Stian Solberg
What's new with you?
Nothing at all.
Did you do anything new and exciting in the 2005/06 season?
I was so stoked. I got to bring along one of my good friends to film with me this season. It was a blast. I can't wait until next season.
Is there anyone new in your life?
I thought there was, but it didn't work out.
Have you done anything out of character lately?
I've been swimming a lot. I'm usually scared of the Ocean.
Did you accomplish any goals last season that you had been working toward?
Yeah. I'm starting to get the hang of riding my sled and getting better at
riding powder.
What are your goals for the 2006 season?
I'm gonna finish up my video part that I'm working on. Check out Defective Films. Hopeless perfection.
What's the worst injury you've ever had?
I broke my collarbone right before last season started. It wasn't as bad as a knee injury I've had earlier, but it still hurt like hell.
What's the best trip you've ever been on?
I had a super sick trip to Tahoe in late February, early March. Good snow, good people and good times!
Do you prefer parks, pipes, powder or rails?
Parks and powder.
Do you have any snowmobile experience?
I'm getting there.
Do you have a sled?
Yeah, and it's so fun.
Who influences you?
Anybody I see at the hill that are enjoying snowboarding and not taking it too serious is a huge influence. Also my brother and my friends motivate me.
What are some of your other hobbies?
Golfing and skateboarding.
What kinds of music do you like?
I'm mostly into hip hop, but Hampus has gotten me into some of the music he listens to.
What advice would you give to a 10-year-old snowboarder who is trying to get sponsored?
Don't think about it. You'll have more fun and be more stoked to try things out if you go snowboarding without putting too much pressure on yourself.
If you could go back into time 10 years, what would you do differently?
Nothing
