Torstein Horgmo is a genius when it comes to jumping. This kid is from Norway but spends his winters traveling around following the contest circuit, and when hes not competing hes catching last minute flights to chase the pow with the Standard Films crew. Torstein won the 2008 X Games Big Air this year with a switch backside 900 with a late cork. He is a down to earth kid that is bilingual. Check this photo above to see that this kid is not just jumping…Photo by Lonnie Kauk.
Torstein is riding for DC Snowboards and Oakley Goggles. Check out the following videos of this prodigy shredder.

The Adventures of Danny and The Dingoepisode 4: Mountain Creek
Episode Number four coming straight from the old Grenade stomping grounds of Mountain Creek, New Jersey. A lot of the crew got their start on this mountain not mention where I’m sure a lot of brainstorming went down during chair lift rides which spawned the beginnings of Grenade. The crew gets to shred a little before the contest and it all goes down during a night rail jam and next day slope style.
Danny’s ex arrives for the Mountain Creek stop of the tour, where the crew does some snowboarding before judging the contest.
The Adventures of Danny and The Dingoepisode 3: Valentine’s Day
This episode Gooner joins the wild ride, Dingo gets his nest of hair handled and a valentines date in the city while the rest of the crew has a dude party back at Danny’s parents house. Not much else to say but just hit play.
The gang heads to NJ for Danny’s hometown stop and sessions some local wood rails, and Dingo returns to NY for a Valentine’s date.
Some of the FRENDS crew came through Portland Thursday night for the new Burton movie “It’s always snowing somewhere.” I skipped the movie but meet up with everybody at the bar post premiere. Jack Mitrani, Keegan Valaika, Kevin Pierce, and Danny Davis where all hanging being bombarded by fans putting down autographs and drinks with lightning speed. A great night with the FRENDS crew from what I or anyone else remembers…. Make sure to check out thisisfrends.com to see what else these guys have been up to.
The Adventures of Danny and The Dingoepisode 2: NEW YORK! NEW YORK!
New York! New York! The crew heads to New York for the 2007 NYC Union Square Street Sessions where they meet up with Gooner and Dingo hosts the event. After a wild night on the town the guys get a 7:30 wake up call leaving New York in the dust for Loon Mountain during stop two of the Grenade Strikes back tour.
Probably the best thing you can take way from this episode is next time your at the bar and any of these Grenerds spit beer in your face don’t get mad. Just remember it’s the Grenade way of saying hello.
Danny and Dingo head to New York for a rail jam and meet up with Lucas Magoon, and Dingo claims he’s found true love.
The Adventures of Danny and The Dingoepisode 1: Launching in Aspen.
There was a lot of talk and rumors floating around about Danny Kass and the Dingo making a reality TV show. Well all the rumors have actually become a reality via fuel TV where the show made its debut a month ago currently four episodes deep. All of the shows were filmed two season ago during the Grenade Strikes Back tour so everything and everybody looks a little funny. It’s crazy how much changes in two years. Non the less the episodes are entertaining and pretty funny to watch the grenade crew do whatever the hell they want.
Meet the gang as Danny competes at the X-Games in Aspen and Dingo finds a Playboy Playmate who needs a snowboarding instructor.
I had no clue the Burton Love Series was causing so much of a stirred up. When there is any type of controversy you know CNN will get to the bottom of it. What better way to do that then ask a few new mothers and a old guy what they thought. I on the other hand would love nothing more than to see these gorgeous playmates smiling at me every time I take a turn, ollie a cliff or grab some rail. Who better to share a best day ever than with one of these fine babes… nothing like a celebratory slap on the ass after that sick double line. If you ever were into sleeping with your board as a kid thanks to Burton there is no better time than now to start that habit back up. I can say with out a doubt these are four of the best graphics ever. What is not to LOVE??
Mammoth Mountain changes their brand identity for the 2008-2009 Snowboard Season. The old identity is long gone and Mammoth is moving forward with their season… Mammoth is one of the sickest places to shred during the winter. If you are a snowboarder in So Cal make sure to cruise up to Mammoth on the new jet service or drive up Route 395. The Sierra Nevada Mountains offer an amazing view for your trip up to Mammoth.
Alaska…wow… We are enjoying these webisodes all most more than the actual movie! In the second installment of five the crew wanted to capture Alaska’s endless terrain from a new perspective trying to convey to the us the viewer how its really like to ride a 2,000 foot vertical spine. Bringing together Travis, Mark Landvik, Nico Mueller and Jeremy Jones to ride and see what happens. I can’t think of a better mix of riders to watch ride AK together… Well I guess I could think of a few more but maybe that will have to be for the sequal. Check out a couple of huge slides, never before built jumps, gnarly lines and Lando’s fox hat. Stay tuned for the webisode three coming from EXPN soon….
“He (Travis) has the right mix of respect for the mountains and balls to deal with exposure. Look for him to carry the torch of legit Big Mountain riding.” - Jeremy Jones
# 2 Travis Rice and crew prove that there’s more to do with a helicopter in Alaska than aerial wolf hunting.
