Heikki Sorsa is one of the most iconic snowboarders to have ever existed and is single handedly responsible for so many of snowboarding’s most memorable moments. From his legendary mohawk in the 2002 Olympics to setting world record airs and even filming some of our favorite video parts of all time, he is trulli (pun intended) one of the greatest to ever do it. Learn all about Heikki’s upbringing, snowboard career, and what he’s up to now on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!
