12 films in 12 months. 
A year in search of shred. 
Different spots, different crews, different styles. 
We don’t know exactly what’s going to happen, or where we’ll go. 
But if it sounds fun, and it feels good, we’re in.

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.

Our man on the ground from the Mpora mothership was cruising the X Games event site yesterday, hitting up a mix of riders and punters to see who the bookie’s favourite is to take out the superpipe title. Check who their money’s on…

As you’ll see, opinions are divided and… what the hell – we’ll throw our hat in the ring too. For men’s superpipe we’ll weigh in with Iouri Podladtchikov to win, with Louie Vito and Scotty Lago rounding out the podium. And seeing as there’s also women’s pipe – today in fact – we’ll call that too: Kelly Clark will be after revenge on Euro soil after coming up short at the BEO, so she’ll have what it takes to just edge out Arielle Gold, with Gretchen Bleiler taking third.

Who do you think will win? Let us know on Twitter, making sure you use #xgamesnow and you’ll also be entered to win an Onboard subscription and a whole heap of shred gear too.

In February, the Rome Snowboards crew went to Zillertal/Austria for a bit time-of-my-life-feeling. All of this went into their 12 Months film project. Among the many riders featured the only ones we remember are: Len Roald Jorgensen, Thomas Delfino, Bjorn Leines and Jordan Phillips.

And since you might be interested in the January episode, HERE IT IS!

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.

Remember the RK1 boys’ banging Colorado edit that dropped over the holidays? You know, the one that’s probably the best park lapping edit you’ve seen in a long while? The one with Len Jorgensen’s awesome handspring knuckle thing? Yeah, that one. Here’s an edit made of B-shots from the sessions there. It’s still decent.

1. Len Roald Jorgensen in Norwegian Rippers Slay Colorado 

Arguably in the best park clip of the young year, Norwegian rookie Len Roald Jorgensen kicks things off with an amazing knuckle trick that is worth being put on constant repeat.

2. Rusty Ockenden in Pretty Wise Springtime Section

Even though things can’t get any more mid-winter we don’t care and gif you this nice topless, and darned near bottomless, backflip by Rusty Ockenden from the People Film Pretty Wise Springtime Section.

3. Nicolas Müller in his full part from Absinthe’s Resonance

To honour the guy who got more people stoked on our website than anyone else we converted Nicolas Müller’s astounding double cork in the Laax backcountry.

Check out the Rome Euro crew sending it in Laax at the end of last season. It’s full of funtime shredding in the slush…

Sure, it’s autumn but spring’s still rad. Have a gander at what the likes of Flo Achenrainer, Len Roald Jørgensen, Toni Kerkelä and Felix Georgii got up to in the Swiss resort at the end of last season.

What do Erik Botner, Fredrik Evensen, Eirik Nesse, Len Roald Jørgensen, Ståle Sandbech, Viktor Wiberg, Brage Richenberg, Petter Kristiansen, and Torgeir Berre have in common? They’re all Norwegians. And they traveled to Folgefonna and had some fun in the sun and film for yet another Hypermountain edit. Beat that!
