Notable:
Jussi figured out how to win a Big Air contest; stomp a solid 900. Not only did he win WX V with a 900 but he also won the World Snowboard Championship with one. He is one of the few riders that Burton Snowboards feels is worthy enough to be on the team. Jussi is starting a clothing company called Makia with fellow Finnish snowboarder Joni Malmi.

Quote:
"I think you can do some great stuff on smaller jumps, as well as the big ones. I just like to go huge for myself. I think no one can want me to go higher than what I want myself. I want to win for myself in every trick I do, I want to do them bigger and bigger all the time."
