Very few 16 year old’s around the world can say they have seen as much as Stale. Starting as an original rookie at The Arctic Challenge, he was exposed to big transition riding at an early age. Growing up in Norway has it’s advantages if you are a snowboarder. Especially if you get to ride with Torstein Horgmo, Terje Håkonsen , and Andreas Wiig on the daily. Stale has progressed so fast at an early age it’s impossible to predict what’s next for him. But one things for sure, you will be seeing a lot more of him this winter. Focusing on halfpipe riding for the Norwegian National Team this year, Sandbech looks to represent his country at the 2010 Olympic Games.
