Arguably the best movie that hit our computer screen this fall was the Helgasons’ 2012 effort Pepping. Why? Even though anticipation was high and they had some problems delivering their masterpiece on time they delivered a unique mix of off-piste antics and insane snowboard stunts by Eiki Helgason, Halldor Helgason, Gulli Gudmundsson, Ethan Morgan, Eero Ettala and many more. And best of all: The Open part was a collection of their fans’ footage.

We sometimes think Gulli Gudmundsson does not get enough props for his riding, and this mainly because Halldor Helgason has the bigger perso… we mean sponsors. However, this Icelandic rail genius can do just about anything on a ledge or a rail, and his part from the Helgasons.com movie Pepping is impressive proof of it. The only thing missing from these 3,5 minutes of fine snowboarding is a bit of sunshine. But see for yourself…

And when you’re done with it, why not compare it to Halldor’s full Pepping part? Or take a look at Eiki’s full part? Or watch the entire movie?

Here it is, bizzles. Halldor’s full part made up of the footage that was in the Helgason’s Pepping! Watch the Icelander’s badass skills…

Despite being injured for a good chunk of last last winter, Halldor still managed to come up with the goods. The insanity of  his urban riding almost beggars belief, and though there’s not as much kicker riding as you’d expect (blame the aforementioned injury) he still manages to stomp the best front 3 ever and that weird, sick as hell double barrel roll thing that stoked us out so much at Freestyle.CH. A banger, for sure.

Watch the eagerly anticipated – yet ever-so slightly delayed – follow-up to Sexual Snowboarding right here, right now. From around 16.00 CET.

You’ll have doubtless already got the dirt about this movie in our Pepping! interview with Eiki Helgason, and now you can hit play and check the stunts from Eiki, Halldor, Gulli Gudmundsson, Ethan Morgan, Eero Ettala and more. Who knows, maybe even you’re in it if you sent in footage for the Open part….

Here’s the natter from Eiki, Halldor and Johannes, or you could just hit play and read it later. Yeah right. #pepping

Sexual Snowboarding Presents: Pepping!

We have done a follow up for Sexual snowboarding with a similar style as last year since we got such sick feedback on that movie!

The concept is pretty much the same as last year, it takes you through our season – trip by trip. Its just a short high tempo movie around 20 min so its perfect to watch before you go snowboarding. The whole point with Pepping! is that you are suppose to wanna go snowboarding like never before after watching it.

What does the word Pepping mean? – It’s just a Scandinavian word combo off being Pumped, Little bit Horny and Stoked at the same time.

Riders in the movie: Eiki Helgason, Halldór Helgason, Gulli Gudmundsson, Kareem El Rafie, Leo Crawford, Ethan Morgan, Tor Lundström, Risto Roukola, Tony Kerkela, Eero Ettala, Fredu Sirviö and the almighty open part where the Helgasons.com followers got the opportunity to send in their banging shots from this season!

We claim this years ‘open part’ is the best thing that has ever happened (haha). We got over 1000 mails with kids sending their shots, they where so fun to watch! We are so stoked on all the people that send us their banger shots and thank everyone that have contributed to one of the best video parts in history… We got to give extra credit to: Flo Corzelius, Daniel Diedrich and Alex Haapamäki – You guys strait up killed it.

Locations filmed: Iceland, Finland, Japan, Italy, Austria, Sweden and Switzerland.

With the Helgason brothers’ second movie, Pepping!, set to drop like a vat of burning oil on snowboarding’s interconnected global brain at 16.00 CET today, we hit up Eiki Helgason to shoot the shit and find out what to expect….

First up. The name, Pepping!? It sounds like some kind of sexual deviance that you could wind up in jail from performing. What’s the story behind that?

Hahaha, no it’s not that good. It’s a Swenglish (mix of Swedish and English) word that we started to use. It means being pumped and stoked at the same time. Maybe later on we will come up with a new sex position and call it ‘Pepping’, whatever it will be it’s gonna blow your minds.

Let’s do the basics. Who’s in it?

Me, Halldor, Gulli, Tor Lundström, Ethan Morgan, Eero Ettala, Fredu Sirvio, Kareem el Rafie, Leo Crawford, Toni Kerkelä, Risto Ruokola, and a lot of people that sent in footage for the open part, so maybe you are in it if you sent us your shots.

Who’s not in it that you wish was in it?

The rest of the 7/9/13, Lobster, Hoppipolla and Switchback crews, and many many more. If we would have everyone that we like in it then the movie would be at least one week long.

What can we expect from it?

You can expect to be pumped and stoked to go out and ride with your friends and do random stuff after you watch it.

If Pepping! was a cocktail you could order at the bar, what would be in it?

20% Vodka, 20% Tequila, 30% Monster, 20% Milk, 10% Tabasco. “Pepping”.

If Pepping! was a sexual act that DOESN’T LAND YOU IN JAIL, what would it be?

Something that only few people would be able to perform, because it wouldn’t be fun if everyone is doing it…

What’s the perfect ratio of good snowboarding to dicking around for a shred flick? And how does your movie fair on this scale?

I’d say 70% snowboarding and 30% funny stuff. I think that’s a recipe for a banger snowboard movie.

Like last year you had the kids send in shots, some of which will make it to the film. Why was it important to you guys to do this again?

When we were young we always though how sick it would be if we could send in clips to the big movie companies and have a chance to get in, and now that we are making movies ourselves we want to give people that opportunity. I think it’s so sick to see what everyone is throwing down. Keep it up, guys! Unfortunately we didn’t have space for everything so we had to pick out the absolute bangers.

Did you get any messed up shit come through from the kids? And some stuff that made you think holy crap this guy’s good?

Yeah, for sure we got some hammers. We think this could be the Video Part of the Year.

Was it easier or harder making this movie than last year’s?

It was way better for me because I was injured all the time last year. This year I had a good season so I’m stoked. Halldor and Gulli both got injured early season so I had to fill in for both of them, haha!

Is it a continuation of the kind of film Sexual Snowboarding was, or is it a different beast entirely?

It is a similar style. We think it’s a good change to have the riders mixed up through the whole movie, the plan is then later on to release full parts from me, Halldor and Gulli. So things are going down.

What was the most fucked up thing that happened shooting for the movie? Did it make it in?

Gulli’s crash. It was so sick and, yeah, it’s in the movie. His collarbone got all fucked up.

How has been Coach Thunder’s feedback been on the project? Have you finally made him proud?

He is never proud. He makes us feel so shitty and worthless so we keep trying to push ourselves to the limit to get better shit for the movie, haha.

Hard sell time. Why should we watch this? Are there any triple corks or people winning big trophies or shots from large helicopters with cameras that cost more than I make in several years?

There is a triple! But no trophies. We do have heli shots but the heli itself is not so big  - the shots came out sick though. But you should watch it because its a good change from all those super serious films out there, it’s more done so people can get pumped and stoked at the same time!

Finally, that drink with angel wings just won this week’s global marketing domination competition by having some dude jump from a biiig condom in space. Being that you’re backed by Monster, how will you outdo this? Mars? Uranus? You must have something planned…

We did some trips to Mars and Uranus with a layover on Jupiter, actually, but we had bad luck with the weather so we didn’t get anything that made it into the movie. Maybe next year!

Your favourite Icelandic scatologists are back with the full teaser for their new movie, Pepping! Check what Eiki and Halldor Helgason plus their army of bros have in store in the full teaser for their follow up to Sexual Snowboarding…

Judging by the beatings that the boys endure whenever Ride of the Valkyries is playing, it’s surprising they’re not currently in traction. This lot ain’t no regular Joes, though. C’mon, when was the last time you heard Wagner mixed with squelchy techno?

Teasers for teasers are currently the new hype, so never ones to miss out on shredding’s here and now the Helgasons have released this pre-tease to their follow up to Sexual Snowboarding. Let it roll…

We’re not sure quite what ‘pepping’ is – the internet suggests it’s a reference to something “exciting and full of vim”, or alternatively a nod towards a classical composer (doubtful with these two eh?) but we’re convinced it’s some kind of sexual deviance. Off to check urban dictionary.com…
