After his gold medal win in WX '10's Big Air, Halldor quickly became known among the best snowboarders in the world. He has shown that he can hang with just about anybody when it comes to throwing big rotations off jumps or over-the-top spin/grind combos out in the streets. However, at WX '11 he didn't make it out of his first heat in Big Air and failed to land a complete run in Slopestyle. He's not super competitive and that could be his downfall; he says he's stoked whether he places first or last. Entering WX '12 competing only in Big Air and Real Snow, he says, "We'll just see what happens. I don't like to claim anything."
