Check out Joni Makinen's part from Viva Sessions in 1999. Joni was crushing it back then, slaying everything in the backcountry with his smooth style and holding his grabs FOREVER. He led the charge and put Finland on the international spotlight, paving the way and opening the door to the next generation of flying Finns, including Joni Malmi, Jussi Oksanen and Heikki Sorsa. Joni is still crushing it these days, although he has taken a step back from riding, he is still snowed under everyday at work. He is the CAPiTA, Union and Coal European Marketing Coordinator. How many of you kids out there have a boss who still rides better than you? Yep, that's what we thought.
