We met big mountain rider Jarkko Henttonen in Chamonix back in 1996. He was already by then gained a reputation of THE snowboarder that rode big mountains, steep lines and huge, fast turns. Something that wasn’t so popular in the early nineties (remember the days of 145cm boards, flatland tricks, “jib-bonking” and XXXL …
