In the last part of the Ästhetiker crew´s “UP North” road trip through Norway they end up in Riksgransen / Sweden to celebrate the 20th anniversary of a legendary snowboard event and a changing point in worldwide snowboarding.

20 years ago Ingemar Backman catapulted the snowboarding sport on a totally new level with his so far never seen huge backside air. That jump was a total game changer and graced the title covers of numerous snowboarding magazines worldwide. And to celebrate that legendary jump some of the world´s biggest snowboarding personalities came down such as Terje Haakonson, Nicolas Müller, Ingemar Backmann (of course), Drew Stevenson (most influential dude in the biz!), Steve Gruber and many more.

Pure Ästhetics!

It´s winter time and it´s cold outside. Ok true, it depends on where you are based, but here in Germany it´s freezing cold right now. And this brings us to legendary Austrian Snowboard crew the ÄSTHETIKER. For more than a decade these guys were known to reveal the full joy and fun part of Snowboarding, with the addition of Skateboarding and Surfing. The ÄSTHETIKER crew, consisting of pro snowboarders like Steve Gruber, Tommy “Beckna” Eberharter, Wolle Nyvelt and more, always incorporated the true Freestyle ästhetics in a nice & easy laid-back style.

This time these guys went on a road trip way up to the north of Europe, into the heart of Norway. Think it´s too cold to surf there? Naaahhhh, check this first part of the trip and learn for yourself:
