@MixyWhen did you meet Hackel and what’s your favorite thing about him?

I first met Hackel in the spring at Mt.Hood in 2014.

It was a big moment for me!

I could see a burning fire of inspiration in his eyes!

Love him and I’m super stoked he now lives with us in Sweden!

@GrandThingsWho are your favorite skaters?

@leovallsconnected

@oski

@sindreplassenWill gangsta Magnus make a return?

And who was your biggest inspirations growing up?

I do some random jobs in the summer that I get through my parents and their friends.

I do make most of my money skiing though.

@420ganjamanWhats your favorite movie youve made with The Bunch?

@Arthur74170What’s your opinion on Candide?

@SkiHillShiterWhat happened to the old kits?

Makes me so happy!

@mottAre you planning on transitioning from mainly park skiing towards backcountry?

One of the hardest clips ever imo!

I was on a serious flow path, stacking heaters at a rate I had never experienced.

My confidence was boosted.

I got the rail in like 6 tries.

I bruised both my shoulders and didn’t even realize.

I came up on one of my all-time heaters.

Good day!!!!

@Obama_careWhat makes you enjoy swerving so much?

Do you ever venture to make a trick look simple and clean?

I love simple and clean but that style has gotten over consumed.

I like to see people let their inner freak loose!!

Any normal person after including myself would not have had the energy/desire/confidence in that moment.

Where does that mentality/energy of always being ready to snap at any given moment come from?

How can we learn the ways?

First off, you have the same passion to get clipped up!!

As soon as you start skiing you get gassed up and then it’s on.
