Terje Haakonsen (NOR), Snowboard: The Legend - one of the most popular Snowboarder in the World!

In his earlier years, Terje destroyed the limitations of what was thought possible on a snowboard, going bigger, faster and stronger than everyone both in the pipe and on the mountain. Inspired by other great riders such as the late Craig Kelly, Terje learned of the immense possibilities and experiences one could achieve through snowboarding. Known as Norway`s most famous international athlete, he has an ever-growing list of wins and records ranging from 6 wins at the legendary Mount Baker Banked Slalom, 3 wins at the Burton US Open, 5 wins at the European Half Pipe Championships, to an incredible feat at the Swatch TTR Six (6) Star Oakley Arctic Challenge in 2007 where he broke the quarter pipe height record, pushing it to 9.8 meters and still making it as stylish as ever with a backside 360. Competition, however, isn`t his only strength. Terje has also bagged some first descents in the mountain wilderness of Alaska. His natural athleticism, determined attitude and perfect sense of his surroundings are only a handful of reasons as to why he is the best snowboarder in the world.
