With a win at the 2009 LG Snowboard World Cup, Janne Korpi showed the action sports world that he's someone to take notice of. He won the Half-Pipe World Cup in Saas-fee and he has been able to steal the spotlight from many of his better-known competitors, locking down his reputation as one of Finland’s best up-and-coming freestyle snowboarders. After several top rankings in 2006, Janne’s O’Neill team manager concluded, “The 2006 ranking list highlights Janne’s position as one of snowboarding’s next big things, and we’re stoked to have him on board. His determination to push snowboarding’s progression is second-to-none, and his passion for the sport fits right in with the rest of the team.”
