Worst trick? I think you can make everything look cool, but cab180 on to BS360 or FS360 out

Steel or Powder? Steel but I love a good pow day as well

Dream Sponsor (Doesn’t Have to Be Snowboarding-Related)? Maybe Icelandair cause it’s expensive flying out of Iceland

Warm up or straight to business: I like to do a bit of stretching before a session

When do you ride best: When I’m focused

When do you ride your worst: When I’m distracted

Interests Outside of Snowboarding: Skateboarding, golf, ping pong, drawing, and so many things

A moment that you’ll never forget: Not sure I’ve got a pretty bad memory, but probably when Halldor invited me on a filming trip to Quebec when I was 18. After that I got on the Lobster cream team

Best advice you ever received: Don’t try to be anybody you’re not. Just be yourself

Sketchiest moment (on or off the board)? One time I was filming on a knuckle and Fridge was hitting a jump and slips and landed straight on my head, got knocked out and flew off the knuckle into the landing. Then I got heli-ed down. That was pretty sketchy. But I’m alive and healthy. Thank god I had a helmet.

Best and worst place to snowboard: Iceland. It’s so beautiful but the weather is also shite

Words to Live By: Golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated

Shout Outs: Mom, Dad, Sóllilja, Halldór, Siffi, Kuske, Ethan, Lolo, Lobster crew and all my friends
