“Juuso crazy” is what we like to call him around the Ride office, but crazy is far from the best word to describe this young Fin. In fact, Juuso is a calm, cool, levelheaded dude from Espoo, Finland. Juuso’s precision can be seen in his smooth and calculated snowboard style, complete with very few mistakes and making the difficult appear easy. Juuso comes from a long line of Finnish snowboarders to break onto the scene generation after generation, and with the amazing talent that comes out of Finland it only gets more difficult to stand apart from the norm. The standards are set high and when Juuso journeyed westward to pursue his snowboarding career, he stood far enough apart to be handed a video part from Standard Films in the 08/09 season. Juuso has most notably grown into his pro status under the lens with a few strong finishes in the Air and Style rookie challenge and a couple podiums like a 1st place and MVP of the Etnies GvR contest in 2008. Juuso has followed it up in 2009 filming with Pirates new flick, "Jolly Roger". We think it’s safe to say you will see a little more of Juuso on the contest circuit in 09/10, but like any true snowboarder it will be hard to pull him away from his pow pow.
