Well, either you are a beginner, which is\u00a0totally fine, or you should star reading\u00a0this news right now!\u00a0<\/strong>Snowboarding never stops &#8211; that\u00b4s why we are always trying to keep you updated about facts &amp; news coming out of the snowboard world, even during the summer\u00a0time. Alek\u00a0Oestreng, St\u00e5le Sandbech, Len J\u00f8rgensen and Olav Stubberud, proud members of the RK1 crew, are giving us the awesome occasion to present to you this sweet part of the new <a href=\"http:\/\/snowboarding.transworld.net\/videos\/transworld-snowboarding-presents-insight-teaser\/#3Rl3J6CP9bmCj0pI.97\" target=\"_blank\">TransWorld SNOWboarding Magazine<\/a> movie &#8220;Insight&#8221;. The four <a href=\"http:\/\/www.romesnowboards.com\" target=\"_blank\">Rome<\/a> pro\u00b4s basically grew up together, riding together everyday when they were young, This is when the crew RK1, formerly known as &#8220;RKN&#8221;, was born. RK stands for\u00a0Rykkinn, the place they grew up together in Norway. Speaking of Norway &#8211; this is what the &#8220;N&#8221; stands for. Saying it out loud in Norwegian the N sound a lot like &#8220;one&#8221; in English which presented the perfect opportunity to name the crew RK1. It also stands for creativity and in somewhat for a snowboarding bond, because riding alone simply sucks. Of course and like in every story that\u00b4s about growing up together, the daily trips to the slope in Norway has become a rather rarely situation. Everyone of the riders has a professional career as a snowboarder going on which makes the time span\u00a0to shred together a really small one. But, because the RK1 crew and the friendship between the four kept being strong and in tact, they all meet up for a big session once or twice a year. The video below features all of them in one clip and can be considered one of the sickest clips this year, having not just old friends together once in a while, but also giving us the great delight to see four absolutely sick riders together at one spot!
