“What gave me the drive to do something else was that whenever I did something for a really long time, I would find ways to make it interesting again-change your stance, ride more pow, slowly getting into things that you wanted to do more.” - Burton Rider Mikkel Bang
From the slopestyle circuit as a Burton grom to filming standout backcountry parts, Mikkel always evolved his riding in his own way. Eight years after hanging up his competition bib, Mikkel went on the Natural Selection Tour in 2021 to switch things up and took home the Championship. Mikkel sat down to talk about how he keeps progressing after 20 years, and his hopes that events like the NST will continue Jake’s legacy of showing how snowboarding is for everyone.

About MY TURN:
You can tell a lot about a rider by the way they turn. Every one is a unique expression. The tracks we leave behind tell a story, saying, “This is how I do it.” But when we ride, we’re not always on a board, and our turns take many forms. MY TURN gives people from Burton’s community a blank canvas to take their turn, make their mark, and tell their story.
