17-year-old Sven Thorgren

This edit is all about the W I N N E R of last year’s Rookie Challenge - SVEN THORGREN !
He came by the Pirate’s HQ in Innsbruck last spring to join a session and getting to know the crew. This young man from Sweden is not only an outstanding stomper with g00d style but also got a helpful, interested and mellow character. Keep it up Sven!

Such a rippo!

Malung snowboard gymnasium (snowboard high school) is about 50km from here. Nearly all the best scandinavian rippers go there. Helgasons, Hampus Mosesson etc all went there.

Saw some photos of Sven riding the Pink Park in Lindvallen which is now my local park. Hopefully I get to see him ripping with my own eyes this season!
