 3rd in X-Games and 4th in the olympics, how can one who follows comps ''miss'' him?

Because he was a legend, and sure he never won but he always came fourth. Like, every single x games. Everyone loved him though.

He also had awesome parts with PBP:

He'll probably come back and compete when he turns 35 or something. The man is forever young

He said that if Oslo (Norway) gets the 2022 olympics, he would make sure the slopestyle course would be the best ever.

Exiting the comp scene gracefully and on a high. My favourite comp skier for about the past 7 years, due equally to his skiing and attitude.

I salute you Andreas.

too bad he didn't podium at the olympics, woulda been a great way to go out. he had such an awesome clean run but I guess his tricks didn't hold up to what else was being thrown.
