Fabian Wsolheim's Snowboarding Adventure in Finland

Rubbing Shoulders with a Seasoned Snowboarding Pro in Levi, Finland

Snowboarding isn’t just a sport to Fabio Solheim, made clear by his video shot in Levi, Finland, with its scenic sunsets and snow-covered pistes. This trip was a feel-gooder, a kind of enthusiasm he said, yet there was a lively lack of clarity. Solheim—and maybe his friends—looked amped up to have a “making a party chocolate barbie.” Whatever that means. This is the backdrop of Levi, a mecca for those who hit the slopes. Levi, Finland, is a destination known for its pristine alpine landscapes and well-groomed pistes. But Levi's appeal goes beyond its natural beauty and excellent snow conditions. It's also a hub for high-energy snowboarders who often come to test their red bull-like energy and the latest gear from brands like HEAD.

The REAL Deal

Snowboarding is a sport that combines elements of surfing and skating, which might be why it’s often defined by its raw, improvisational style. Doing it with Solheim feels more like a celebration than a sport. But fabricating fun takes energy. Levi is all about breathing world-class views and gear right next to the slopes, with local brands like HEAD waiting to outperform. Solheim gets around in style, but he’s not the only one who enjoys the slope. He’s shooting a video with his pals in Levi, Finland, a place known for its spectacular natural views and pistes for downhill skiers and snowboarders of all levels, according to the snowboarder. Levi, Finland, is a Siberia for thrill-seekers.

Catching Levi’s Energy

The atmosphere in Levi is the guy in overalls you pass on the trails in Levi, Finland, you know, the one riding a snowmobile, helmet and all. His gear is top-notch, and he rides like he invented the sport. This is skiing. Levi’s best feature is its in-planet views, perfect for a snowboarding video. The snowboarders are bundled up, riding in ATVs or snowmobiles through a stark, white landscape to jaw-dropping sunset vistas. Each video is a journey, offering shots of riders in action, gear, and the Levi area. The entire area gets a chilly glow from the setting sun, which turns the landscape into a winter wonderland. The rider is wearing a helmet, gloves, and a HEAD snowboard; he’s totally ready to drop in. Solheim takes advantage of the extreme blue light filtering through the clouds in the sunset. This is what a commercial for Levi could look like.

Locking on Level

The gear on display—helmets, goggles, and snowboards from HEAD—is all top-of-the-line. Solheim gets deep in Levi's blue light if he can switch into his best pose and get it just right. He has a bomb-shot of the sun setting behind the snow-covered hills.

Bomping Around

Think of phobia as a sport. Phobia is a sensation that comes from top speeds, with fear and exhilaration mixed together. Solheim is riding a snowmobile or ATV into the terrain, which makes the more extreme runs that much better. But he’s a seasoned snowboarder, and he often uses snowboarding terms or slang. In other words, he’s talking the lingo and flexing for the camera.

Flexing for Levi’s Viewing Pleasure

Levi’s views are serious business. Viewers want to feel like they’re there, and Levi wants to create a feeling of being part of the snowboard team. This is Levi. The sun is setting, and you’re on the snow on the slopes with snowboards and gear shining. Levi’s adventure is featured in the captions, making the best snowboarding references and uses. Solheim uses his phone for a boom microphone on the snowboard, and he takes photos with a real camera. He finds the sun behind the cliffs, gets the best shot of it, and then edits the shots together. He can sometimes get the perfect photo, but he takes several shots, making adjustments to capture the best frame, and he edits it in to the video.

Capturing Levi’s Best Goods

Levi, Finland, is a destination for hardcore, show-offy thrill-seeking snowboarding. Levi finds many of its best moments when it flexes all of its blue light, it’s how it stands out in the snowboarding world. Levi always finds the best angles and snapshots of this is true. Solheim owns a HEAD snowboard, and he’s not shy about showing it off. Solheim says, “I’ve got a snowboard right here, bro.” in front of it proudly. His footage shows him in full snowboarding gear, riding a HEAD snowboard in style. The HEAD snowboard is made for racing and park riding.
