Johansson was on a busy schedule this season and finding time to film was a challenging task. We recruited Andrew Schubert to track Emil during the tight window of practice as he prepared for the biggest slopestyle event of the year. Andrew’s background is shooting BMX and with a traditional camcorder setup, the result is raw, simple footage. So be warned! This is a short no-frills edit that does not include mossy pan shots, blowing grasses or drone lift offs!

Emil’s riding does the talking here.

 I wonder if he knows how to single barspin while straight air...I doubt it. Emil is simply future of the sport !

 Here's a question, for anyone who's three'd a set of doubles D in a big wheel bike?

How well do they rotate (so in comparison to a 20inch wheel)? Also, what tire pressure are most of these dudes running?
  • 2 0
 They run very close to max tire pressure, usually around 55-65 PSI
  • 5 0
 They still spin well. Slower than a 20" but because of the larger rotational forces of a 26" wheel I personally feel more stable when doing a 3 on a 26" than on a 20" especially when it comes to longer air time.

 I ran 80 psi front and rear at Joyride! Harder/faster the better!
