TAC UPDATE!

Check out the TAC 2010 course. Illustrations by Roger Stemsrudhagen

Our shaper Claes Högström has made a spectacular slopestyle course for The Oakley Arctic Challenge 2010 together with Torstein Horgmo and Andreas Wiig.

The challenging course consists of a rail/stairs element, then a rail/butterbox element, a table top, a regular big jump and a hip at the bottom.


The course starts with the rails. Torstein and Andreas have been involved in the customization of the set up, and Andreas is pleased with the result. – The rail elements are pretty big and demands some guts from the riders, he explains.

- We have focused on making the slope diverse and to get a flow in the riding, says Claes Högström.
The slope has been adjusted to the terrain in Wyllerløypa which has been quite challenging, the terrain is pretty steep at some places and gives the riders quite a lot of speed.


The rails are followed by two jumps and finally the hip jump. The first jump is a table top, while the second is a more traditional big jump and the third obstacle is a large hip.


The riders will acquire quite a lot of speed before the last element- the hip in the end of the slope.

- It`s all about going high and with style at the hip, says Andreas, who is looking forward to test the slope when it`s ready.

Established in 1999, The Oakley Arctic Challenge was created as an independent alternative to more established snowboarding events. The Oakley Arctic Challenge is owned by Terje Haakonsen. Having developed and invested in The Oakley Arctic Challenge, Terje fulfils the childhood dream of all snowboarders and paves the way for the upcoming talents and progression of the sport. The event protects some key values; independence, creativity, progression, borderless, playfulness, social and environmental responsibilities.

Las Lenas

I just got back home to Oslo from Las Lenas, Argentina. I did some photo shooting and product testing for DC over there with the team. Here´s a couple photos from the trip. They are lying though, the snow you see was actually windblown and rock hard. It was a fun trip but the fact that it started dumping hard on our last night kinda sucked... Now I´m gonna test my couch for a couple weeks and see how hard its possible to chill in it. might go for a skate;)
