Me and Martin Söderström entered in the GoPro Video Challenge up in Åre, Sweden. We got there a day late, I got sick, and Martin had to go to Stockholm for one of the days, so we are super pumped we figured it out. We managed to win best edit, best POV, and best rider. Thanks for a sick week!

 Video: Martin Söderström Rides Downhill, takes bikes from his sponsors when they don't want him to, sucks at answering his phone, cases a stepdown that he jumped from the previous lip. In my eyes thats one of the best videos i've seen in a long time.
