    The best part of TAC is the fact that being a rider or staff member of the event, one gets to live the life of snowboard legend Terje Haakonsen. TAC is truly about enjoying life as Mr. Haakonsen sees and experiences the world, which is a very special thing indeed. Unlike most contests that are all about, “Flights, Contest Formats and Hotel Rooms,” says Terje. “We want the riders to experience more and stay fresh, whether that is days off skating, playing some football or just enjoying the city they are visiting.”

  • Ullr Brings Snow To "Classic Air" Contest

    It was the first judged day of the tenth annual The Oakley Arctic Challenge, and characters came from all nooks and crannies to see what was to go bounding from atop the lip-even Ullr, the norse god of snow. That zealous bastard poked his nose into the day’s business from the get go, and made sure speed was an issue for most of the day. It’s nice of him to think that fresh snow was wanted, but it was bad timing. It pretty much groped nuts.
