Nike ACG Team Blog : News from the snowbard team

While some of us have been honing our snowman building skills thanks to the latest dumping of European snow, Henning Marthinsen has been busy taking the snowboarding world by storm.

Last weekend he returned to The Arctic Challenge to defend his championship title for the third year in a row. As I guess you will have heard, this year was one of the most exciting TACs to date, with Terje Haakonsen setting the standard by gaining a new world record for the highest air. But that wasn't all that was going on...

Competition was fierce as 14 semi-finalists battled it out for 8 places in the super-final. After a day of super smooth and tech hits, the title eventually went to USA rider Kevin Pearce whilst Henning kept the pressure on throughout the entire competition, pulling off some impressive spins and finishing in second place. 

So with a place on the podium at this 5 star TTR event, Henning has earnt himself a tidy 800 TTR points bumping him up to 3rd place in the World TTR Rankings - nice going.

And if all that wasn't enough, he's also taken time out to give an interview to snowboardermag.com. Check the link to read his words of wisdom:
