Torstein didn't earn a spot. I wish he'd of been invited...but he probably would have looked a lot like McMorris out there. I love the guy, he's hilarious...but he's not exactly known for thrashing the deep stuff.

Here's the write up on who got invited. It was mainly a "who's who" of back country, with some comp riders mixed in.

thanks for the link to the full program.

Great job to all the riders and Red Bull, solid work.

Torstien is a pretty good pow rider. I don't know how good he would've done in this style back country though.

No way,he would've done like McMorris. He put out lots of video parts with backcountry/pow in it. Certainly not as good as all the other legends but definitely not a park guy like McMorris.

I feel like he may have struggled on the top part of the course though. He doesn't really hit natural features in the back country. None that are loaded with pow at least. Only time will tell.

I thought he wasn't there because of Rockstar (his sponsor). And yeah, he not only knows how to ride pow, but landed 1st triple cork in backcountry: Torstein: 1st Backcountry Triple Cork - Sayer's Blog - push.ca In the other hand, the mountain in Red Bull Supernatural was way too steep for not real backcountry riders.
