Post-camp interview with Tor Lundström - Fonna snowboard camp coach

After the camp, we sat down to have a few words with snowboarder Tor Lundström, member of the Norwegian Burton Team and also one of our snowboard coaches at the camp this year. Tor is basically a smooth Swede with a future ahead as bright as the sun shining on the Fonna glacier.

When where you born and where?
1/02/1992, in Switzerland actually.

How come you started to ride snowboard and for how long have you been riding?

I can’t really remember why but probably because it’s so much fun! I've been riding since i was like 5.

How did you get sponsored?

It was Rune Lundsør that helped me to hook up with Burton, thanks buddy!

What's your favorite trick?

Cab 540.

Is there any specific trick you wanna nail?

Bs 1080 would be sick!

Your best snowboarding memory?
When we got chased by ”ski polizia” down the whole mountain in Livignio in one meter of fresh powder and got away!

Your worst snowboarding memory?
Proubably when i crushed my heel in Saas-Fee in the pre-season last year so i couldn’t ride for several months.

Favorite spots to shred on?

Hemsedal, Laax and Fonna!

What are your plans and goals for the future?

Finish NTG (Norwegian College of Elite Sports) and keep snowboarding as long as my body is OK with it!

Any fellow boarders that influence you?

It’s so many, but Terje the most!

What's your verdict on Fonna?

A perfect shaped park in the morning, BBQ and summer in the evening. I love it!

What do you do when you don't snowboard?

I hang out with my friends and skate.

Rumour has it that you and fellow Norwegian Burton team mate Julius Ödegaard has a blog bromance concept in the making, what's your comment to that?

Yes! We were thinking about having like a video blog together! it’s more fun to write about things you experience together then just write about yourself allday, hehe, That's pretty much it.
