    For those of us that love to watch eXtreme snowboarding, Johan Olofsson is the definition of a madman. He spits danger in the eye and conquers insanity with his board.

    [Listen, Learn and Inspire]

    Name: Johan Olofsson
    Birth: October 27, 1976, Scorpio
    Job: Own company, snowboard, produce movies
    Status: Single
    Intrests: snowmobiles, fishing, composing music

    Board: n/a
    Movies: TB series, TGR Titon gravity research.
    Website: www.dreamexperience.com
    Bsta result: Rookie of the year, 1996

    Nominated two times as Best Big Mountain Rider 2000-2002

    Guiness World Record 1996: travelled on snowboard 3000 feet within 40 seconds.

    I met up with Johan in his hometown in Sweden. He usually travels back and forth between there and his "other" hometown in Canada.




    At the moment, he is awaiting delicate surgery on his knee, due to complications from an accident in September 2002. He failed to take care of it at the time, and the following year, in April 2003, he injured the same knee again at Riksgrnsen, between Sweden and Norway.

    (For everyone that would like to go skiing in Riksgrnsen: In May and June, that is the happening place, if you love snow shorts and bikinis).

    His friends call him Swede, while his close buddies in the town where he was born (rumor has it he came out on a board) call him Elof.

    The private Elof has given following responses to my questions.

    Girls: "Only on the weekends..look 'em in the eye."
    Health: "My body has no stop signs."
    Success:"Believe in your dream."
    Drugs: "Don't do them. If you play with a knife, you get a knife."
