The man competed in his last x games today and got a bronze medal. His run was so sick, especially with the nose butter dub. Plus the dude was just so stoked after he found out once he got bronze, seemed more excited than Goepper. Seems like a great guy and props to him on a kick ass last x games.

Actually he did both way dub 10s in Reasons, a year before EDIAS. He did both way kangaroos in EDIAS though.

He will continue to upload TGP edits, an blow everyone away, every time, he's rail game is from  the future!

He's jumping has been mindblowing for years, just because he doesn't have a natural way of spinning, at least it doesn't' seem so.
Remember Hatveit's invitational back in 09, or something, when all riders started with 180's, then every rider had to complete 180's both ways, then the next run was 360 both way, and it went on, until only 1 guy made the two! Sick way to run a bigjump comp!

huge smile, sick skiier!

I remember watching him back in the day and he always was so stoked on life and skiing. He's what got me into skiing to begin with I think. I saw he podiumed and got so pumped.

So mucho mucho this.

Here's a link to the most hi-res version of Andreas' JOSS edit from 2008 that I've found.

Great display of both natural and unnatural spins at 2:18 and some crazy follow-cam work by his brother Jon (especially at 3:16).

Plus, as so many have already said; the guy always shows up with a constant stoke-grin, which seems to be nothing but the real thing. Legend.

Below: Andreas during the King of Style comp in Stockholm 2007.

The first time I saw Andreas was at the bottom of the X slope course on the first day of practice in 2009, and all the skiers were absolutely hating the course and the conditions. Athletes complaining left and right. And then there was Andreas - all smiles, super happy to be skiing, talking to the spectators about how much fun the jump section was, and how rad Sammy's rail game was that day. He stood out in such stark contrast in a really cool way.
