Coming from someplace where,
you know, as soon as you're born,
1:16:03
you're throwing on a pair of skis
and pushed out onto the snow-
1:16:06
It's something that developed
really naturally for him.
1:16:09
Terje is really-
I mean, he's revered there.
1:16:11
He's a real icon.
1:16:13
Terje was the first guy
to break the barrier...
1:16:16
and turn into, like, the full-blown
snowboard rock star.
1:16:21
Terje Haakonsen became
a household name.
1:16:23
And for a name like Terje to fall off the lips
of some people in middle America,
1:16:27
that's saying something, for sure.
1:16:29
[ Lynn ] The platform that he's built
for himself, to see him take it
and to start a contest like this-
1:16:34
and to see him try to make
a difference with it-
1:16:36
makes the event that much
more enjoyable to experience.
1:16:39
Listen up, guys.
1:16:41
[Burton ] It's funny 'cause Terje
was always a guy that sat back...
1:16:44
and kind of reacted
to the powers that be.
1:16:48
For him to be in that position
is definitely a change.
1:16:50
[ Haakonsen ]
I like to have the control of what's
going on for us riders, you know.
1:16:54
I'm still riding in it.
1:16:56
[ Burton ]
He's had this vision
for where the sport should go.
1:16:59
A lot of younger riders probably
aren't aware ofthe fact
that it was that event...
1:17:02
and Terje making that event happen...
1:17:04
that brought this scale...
1:17:06
of snowboarding features
and snowboarding competitions
to that level.
1:17:10
[ Kass ] That's what Terje likes.
He's really, like, pushing
quarter-pipe riding,
1:17:13
and he has to pretty much
almost the limit and beyond.
