Len Roald Jorgensen and Fredrik Perry are two Norwegian badasses who frickin’ rip. Kasper Häggström is a ninja when it comes to operating a camera and editing software and cut this rad edit to welcome them to the Nordic burn team.

Meet Len & Perry. Two crazy Norwegians who love to shred and party. The burn Nordic Team is currently on their first team gathering in Trysil and this is the first video of more to come, all from the hands of hyped video wizzkid Kasper Häggström. Enjoy.

Not only were we blown away by the setup knocked together for the burn Rail Jam in Istanbul, we were also floored by how many people showed up to watch the likes of Eiki Helgason, Gulli Gudmundsson and Ludde Lejkner get wild. Sick riding too.

Get the reactions of those fortunate enough to have been to the premiere of We Ride – The Story of Snowboarding. With the likes of Kevin Pearce, Mike Basich and Bryan Iguchi singing its praises, you’d do well to remember to come back to the Onboard site at 19.00 CET this Sunday – Feb 24 2013 – where you’ll be able to watch the movie in an exclusive online premiere.

We Ride sets out to tell, as it claims, the ‘story of snowboarding’. They’ve gone to town and interviewed many of the great and good who played a part in snowboarding’s evolution, combined it with archive and more current footage and will be premiering it right here on Sunday 24 Feb 2013 at 19.00 CET. Check the teaser here.

It looks like it’s gonna be a proper chin-stroker of a film, with chat from the likes of pioneers Sherman Poppen, Chuck Barfoot and Jake Burton to legends like Terje, Todd Richards, JP Walker and Gian Simmen, all the way up to current bosses like Gigi Rüf and Ståle Sandbech, amongst many others.

here’s their 101…

For their 20th anniversary, the Air & Style Innsbruck has turned into a two day event full of action, legends, and even more parties. This Friday, the event kicked off with the riders draw, a short jam session of tomorrow’s contestants, and most of all the burn Style Session – featuring most legends competing over the illustrous history of the contest series.

After a night of style and nostalgia it was Marko Grilc who took home 10,000 Euros prize money for the most stylish trick of the night: an über-styled cab rodeo. However, little did this victory matter to the many fans, who had been cheering for legends like Terje Haakonsen, Bryan Iguchi, Michi Albin, or local heros like Stefan Gimpl or Thomas ‘Beckna’ Eberharter.

Other noteworthy tricks and style masters included Sani Alibabic’s back 5s and 7s, Werni Stock’s switch backside 5 (including a good poke and shifty), Arthur Longo’s back 7 melon, and Elias Elhardt’s back 5. In short: You should have been there! Especially since in between jamming and sessioning, Austrian fleeting music star Leftboy, and German grandfathers of hip-hop Die Fantastischen Vier were rocking the surprisingly packed venue.

We cannot wait to see tomorrow’s action by the current elite of big air snowboarding. It will be interesting to see how (and if) the style and slow spins of the old guys rubbed off onto current slopestyle wizards like Mark McMorris, Stale Sandbech, Antoine Truchon or Seppe Smits…

Tomorrow’s Knock-Out Round:

Yuki Kadono vs. Petja Piiroinen
Clemens Schattschneider vs. Maxence Parrot
Sebastien Toutant vs. Jørn Simen Aabøe
Eric Willet vs. Ethan Morgan
Niklas Mattson vs. Eric Beauchemin
Seppe Smits vs. Sage Kotsenburg
Ståle Sandbech vs. Ulrik Badertscher
Mark McMorris vs. Victor De Le Rue
Antoine Truchon vs. Matthias Weißenbacher
Roope Tonteri vs. Emil Ulstetten
Gjermund Bråten vs. Sven Thorgren
Peetu Piiroinen vs. Aleksander Østreng

Swedish snowboard film crew Random Bastards were so productive last season, they released TWO full movies! The first – Blue Balls – is already viewable in all its glory on our website. The second is their brand-new, gobsmacking, Burn Energy backed movie Low Key, and this is what they have to say about it themselves:

After the world wide success with BLUE BALLS, we’re proud to present our second film for the season! LOW KEY features our favorite riders and lots of exclusive 2012 footage. The full film LOW KEY will – thanks to our presenter Burn and other associates, is now available for free stream and download – our x-mas gift to you!

burn is proud to introduce an all new competition to the snowboarding calendar that is all about superior style and creativity – The burn Style Session. Celebrating 20 years of stylish big airs at Air & Style, the contest is the perfect way to kick off the commemorative edition of the world’s most influential and iconic snowboard comp and will go down on February 1 2013 in Innsbruck’s Bergisel Stadium.

The burn Style Session will invite snowboarding’s greatest legends, including Gigi Rüf, David Benedek and Terje Haakonsen, to once again compete at the infamous Bergisel Stadium on Friday 1 February to battle it out for the ultimate champion of style. Rather than honouring rotations and corks, the burn Style Session takes snowboarding back to its roots, focusing on creative riding and individual flair. Expect super tweaked methods and stylish floaty 180s to be the order of the day.

“I think it’s great that burn is bringing back these old school style riders to the Bergisel Stadium. I don’t think anyone ever thought they’d see these guys compete again, especially not in Big Air. I really look forward to being part of this event – it’s like a piece of history,” says burn team rider Arthur Longo.

Invited riders: Terje Haakonsen, Gigi Rüf, Arthur Longo, David Benedek, Devun Walsh and many more

The 20th edition of Air & Style is shaping up to be the most highly anticipated event of the season. On Saturday 2 February the crowds will gather to watch the best of the international snowboarding scene compete for a share of the €75,000 prize pot. This year the rider line up has been extended from 16 to 24 to accommodate even more world-class talent.

Returning as sponsor for the third year, burn is proud to support Air & Style as it celebrates its 20th anniversary. As well as the burn Style Session, burn activity will include the global premiere of landmark snowboarding documentary film We Ride and an exhibition at the stadium charting the fascinating history of snowboarding.

The burn dudes are back at it with another conceptual piece of shredit. Following on from last year’s Human/Machines they continue exploring snowboarding’s opposites by taking a look at backcountry and contest riding.

Picking up from where burn’s Human/Machines ends, POWDER & GLORY explores the two opposite poles of snowboarding—backcountry and contests—and is seen through the eyes of six burn riders at the height of their careers.

Riders: Gigi Rüf, Mathieu Crepel, Arthur Longo, Stale Sandbech, Werni Stock and Ulrik Badertscher.

Filmed and directed by Mike Hatchett and Travis Robb along with Brad Holmes, Logan Knutzen and Jeff Wright for Standard Films.

Check out the burn boys throwing blacked out hits in the Landgraaf snowdome.

burn don’t like to just knock together montages of their team throwing the hams. No, they’re more concentrated on realising a concept to promote their energy-laced fizzy pop – we’ve had ‘Alive‘ (where their poor riders were set on fire), ‘Human/Machines‘, and now ‘Black Snow’. For this, they flew in burn boys Gigi Rüf, Ståle Sandbech, Ulrik Badertscher and Gulli Gudmundsson, drove them to Holland’s SnowWorld Landgraaf, turned out the lights, and let them get all disco.

Enjoy this second instalment of burn Unit Gigi Rüf’s 3-part video blog, where the charismatic Austrian makes a quick stop in Colorado for a sunny and slushy photoshoot, and a remarkable handlplant on a handplant with his team buddy Luke Mitrani.
