torsteinIt was just a matter of time that Mr. Horgmo will make his way to the Pro Team. We’ve been following his development for quite long time. This guy has the style and does very technical tricks smooth! Just check his part from the DC Mtn Lab 1,5 below and you know it!

“Torstein Horgmo, the latest rider to join DC’s professional snowboard team. On the DC am squad for three years, Torstein has been a constant on the Big Air and Slopestyle podiums this season, and his distinctive riding style make him the perfect addition to the exclusive list of elite DC pro riders.

Torstein’s been an undeniable threat in competition this winter season. In early January 2009, he took first in Slopestyle at the second Winter Dew Tour in Vermont, and then followed it up by snagging first place at the third and final Winter Dew Tour stop at Northstar Resort this past February. His long list of accomplishments goes on to include Big Air win at X-Trail in Tokyo, a Silver in the Winter X Games 13 Big Air event, first place in Slopestyle at the Burton Australian Open this past September, and a Best Trick win at Oakley Stylewars in August. Torstein also earned a Gold medal in the Big Air event at Winter X Games 12 with his Switch BS 1260. His video parts include his segment in Standard’s’ Aesthetica and DC’s MTN.LAB 1.5 most notably his frontside 720 tailgrab alongside Ken Block’s rally car aerial attack in the New Zealand Snow Park session, which also landed the cover of “Snowboarder Magazine.”
