The video I put out after receiving the news that I won @level1 SuperUnknown VI contest.

Figured I post it today since the level 1 superunknown week in Mammoth is on!

Cool story:
I won a spot to Jon Olsson Invitational (Big Air contest) on a Slopestyle contest in Åre's local park called Swedish Open. I was super pumped, unfortunately I putted down my hand in the landing in the so I didn't get a great score..

I remember a judge calling me up saying if I haven't handdragged in the landing I would have won.. That made me even more bummed..

The day after I was approached by Josh Berman and Tom Wallisch. They where there competing at the Jon Olsson Super Sessions for Team America. They said they had a big discussion the night before and they really liked what they say the night before at the JOI. Told me that mine Superunknown video that I had done earlier that year wasn't the best, but after what they seeing me live the night before there opinions had change. And I remember Berman asking; got any plans for the end of April? Wanna come over to the states? And Wallisch following up saying congrats bro! You're the winner of this years superunknown, welcome to the fam!
After that we went to Max and had some hamburgers.

Good memories!

Thanks to Imaginary Trace for the filming and editing!
