Pro rider Daniel Bodin have tried to set a new world record by doing the longest backflip on a snowmobile. He wanted to beat his own record 148 feet that he did during Winter X Games, but something went wrong this time and he crashed. Fortunately he didn't get hurt, and we will probably see more impressive record attempts further on.

Long after the tourist season has ended, the champagne has stopped flowing and the after-ski band has quieted. Long after all the frozen hydrogen and oxygen atoms have returned to their liquid form and disappeared into eternal circulation. Directly above the clouds,  you can still find the final remains to the realm of King Bore, the Ruler of Winter.

When leaving the Kiruna city border for the last 100 km trek to Riksgränsen, you notice you have already passed the last tree a long time ago. Except for bushes and some mountain birches the vegetation contains not much else at all.

I first heard of Ankan when we started touring freestyle shows with to be a few years back. I noticed him since he was really going for it and had an unfortunate nickname. I was still surprised though when soon after, I saw him pictured in a skateboard magazine. The combination of skateboards and snowmobiles is rare so I decided to give him a call to figure out what he was about.

Ankan [Duck], that’s an ugly name.  Do you like it?
– Ha ha, thanks! Well, my real name is Anders, even though no one ever uses it any more. I was playing soccer as a kid and I guess I was running like a duck, since then I’ve been stuck with it.  

You’ve got two careers, FSX and skateboarding. How do they coexsist?
