Halldor Helgason Interview: Keeping it fun & chill

Halldor Helgason

Hometown?

Iceland / Akureyri

Do you consider yourself an elite athlete?

no not at all, i’m just a normal snowboarder, trying not to have it serious in anyway, that way it will always be fun and chill

Who would win in a fist fight between you and your brother Eiki?

hehe Eiki has pretty much knocked me out, but i think i would take him down now

Nosepresses or tailpresses, which are cooler?

that just goes after the person, some people can do sick nosepresses an other sick tailpresses,  but i think nosepresses are more easy

Random Question: Should Sophie stop drinking?

hell no!

What is the best thing about being from Iceland?

it’s a mellow place to come from, and the language is sick

Rails or jumps?

rails, but i want to learn more on jumps

Reverse camber…good or bad?

haven’t tried one

Halldor Helgason Frontline Rail Jam

If you could have one of Eiki’s tricks which one would it be? And, if he could have one of yours which one do you think he’d want?

i would want his double bs rodeos they are so sick, and his cab 360 sw 5050 on rails. i think he would want my bs double cork, and nollie hardway bs 270 on rails


Who do you think is the hottest female snowboarder?
Torah Bright


Where you always this good at snowboarding, or did it just happen overnight?

no not at all, i was not some wonder kid, it took me a long time to get were im now, but i learned a lot from my brother, he was always pushing it so hard and killing it, so it made me wanna keep up with him, but im stoked that it took a long time, then other riders can see that they dont have to be any wonder kids to get far in snowboarding, its just to ride as much as you can, have fun, try your best all the time and chill.

Was the laid out backflip to backside rodeo in ‘They came from’ fun or scary, and how do you do those tricks?
it was fun!, im not afraid of flips, so thats just fun for me, me and my brother have always been doing a lot of flips since we were small, but those jumps were so mellow and good, so it was sick

What did you have for dinner?
i’ve only eaten banana, doughnut, hot chocolate and a brownie today, keeping it healthy like always!
