Bio

If Eero isn’t filming in the streets of Scandinavia or the mountains of Japan, he has you rolling on the floor laughing with his goofy antics.

The Finnish snowboarder– who prefers cruising the world, searching for deep powder or partaking in epic street snowboard sessions more than chasing contest hardware – is as entertaining as pro snowboarders come on film. His latest web series, “Cooking With Gas,” couples his funky, sparkling personality with some serious shredding in the streets of bustling cities like his native Helsinki, as well as exotic backcountry locations.

Although his on-screen presence has become his forte – first displayed in Fuel TV’s “Tracking Eero” series – he has plenty of event hardware to fill his awards display case to the brim: Winter X Slopestyle gold to best trick and big air victories around the world. Eero says his biggest accomplishment was inventing the Double BS Rodeo 1080. The guys is the complete package and he’s not afraid to tell you so.
