Amongst the riders who skipped the pond in search of better hills, Backstrom developed his smooth style on rails in his homeland of Finland before blowing up backcountry jumps world-wide. A jump and jib master with more energy than anyone you’ve ever meet, Iikka continues to impress through his video parts and countless magazine spreads.

When Devun Walsh calls and says he's working on a web series and movie with a group of his friends, well you get off your ass and answer the phone. Devun, along with Iikka Backstrom, Ryan Tiene, Benji Ritchie, Eero Niemela, and part time snowboardermag video commentator Dustin Craven are all working together on a series dropping this fall called "Get Outta Town". By the looks of this teaser the series is gonna be bad ass with personality, gnarly spots and production value that is sure to separate it from the rest of the video pack. If the "Get Outta Town" series can't make you want to shred than we don't know what will.

See it first at the 2012 Hot Dawgz & Hand Rails event at Bear Mountain, CA on Saturday, September 22nd, or in its entirety online at snowboardermag.com after our live webcast of the HD&HR contest that same day.
