Bio

With a one-track mind, hell-bent on victory and an arsenal of tricks that are literally head spinning – including switch 1080s and 1260s – Torstein is usually unstoppable. He has the contest hardware to prove it: five-time Winter X Games medalist; twice leading the Dew Tour Slopestyle season standings; and countless podium finishes. He’s taken down the likes of Travis Rice and Shaun White and built up a reputation of being able to shred among the best in the world on any given day.

But Torstein isn’t all about competition. He puts that array of tricks to use by entertaining his fans in sick video parts, as well. After parts in "Aesthetica and “I Ride Park City,” he recently released the trailer (above) for his documentary, “Horgasm: A Love Story.”
