Like his brother Eiki, Halldor is never one to fit comfortably into a pre-approved mould. As the first rider on course for the X-Games Aspen Big Air Finals,  he decided to go for the most timeless trick in snowboarding: the method.

Like a back-scratching, two-fingered salute to the X Games judges, this trick said “snowboarding isn’t about spinning to win, it’s about fun.”

This wasn’t our favourite one of the season though – while Halldor’s method may have enough tweak to take your eyes out, the method of the year has to go to Kent Callister for this ridiculous methods in the pipe. First in Sochi then at the US Open.
