Norwegians. Vikings. Berserkers as Thórbiörn Hornklofi called them in his skaldic poem Haraldskvæði from the late ninth century. I’ve been told it’s Icelandic (the book not the berserkness). Anyway, there’s a well-deserved reputation there for uncontrolled fury that’s clearly evident in the on-snow style of today’s descendants. Chargers, one and all. Even the women.
This particular crew of Norsemen is called Ducksjen and the boys from up north are doing a damn fine job of proving there’s still a whole lot of creativity left in snowboarding.
Berserkers, indeed.
