It\\u2019s going to be in some more contests this year since I\\u2019m doing all the &lt;a href=\\\"\\/2008\\/12\\/08\\/winter-dew-tour-announces-athletes\\/\\\"&gt;&lt;span style=\\\"color: #00ff00;\\\"&gt;Dew Tour&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt; contests. I will film a bunch of webisodes throughout the season, as well. But as far as filming, it\\u2019s not decided yet.&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you need to do to push things\\u2014to step it up a notch for yourself?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;First of all, I need to stay healthy. I just bruised my ankle a couple of days ago, so I have to chill on the couch for a bit now &amp;#8230; I get some time to think about some new things to do on my snowboard now and when I\\u2019m back in business, it\\u2019s time to see if I can man-up enough. For sure it\\u2019s important to ride with people who push you and who you have a good time riding with.&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/01\\/06\\/080407-andreas-wiig-163.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1000085536\\\" title=\\\"080407-andreas-wiig-163\\\" src=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/01\\/06\\/080407-andreas-wiig-163.600x400.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"600\\\" height=\\\"400\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;Photo Andy Wright&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Do you have some sorta new trick up your sleeve?&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I don\\u2019t have any new ones yet, but I\\u2019ve been thinking about a couple. Just waiting for the pow to see if I can give it a try. For sure want to try some kind of a backside double cork this winter.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So you don&amp;#8217;t really have plans already lined up?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;As far as filming it\\u2019s not lined up at this point. But I almost have the plan ready. Looks like it\\u2019s going to be pretty hectic as far as traveling this year because of all the contests. It usually never follows the plan when it comes to traveling, so it\\u2019s better not to have one. One thing I really want to do is to get a couple of weeks in Europe this winter. &lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who do you like to ride with the most?&lt;\\/strong&gt; &lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I really like riding with &lt;a href=\\\"\\/2008\\/12\\/14\\/torstein-horgmo-and-andreas-wigg-mini-shred-vid\\/\\\"&gt;&lt;span style=\\\"color: #ff0000;\\\"&gt;Torstein Horgmo&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;. He\\u2019s always super stoked on riding whether it\\u2019s park or pow. He\\u2019s a perfectionist when it comes to style and is always fun to watch. &lt;a href=\\\"\\/2008\\/12\\/15\\/no-correct-way-revelstoke\\/\\\"&gt;&lt;span style=\\\"color: #ff0000;\\\"&gt;Marius Otterstad&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt; is always fun to ride with as well.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Do you use any snowboard gear that doesn\\u2019t have your signature on it?&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;No, that\\u2019s totally unacceptable. &lt;em&gt;Ha Ha&lt;\\/em&gt;!&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;How are you involved in the process of designing your pro model gear?&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I usually have the original idea of how I want the final product to be. Throughout the year I have some design meetings with the different brands I ride for. The designers listen to my ideas and thoughts and start to design the product thereafter. It\\u2019s really cool to follow the whole process of making my pro model stuff. I never even thought I was going to have any.&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/01\\/06\\/andreaswiig_hauc.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1000085539\\\" title=\\\"andreaswiig_hauc\\\" src=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/01\\/06\\/andreaswiig_hauc.600x396.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"600\\\" height=\\\"396\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;Photo: Chris Wellhausen&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What\\u2019s it gonna take to win the &lt;a href=\\\"\\/2008\\/02\\/10\\/x-games-11-slopestyle\\/\\\"&gt;&lt;span style=\\\"color: #ff0000;\\\"&gt;X Games&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; slopestyle this season?&lt;\\/strong&gt; &lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;You definitely have to take some risks and not play it safe. And I think it\\u2019s important to do something that not everybody else does &amp;#8230; Your run has to stand out in some way. But most of all, I think you have to show some confidence in you riding\\u2014&lt;em&gt;stomp that shit&lt;\\/em&gt;! This probably sounds like something they would say on Sports Center\\u2014&lt;em&gt;Ha ha&lt;\\/em&gt;!&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;What will it take to get video part of the year next year?&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A lot of style and creativity. On top of that, invent some new trick. But it\\u2019s almost just as important how the video part is put together. If the part makes you wanna leave the living room immediately and go snowboarding, it\\u2019s usually a good part.&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/01\\/06\\/andreaswiig_frodephoto_mg_3593.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1000085537\\\" title=\\\"andreaswiig_frodephoto_mg_3593\\\" src=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/01\\/06\\/andreaswiig_frodephoto_mg_3593.400x600.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"400\\\" height=\\\"600\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;Photo Frode Sandbech&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are you anticipating most for this season?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Long powder days and fun park days with my buddies!&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Are you more famous in Norway or the USA?&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=\\\"font-weight: normal;\\\"&gt;Norway.&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Where have you been riding early season?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p class=\\\"MsoNormal\\\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I\\u2019ve been up in Colorado riding Keystone and Breckenridge.
