It may seem tough for a tall person to make snowboarding look easy, but 6'2" Norwegian Bang (22) does it with style. Mikkel is transitioning from a contest kid/park rat into a rider known for epic video parts. After a poor performance in WX '11 Big Air he'll only compete in Slopestyle at WX '12, his favorite event. After WX '11, he broke his ankle attempting a backflip in a bar. He was fully recovered and back on snow by May and his first contest was the Oakley Air & Style in Beijing, China, in Dec 2011. He's focused on "working to get every spin, all ways, down solid."
