What is your favourite video section from the past? Mikkel Bang's part from Burton Snowboard's “It always snowing somewhere”

Do you still watch this part online today? Yeah I do!
Have you got the song from this part on your current Itunes? Haha actually I have! I do ride with it in my ears nowadays as well.
If you ever spoke to the rider about this part and got to ask him one question about it, what would you ask? Ooh hard question, maybe “How fast did you go into that hip?” haha
