To say that Hoppipolla headwear has a good team is doing a disservice to the word ‘understatement’. With a team that reads like a who’s who of contemporary Scandic talent, this March team edit is predictably bolts. Check it…

Riders: Eiki Helgason, Halldor Helgason, Stale Sandbech, Kalle Ohlson, Alek Oestreng, Erik Botner, Torgeir Berre, Gulli Gudmundsson, Toni Kerkela and Lonnie Kauk.

On it’s own this is a solid part, but the fact that it’s Kalle Ohlson’s B-Roll shots that didn’t make the cut for the Pirates’ UNIQUE8 means it’s all the more impressive. We mean, imagine what his A-grade bangers are like! It’s easy to find out actually – just snag yourself a copy of UNIQUE8 and you’ll know. We’ve seen it – it’s the tits.

This time the guys made a stop in Sälen/Malung. A place most famous for it’s snowboard/freeski school. This is where Ingemar Backman got “schooled” (kind of, he quit school pretty early….), as well as almost all Swedish riders that you know about. They’ve got a nice little fake wave and a new mini rail garden there now. Place is amazing!

Riders:
Viktor Wiberg
Ludwig Lejkner
Kalle Ohlson
Kire Karlsson
Philip Grund
Zebastian Landmark
Blue Park Kid: Evelina Kristoffersson

Next stop up is Stockholm. The place we all wish will get TONS of snow this winter. Urban snow Capital together with Helsinki.

Yes, this is how close you get to riding with the pros.

In this Tech Talk video from the Pirates our senior photographer Matt Georges talks about various aspects of his snowboard photography. Apart from his French accent he is one of the most accomplished photogs out there. Check this video!

If you’re into watching credits in magazines, you’ve heard this name a few times already > Matt Georges from France has been all over the place but started to shoot with the Pirates in 2006 already where he scored the “Lubedence” cover with Eirik Haugos magic fs3.
He came back on the boat last season joining the crew in Helsinki. Kalle Ohlson and Teo Konttinen were lucky to be in front of Matt’s cameras and the sharpest tools of them all..for more magic visit his website!

One of our all-time favourites from Sweden – Kalle Ohlson – just hit us up with a new project of his. It sounds like an amazing thing. Here’s what he sent us, and to answer his question: Of course we’ll help you out, buddy!

Hey Onboard!

In my interview I’m talking about this project to start making something happen her in sweden. Anyways, we started doing some small stuff now. It’s called Blue Parks (it’s angled mostly for kids, and Blue is an easy obstacle so it fits perfect )

We went around with a bunch of riders to shred outside different ice rinks here in Sweden. We did 4 edits/stops. Would be banger if you guys can help me out and put this up!?

Follow Kalle Ohlson and Ludde Lejkner through their warm up session back in spring at a trash yard in Umeå, Sweden. These shots didn’t make the cut for Unique8, but are for sure worth a check out!
