Sep 6, 2008 - That is a sick part! Big mountains speed and tricks in harmony...Heard from one of his friends that he´s back from injury and rides again in Whistler... Hope they film him!

Sep 6, 2008 - maybe the only time i'll ever give props to a snowboarder... but i love this movie, and this part in particular. thanks!

cebizz Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - I hope he comes back and shows all these 'big mnt' guys (i.e. Jeremy Jones) how to ride all mountain with style.Rips.

Sep 6, 2008 - sorry Cebizz, he got beaten by chicks when her rode head to head with the big mountain riders in an event. the girls were 7 points in front....ouch!

Sep 6, 2008 - nobody has surpassed JO's performance till this day. not JJ and his jerky style or any of the new school big mtn. riders. JO jibbed the mountain like it was a skate park. he also made wannabee new school skiers take notice and think, fuck, snowboarders are school'n us in the back-country too. we'd better step up. and they wonder why your typical pro snowboarder makes multiple times what the a average pro skier makes...

Sep 6, 2008 - f***, I'd forgotten how incredibly good he was... killer part

KoksKlabauter Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - In the end it says "3000 feet in 35 sec"3000 feet = 914 meters914 m per 35 seconds = 26 m/sec This means an incredible speed of 93.6 km/h (~58 mph)!!!!!Amazing...

crazybanana1 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - 914 meters / sin 50 = 1193,14 meters in 35 seconds = 34m/secThis means an incredible average speed of 122.7 km/h

Sep 6, 2008 - Best part ever!!

vieuxsage Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - I don't understand the hate towards JJ. I'm not putting down JO, far from it, but I feel that JJ is more technical, while Johan is more about speed. Two different styles that are enjoyable to watch, and both way beyond my skills.It's like comparing what Tex and Burt were doing years ago. Both had their niche (speed vs technical) and both pushed the boundaries of what was possible on a stick, just like Johan and Jeremy.The day I see you in video part, I'll bow to your opinion...

espltd30 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - I m not going to argue whether JO is the better big mountain rider or JJ, but one thing is for sure this is and most likely will always be the sickest segment of any snowboard movie made. This is when snowboarding was great, and it was just about the rider and the mountain, now things are all about technical and park.... I miss the good ole days.

Sep 6, 2008 - pretty old school... a lot more HC than todays scene. that wet cat at 0:33 is downright sketchy though. what year is this?

espltd30 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - 1996 I belive, off of TB5

Nils366 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - I think it was winter 1995/96...

Nils366 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - Until Olofsson arrived on the snowboarding scene, spin tricks, jibs, etc. were kept to man-made obstacles such as halfpipes and kickers. Olofsson started doing these tricks off natural features - windlips, cliffs, etc. - in the middle of terrifyingly steep lines in the Alaskan ranges.

Nils366 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - In the Standard Films movie TB5 (Johans first part in a major snowboard release), he was filmed in Alaska attacking a line with such ferocity that he stunned the snowboarding world and instantly gained legendary status.
