One of those up and coming talents is Jussi Mononen. The 21 yr old Fin
from Tampere, riding previously for Movement skis, has signed with LINE
over the summer, and we are excited to see what comes next from Jussi.
He started skiing when he was 7 years old, coming from a family with
two sisters. His hobbies include playing the piano, and is currently
studying international business. Besides LINE skis, he is currently
riding for Fulltilt boots, Orage, Smith, and Level. Last season was a
great season for Jussi as he finished 2nd at the Lendzerheide City Big
Air, Sappe Snow Park Big Air, Frozen City Air & Style; and third at
the Kalajoki X-Games Big Air, and the Ruka Fabulous Slopestyle. He
plans to compete in some local Scandinavian comps, and the larger
European ones like the Austrian Open, Champs Open, and the European
Open where last year he qualified for the finals in slopestyle. Even
with that busy schedule, Jussi was still able to get out and do a bit
of filming including credits in Legacy (07’), Ilikethisthen, and the
upcoming Roots. Here is the trailer of Roots from Verse Productions
where also. Line Rider Patrick Hollaus is also featured:
