My friend Trevor Graves uploaded this photo of Craig today.
It was shot in Riksgränsen, Sweden, in 1989 and has an interesting story behind it (click to enlarge).

Clip from Riksgränsen.

Riksgränsen is about 5 hours north of where I grew up and I´ve been there almost every year since 1994 when the legendary 55DSL contest happened.

Here´s a sweet clip from the Pirates film collective. Enjoy.

I love how people say I blew the shot. Sure I lost the lip, but that shot was the intro for he biggest snowboard film of the year (Stomping Grounds) and has paid my bills and taken me around the world for the past 13 years.

Thanks Gorg.
