Atheletes - Team 22

Ove Nestvold

Ove is a young skier from Norway- the birthplace of Telemark. This kid is as comfortable in the air as he is on snow. A 900, how many revolutions is that??

Where are you from, when did you begin skiing and telemarking, where do you ski most now?

I am from Lom in Norway. I started skiing alpine when I was 5 years old. Got my first telemark skis when I was 11 years old. When I was15 I got my first twintip skis, Armada AR5 with alpine bindings. The next season I mounted HammerHeads on the skis, and have been skiing telemark since. This is my third season on HammerHeads. I mostly ski in Oppdal, Norway because I've got a kind of skiing gymnasium here.

What are your favorite boots and skis?

My favorite boots are Scarpa T-1, and skis are Dynastar Pro Rider XXL and Dynastar Big Trouble.

What do you like about HammerHeads?

The stability, the durability and the possibility for adjustments by using the pivots.

What do you like to do for fun when you’re not skiing?

Downhill biking, hanging out with friends, girls and much more...

Accomplishments, awards, and sponsors:

2nd place Hemsedal Freeride, 2005
6th place Røldal Freeride Challenge, 2006
4th place Extreme Swedish Championship, Fünesdalen, Sweden, 2006
Stuck a 180 on the Mega Park jump in Oppdal, 2006. (25 meter gap, 6 meter high jump)

There is a kind of racing here in Norway we call “fjelltelemark” in english it would be mountaintelemark. You have a mountain, a very open speedy course with few gates and no prepping. Only the natural snow conditions. So you need guts to not brake and get the best time down. The last two seasons I have competed in 5 of these races and won every one in the junior class. One of them I had the fastest time of all. And the last one I competed in was the Norwegian Championship, and won.

In the park I can do some things

Cork 720, FlatSpin 720, Rodeo 720, Cork 540, 720, 540, and 180. The 900 will get on the list this winter, I almost have it now.

Other Sponsors

Scarpa, Dynastar, The North Face, Cèbè and Sweet Protection.
