DC WELCOMES TORSTEIN HORGMO TO ITS PRO SNOW TEAM
April 30, 2009 – VISTA, CA— Congratulations to Torstein Horgmo, the latest rider to join DC’s professional snowboard team. On the DC am squad for three years, Torstein has been a constant on the Big Air and Slopestyle podiums this season, and his distinctive riding style make him the perfect addition to the exclusive list of elite DC pro riders.
“From the moment I met Torstein at Superpark three years ago, I knew there was something special about his riding,” said Zack Dalton, DC Snow Team Manager. “Torstein is the complete package from the insane focus on his competition riding, to the meticulous attention paid to his style. It is a pleasure to welcome him to our pro team.”
Torstein’s been an undeniable threat in competition this Winter season. In early January 2009, he took first in Slopestyle at the second Winter Dew Tour in Vermont, and then followed it up by snagging first place at the third and final Winter Dew Tour stop at Northstar Resort this past February. His long list of accomplishments goes on to include Big Air win at X-Trail in Tokyo, a Silver in the Winter X Games 13 Big Air event, first place in Slopestyle at the Burton Australian Open this past September, and a Best Trick win at Oakley Stylewars in August. Torstein also earned a Gold medal in the Big Air event at Winter X Games 12 with his Switch BS 1260. His video parts include his segment in Standard’s’ Aesthetica, and DC’s MTN.LAB 1.5, most notably his frontside 720 tailgrab alongside Ken Block’s rally car aerial attack in the New Zealand Snow Park session, which also landed the cover of Snowboarder Magazine.

Torstein is deserving of a pro team salary but what about Chaz??
Torstein won some stuff this season but Chaz was the open series world champ?
LAME! put Chaz on Pro!

Chaz is even more of a goon than Torstein. No goonery allowed.
April 30th, 2009 at 4:38 pm

Jimbo. If you’ve never met the guy, how do you know he’s a tool? Why don’t keep your lame judgments and negativity to yourself. A sponsorship of any level deserves congratulation. Maybe you are jealous or just need some female company…either way, you’ve got issues son.

Chaz is so gay. he looks like the gay animal from the lion king… Torstein is so not gay! that is why he is über pro and Chaz is not!!
May 1st, 2009 at 8:58 pm
who cares if he is a tool? do you have to hang with him on a daily basis? def stylish and fun to watch. can’t wait to see his part for next year. so so sick, glad he’s moving on up!

Congratulations, Killing it for years Torstein is a machine, well deserved.

torstein is actually a pretty nice guy…sure he is a pro snowboarder..he knows he is good at what he does, but he isnt a douche bag with an attitude. how annoying would it be for you to have people in your face all the time? ive personally met him a few times…hes not the friendliest like scotty lago or scott stevens, but hes not an asshole…so keep your judgements to yourself.
