Cause he doesn't need to risk getting hurt to be famous and get paid. Plus his knee is really bad

Pretty sure he also wanted to get back to focusing on dropping edits, hence why Good Company was started

Comps are for suckers. Announcing is where the real money is at.

Same reason I quit doing comps. Not being paid enough for the time/effort it takes to get paid for it.

Just simply getting old man. Park skiers usually don't compete much past 28ish.

He wanted to quit comp skiing to film movies. He started up good company to make movies with other talented skiers. Tbh good company don't really tickle my pickle. Skiers are great and the tricls are insane. But something aboug the editing and the music.

He blew his knee trying to qualify for the Olympics and probably decided it wasn't worth it after that.

Is it really? Like beyond his ACL injury in 2014?

I have noticed that he doesn't ride as hard as he used to. Don't get me wrong, his park shots are massive and mind blowing... but when it comes to just skiing in the park, he definetly does not push it like he used to.

Because honestly, he is bigger than most comps. Kind of like Candide, why would he risk his body and waste his time on the comp circuit when he could be filming commercials, working on major projects with first class production, crushing fun/crazy stuff your sponsors build for you - having fun and getting seriously paid while leaving a true mark on the sport, as opposed to training a comp run and dealing with all the bullshit that comes with that?

Henrik will be at this point in a little bit.
