Name:  Samuel Christensson

Nationality:  Swedish

Sponsors:  Santa Cruz, Landing Headwear, Dope Clothing

Riding since:  1990

Favorite board:  The Duff 156 - Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff!

Best trick:  Good question! Some days I don't get anything right, other days everything just goes perfectly. Then I like to spin 7s in all rotations and to do nice rail combos.

Favorite trick:  Miller flip, SW FS Pretzel

Home resort:  Åre, Sweden

Favorite spot:  The G-spot? Or any place with steep terrain and untouched powder. but a nice handrail in the backyard would do it too :)

Favorite rider:  The guy on the hill with the biggest smile is my favorite! To name one certain I would say Matthew Sedunary. This Australian dude has been sending it last year and is one of my favorite shredbuddies, always good vibes :)

Favorite snowboard movie:  I must say Standard Films - White Balance - from 2003. Espcecially the last part with Matt Hammer, he had so much style.

If I could change one thing about snowboarding today, that would be:  The level of snowboarding today is insanely high! It is good with progression to be motivated for sure. But there is a thin line between motivation and frustration. So my change would be that everyone would understand that at the end of the day it is all about having fun, not about being the best.

What has snowboarding taught me:  Snowboarding is a perfect way to travel the world, to see new places and meet new people! That has taught me to really appreciate our beautiful nature and to enjoy these moments together with friends.

What are the main goals in my snowboarding career:  To keep being motivated and have fun on my board together with friends until I'm grey and old!

3 things I can’t live without:
