Notable:
Bjorn is considered by many of his peers as one of snowboarding's most progressive riders. Some mistake his confidence as arrogance, but he's a focused, hard-working, hard-charging rider. Spent most of the '00/'01 season out with torn ligaments in his right ankle -- an injury documented in the Forum team video, "True Life."

On his recurring injury: "I was kind of stupid about it. After I'd heal up for six weeks, the first day I'd come back...I kind of overstepped my boundaries right away. It was hard to deal with. It was all a good lesson. It was kind of nice to have a little break from the scene, being a newlywed. I'm the kind of guy who wants to be on top, and I'm kind of a workaholic."
