First Descent (snowboard) Alaska backcountry Peak 7601

[Roxey213]

insane o.o

[NastyN8R84]

Damn you for putting this terrible but rock over the original music.

[blessmeish]

wow, thats amazing

[KennySC2]

he's suicidal

[thenorwigianAmerican]

@KennySC2 He's Norwegian :D

[lanavart1]

amazing

[lanavart1]

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crowpass]

To do these things, one must have a Love or gift. In my American opinion, this makes me think of Mike Jordan, Tiger Woods, also that newer basketball player who used to play for Cleveland but moved to Fla.  This is good. Done by those who it happens to come to well.

[MacGyver920]

Why doesn't this have like millions of views. Oh, I forgot! He's European.

[ras482cornelledu]

@MacGyver920 What are you talking about half of the more popular riders today are European. Torstein, Haldor and Eiki, all those crew are becoming hugely popular

[MacGyver920]

@ras482cornelledu So that's why it's illegal to give European videos a million views on YouTube?

[MacGyver920]

Because he's European, this video won't ever get a million views. You have to be American or Japanese, or from any other place EXEPT Europe, otherwise the Americans won't give a shit, cause they hate Europe.

[madsfrederiksen79]

@MacGyver920 BLA BLA BLA

[MacGyver920]

@madsfrederiksen79 It's true.

[rmsierzp]

Terje is sick! Awesome ride!!!

[palo098]

What the fuck



[wandery2k]

So.....shouldn't it be named Mt. Håkonsen's instead of Peak 7601? Just sayin....

[OJNOproductions]

[jarhead644]

[golfpride72]

[HumpinGrannys]

He is one of Chuck Norris's offspring.

[OJNOproductions]

@HumpinGrannys No Mr. HGranGran, Chuck Norris offsprang from Master Håkonsen.

[HumpinGrannys]

@OJNOproductions

Perhaps your words speak truth wise one. Chuck Norris is washing up while Mr Haakonson still is living the dream.

[TheDeranged123]

Fuckin insane, how does that pitch even hold snow.

[airic554]

@TheDeranged123 haha for real, i bet it took a long ass time to find a good peak in all those mountains.

[Andy2008230]

[zolai123]

I'm from norway so i'm pretty proud of living in the same country as that guy!

WOW

[olominati]

weird looking at this, cause i was in alaska 5 years ago, snowboarding. We had a accident. My best friend falled about 100 meters and broke his back. Luckily he survived, but he sits in a wheelchair today.

[SouthSho450]

make one false move and its a down south trip !!

[lownrangr]

disgustingly sick

[Theboyking567]

I was out in Valdez last weekend and i killed this peak too bad i didn't have three helicopters filming me and sick production team to make it look really hard peak 7601=my bitch Alaska is not bad, but try back country ridding in Switzerland that'll put some hair on your balls - kutos to terje tho snow boarding legend

[jayjar8Quigonwest]

[Cea987]

[dtchunkbrown]

[seetherfreak218]

[deeznuts1776]

TERJE RIDES THE BACK COUNTRY LIKE A SLICK PORNO MAN... SO SMOOTH

[droan999]

[cam43554]

[poochyham]

[FatCak3s]

[rodandina]

[thebnzwalch]

[eretochat]

Terje your a legend.

[leonidaspwnsxerxes]

[reggaecracker]

unreal!!!....oh and watch the whole video, sean white is there...they all are amped for Terje...!! wrong vibe u sending.....sean white is comp. and crazy freestyle // slope style ....you should see the kicker scene.....its insane....

[andergriff]

Beyond brave.

[MadeireiroPT]

his ears almost blow up with the atmosphere compresion omg

[deeznuts1776]

terje is obviously the best at snowboarding where it counts...back country this is the craziest descent ive ever seen

[pragmaticus123]

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii......

If that route had your standard ski-area rating it would be something like: 47 diamonds!!!

[Rainbowstunting]

I would have died doing that O.O

[tomwantsskis]

Free RIDE snowboard gear on my page, just click the link. RIDE has a search engine. You use their search engine and they earn money. They then give you points that can be used to buy snowboarding gear from their shop.

[Marc1414]

They're both rediculously good boarders. This guy and white. White is better in the park and pipe than this guy, and this guy is better on peaks like these than shaun white. That's what i'd say anyways.

[BringItOrGoHOME]

Shaun white is good but he will never be as good as Terje. :)

Terje is a legend. Shaun white... not so much haha :D

[devmanboarder990]

terje has balls the size of texas

[yellowcakecrew]

Shawn White Is da man..! American Power =D

[1stAndrewJS]

that's not shawn white

[safghaddy]

too bad this is Terje Haakonsen

[1veryreal]

@safghaddy  - Too bad your gay as fuck.....

[unrealharry]

@yellowcakecrew this is not Shaun White

[carlamasful]

where can I see this movie in internet ?

[tomwantsskis]

Wow that is sick shit I wish i could do that... Visit my page for RIDE snowboard gear easy and free.

[zionvinman]

are you kidding me!?!? thats how i have to get to school EACH DAY!

[WINNONAAA]

@zionvinman Can I go to your school?

[CanadianWoolTechno]

I'd like to see Shaun White do that...

[safghaddy]

exactly why i like terje better, he's got the balls to do that and can flip and spin and shit just about as good as shaun

[FatCak3s]

@CanadianWoolTechno YOu kidding me shaun white is only good at half pipe have u seen him on rails he looks like a 10 year old

[131197sebi]

@CanadianWoolTechno your right

[stevieblunder3]

@CanadianWoolTechno Then again Terje wouldnt be able to do a double mctwist 1260 winning an olympic medal, they are pros for a reason and should all get equal respect. props to terje for a ballsy decision

[mynameistoosecret]

@stevieblunder3 Dude, Terje was a proper progressive pipe rider in his day...

[stevieblunder3]

@mynameistoosecret really? was he good? cuz ive never seen that

[1veryreal]

@stevieblunder3 - actually he probably can!

[jakosnopp]

@CanadianWoolTechno Word!

[addysfriend]

@CanadianWoolTechno shaun white did ride back country this movie and he is actually sick

[StemNEItilEU]

He did ride backcountry, he was sick but, he would NEVER ride peak 7601 ..

[theeggize]

@CanadianWoolTechno Id like to see terje do a 900 followed by three 1080:s (back to back)

[jkdure]

@theeggize If terje want to learn tricks, i pretty sure he does it easy. But he fokus more on backcontry

[TheSKeB]

@CanadianWoolTechno

Shaun White wouldn't do that. He rides half pipes. He's about fame. It doesn't seem these guys are...

[SouthSho450]

@CanadianWoolTechno

i dont give a fuck about this red head !

Terje all the way !!

[lassetk]

@CanadianWoolTechno have you seen the first decent movie? :-)

[hollars1]

@CanadianWoolTechno No disrespect to Shaun, but you wont, because he cant....because even he knows that Terje is 5 times the all around rider that he is. Terje passing the torch to Travis Rice....mainstream media wants us to believe Shaun Whites style is what its all about, but real riders know thats not the case. Terje owns all of us.

[failisfun]

@hollars1 id have to agree with you Shaun is great at freestyle but all together terje is better

[failisfun]

@CanadianWoolTechno ok go ask him to

(he probably will say no)

[JGottshalk9]

@CanadianWoolTechno Shaun White did do that. This clip is from a video called "First Descent". Shaun White is in it, and he does it too.

[wintersnowboard]

@JGottshalk9 no he didnt, they all went up and the conditions werent right and then at the end terje decided to go up and he was the only one that did it

[jkdure]

@DroppinKnowledge69 Well Shaun didnt ride this pike, and everyone knows that nobody is even close to Terje when it comes to riding montains.

[GnarlyAssFools]

@CanadianWoolTechno he was on the trip!

[thechuckmeista5]

Fucking great song. soundgarden forever

[91EllBell]

Holy shit! Dude, that was incredible!

[poncho2211]

shit looks scary

[fiordalisi12]

what foo fighters song is that in the background?

[sbrawsm]

It's called HELL

[everybodyhateshaters]

me someday... :-)

[oberson58]

thats insane

[zachbernst]

amazing. That wide chute he gets into has got to be the most beautiful run in the world.

[frostymanable]

Terje is a fucking beast

[TheDJuliete]

WOW i almost came in my panties !!!! LOL

[Gadoubyuu]

Amazed by this guy's control and skill, I would have ground my teeth flat every time the board went straight. The part where he is making the huge S's at 1:37 after flying down the peak made me FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-­! I can't even comprehend how fast he was going, it is terrifying.

[hundrose]

Soundgarden - Hands All Over

[MatthieuN]

whats the song called???

[1BattleAngel]

*lol* pussyman?? ha thats sort of a fitting name for a dude that brags about dropping an "expert diamond"..i have been riding for 19 years and never heard someone say something is "worse then an expert diamond" HA if you truly love to ride there is nothing that can be "worse" then anything...only more of a challenge which ='s FUN and food for the soul..

[mentalobe119]

that is the narleyest thing ive ever seem in my entire life!! just sitting at the top and commiting to it would be unreal!!! amazing!!! =DD

[cuboarding2]

I have been doing a lot of back country out west but damn that shit is steep.

[tearecords]

It's steep but not as steep as it looks in this video. The original is widescreen (16:9) and this version is squashed left-right (4:3) as it hasn't been converted properly for YouTube. Imagine pulling the sides of the frame to fill the whole width of the screen and you can see that the mountain wouldn't look as steep. Still pretty scary though!

[UBGActionMedia]

Thanks for throwing down on a new edit... To hell with whoever claimed copyright.....

No, Terje would not want to name a mountain after himself...

Should we TRUST pussyman?...

I'd be thinking about my life and praying to the Eywa spirit before dropping in on that.

60° is very gnarly.

Props Haak...

[libb3n]

So, is the peak named after Terje now or what?

[dellrides88]

my emotions are mixed between chills, exhilaration, and nausea at how steep that is.

[pussyman121312]

this is fucking hardcore that's a straight down hill!!! that's worse than expert diamond and trust me i've done an expert diamond on a snowboard

[gnurider29]

@pussyman121312 youve done expert diamond on a snowboard you must be good

[Satsbobats]

WOW

[aTruster]

The music played to this should be Tubular Bells by Oldfield.

[ripped131]

Idk much about pro snowboarders but i hope they get paid like any other pro athlete. These fuckers deserve to make bank....insane

[humaneeds]

Plz tell me they didnt waste this by not placing a camera on him...

[dShitbrick]

All I can say is DAMN!!! No Way!!

[quoe1]

can't even imagine what its like to stand on that tiny patch of snow and look down that razor edge cliff thinking 'i'm going to ride that'. balls of steel!!!

[boldbulkhead]

that's f***ing hardcore

[insanesnowboarder79]

fuckin crazy bro

[diskdragon89]

this man is a towering example of the snowboarding revolution and I would be stoked to be half as good as he is!!!!

[lucychoov]

I cant get over this.......

[Sniktau]

Incredible Descent !!!!

[MrTysonAnderson]

thats why hes the man

[tukiymen]

music??? please, please...

[smads]

Soundgarden. Hands All Over

[magdalenarose0]

@tukiymen yeah and the very beginning is Eon Blue Apocalypse

[hawkigra]

@tukiymen your an idiot

[gggilbooo]

i set the line the day before how you think he knew where to go?

[psych0killah]

awesome!

[hollars1]

Ive been riding since about 92' and Terje was my idol, still is. This I think proves that all the corporate X games profiteering aside, at the root of snowboarding is the spirit or riding...and that is why this video for me proves Terje to be the greatest ever. Hopefully Travis Rice can carry the torch.

[quoe1]

respect

[sk8endorphin]

thats unreal
