I first noticed Brage Richenberg, the Norse snowboard warrior, back in 2012 at the World Snowboard Championships in Norway. His riding wasn’t just technical, it was super-stylish.
He also raised the eyebrows of Nike Snowboarding’s Jon Weaver who deemed him “a bauss”.
At the end of last season Brage became quite possibly the first person brave/stupid/talented enough to try a double wildcat off the knuckle of the jump, which raised a few more eyebrows.
But it was 2013-14 when he properly stepped into the snowboarding spotlight, grabbing a storming 3rd place at the O’Neill Pleasure Jam and then snatching a gold medal at the Burton European Open.
Bravo Brage.
