Onboard Magazine 100th Issue

So Onboard has made 100 issues now. I wasn´t really into Onboard.
I´d look through it when Vincent had pics in there, cause I liked watching them and odds were I was probably in the vicinity when he took them.
I made a movie with Absinthe films that they were producing and they never paid what they owed so yeah, I never really cared all that much about the mag.

So in this 100th issue (in newstands here in Sweden now) they list a bunch of historic things in our young sport of snowboarding.
Like Terje Haakonsen boycotting the olympics in 98, the birth of big air contests in the cities etc as well as list a bunch of things like, "King Of Style", "Most Influential Rider" etc.
These are a few things the panel of 400 (!) professional boarders (old and new) came up with.


Robot Food, a film/movie company I worked with for three movies got awarded 2nd place in "Best Video Soundtrack" and tied 2nd for "Best Snowboard Movie Of All Time" for our first movie "Afterbang".

On the same page they awarded two more more guys hailing from the northern parts of Sweden.
Ingemar Backman got 1st in "Most Momorable Moment In Snowboard History", that´s not a small feat. Congrats Ingo.

Johan Olofsson, from the little mining town of Gällivare, got "Best Rider Section In A Movie". Which also is a great feat.
I was stoked to see us three on the same spread, well I wasn´t there solo but I´ll take some credit for Robot Food:)

Other mentions were Nicolas Muller getting the best style award (and 2nd place in "Section In A Movie") with JP Solberg in 2nd place. JP is currently unsponsored too! I wish I could hire him.

Here are clips associated with the post:

Teaser for Robot Food´s first movie "Afterbang". Those were the days.


Ingemars huge air from 1996:


Johan´s part:


Nicolas part from "Futureproof" (2nd place in "Section In A Movie"). I´m pretty sure this version has a different soundtrack than the original clip.


Here are two more clips with Nicolas.
1:
Nicolas from Fuel TV´s "First Hand" from a few years ago.
2:
Sick 2 min clip from a Burton movie called "For Right Or Wrong". Looks like it was filmed in 1 day in Hemsedal, Norway.
I really like this segment. Hemsedal has awesome spring riding, reminds me a lot about riding in Riksgränsen, Sweden, in May.

I couldn´t find many clips concerning Afterbang, but here are some links:
A short insight look of what we did while filming Afterbang.

The soundtrack.

Travis Parker´s part from Afterbang. One of my favorites.
