Johan Olofsson
July 1993
Riksgransen, Sweden

It was my first trip to Riksgransen with Brad Steward. Dave Seoane was filiming with Terje, Alexi, Sebu, and all that. We were doing the first Scanners article. We go to the backside of the mountain where there was a huge spine. Terje was going huge off it and everyone else was eating shit. Then all of the sudden there was this kid that went off it super huge. We asked Terje who it was and he said, "Oh his name is Johan. He’s 17." Johan just hit it once and went flying by and I got the shot. In the story he was written up as just this hot kid named Johan.
