EUROPE

SNOWBOARD

World Snowboard Championship, Oslo (Norway). DC rider Eric Beauchemin ranked #4 and is ranking #2

on the overall TTR slopestyle tour CONGRATS. The level

was pretty high and the slopestyle huge!

Check out the reports @ http://www.fluofun.com.

Torstein THE LOCAL has been eliminated right in quarter final, but he was @ home and so seems to had good time and good vibes while riding with his local friends… Check out the edit http://www.dcshoes.com/fr/fr/snow/news/norway-friends-good-vibes-02212012

http://vimeo.com/37110958 | http://www.torstein.net http://snowbroader.eu/2012/02/21/good-vibes-with-torstein-horgmo/

+++ He will compete @ The European Winter X-Games, stay tuned and GO TORSTEIN!

Sondre Tiller was scheduled, but he injured himself during the training so he was not able to compete.

Torstein again – Here is the last edit of the DC web-series with the great Tor… A very powerful montage.
