Following his win at the Hemsedal Spring Sessions Mikkel was determined to push the limits even further. Recently at a private photo shoot in Norway Mikkel went big with a stylish backside 7 off a kicker with a 110ft gap! Mikkel stomped the landing approximately 180 ft from the kicker, a personal best for him. This is what Mikkel had to say….
“Well I wasn't planning on jumping at all. But I did. It was fun for sure!!”
Good onya mate. Lookin’ forward to seeing you Down Under this season! And good luck for your upcoming exams at school.
