As topic above Henrik will be doing his first big mountain this weekend in Riksgränsen located in the north of Sweden.
The Scandinavian Big mountain Championship will be taking place there with FTW riders like Reine Barkered (verbier Extreme winner this year), Wille Lindberg (FWT rider) and worldcup racer Mattias Hargin.


Interview from Swedish site Freeride.se
http://www.freeride.se/henrik-harlaut-kor-nm/

Henrik says in the interview that he has been gaining some Big mountain Experience the last couple of weeks shoting for the new inspiered movie and that he is looking forward towards the competitios. He further says that he doesnt feel any pressure at all even tho he is a respected rider in sweden, that he is just out there for the fun

Discussion material: Whats your reaction about this and how do you think Henrik will perform on the big mountain scene?

I think that its sick he was out there. I doubted his technical skiing skills but they seemed to be there. Always good to see someone who has those basics. Yes, some improvement will help but they are there which is what matters.

Well that was fun! As I said before, definitely impressed with Henrik, he showed that he is first and foremost a skier, and that he has something in his head that most people do not.

And as for the infamous banquette, he was probably in the top 5. When they started blasting the Wu-Tang and Nas before the band was about to play, he was in a class of his own. So all in all, a well-rounded, good and impressive perfomance over all threee days.
