Grilled by Pete Mullenbach. Facebook chat exclusive. We keep it official.

AGR:  Danny, what up bro!
Danny: Yo gangsta  Are you in Vegas?

AGR:  Na, man couldn’t get through airport security.
Danny:  Ok

AGR:  It’s cool though, it snowed here the past couple days so we rode powder for the first time since Christmas;  so much better than ice skating
Danny:  Hehe, true

AGR:  Are you busy? Is this a descent time for an interview?
Danny:  Yeah, I guess so.

AGR:  Right on. It’s mellow.   Are you home in Oslo now?
Danny:  Yeah, home for a couple of days, it’s nice, shitloads of snow up here now

AGR:  Are you ripping it or taking some time off? You just got back from a rail trip with some Russian dudes right?
Danny: Taking a coupe of days off, hurt my knee a bit on a jib with the crazy Russian crew but it’s getting all good, went riding today and it felt pretty good again.

AGR:  Good to hear man! What’s the deal with these Russian guys?
Danny:   The general Russian way off handling everyday situations for instance. They are pretty sure that a bribe is the right way to get around any problem. They speak with a funny Russian accent and always seemed pissed off when they talk to each other even though I don’t think they are.

AGR:  Haha, sounds entertaining.
Danny:  It truly is. Russians stepped up on my list of favorite nationalities.

AGR:  Hey, what was up with that Yellow Snow picture of you in Transworld with the goose? Was he actually giving you props or was he pissed you just pond skimmed his goose wife?

Or swan…

Danny:  It’s a swan; get your bird facts straight. Well, I’m not actually talking to the bird. Frode Sandbech wanted me to get closer to the swan but those fuckers are aggressive, so I said something like “But fuck, this piece of shit is hissing at me, I’m scared of it, how the hell should I get closer?” It’s right outside my door by the way.

AGR:  Aahahaha, that’s funny, I’d be scared too if some bird, perfect pecking size for my nuts, was hissing at me.  It totally looks like he’s ready to bite your nuts.

12:53pmDanny is offline.
12:54pmDanny is online.

Danny:  Sorry, the internet went all Swedish on me here.
AGR: No worries, damn Swedes...
Danny:  There we go.  Swedes; the bottom feeders of humanity.

AGR: Haha. So how is this new K2 Flatline Technology working, are you a fan? Kevin and Sean have been talking it up pretty good, sounds interesting.
Danny:  Is that the flat base thingy?

AGR:  Yeah… (What the majority of K2 pro’s ride)

Danny:  I don’t know much about it; I just ride it and love it.

AGR: Good enough. Were you at the European SIA type show in Muenchen (Munich)?
Danny:  I will go there this weekend it starts on Saturday. So I will make a brief appearance. The Tradeshows in Europe are more hardcore than the US ones, so it involves way more drinking… I’ll limit myself to one night and one morning.

AGR: Might be easier said than done… I remember last year at SIA you woke up one morning behind a coke machine. Care to comment?
Danny: Well…. I just remember I needed a safe place to sleep because I managed to lose my keys to our room. But I’m leaving for some shooting after my obligations there so it’s gonna be easier.

AGR: What safer place to lay your head than behind a big burly coke machine I always say.
Danny: Exactly, you guys have some pretty damn safe vending machines, that’s for sure.

AGR: It’s something we take pride in.
Danny: With good reason. I woke up unharmed the next morning. Unharmed and dusty

AGR: Perfect.  I’ve enjoyed this official first interview experience and I know you are an extremely busy athlete with a strict diet and workout regimen but before I let you get back to pumping iron, how does this AGoodReed interview rank to your ESPN Cribs visit?
Danny:  Well, the ESPN dudes actually visited me in Norway and did the Cribs. But you guys are obviously too important to do something like that, so you’ve done it over facebook chat.  So I guess I should feel way more privileged to get some of your precious time. You guys win.

Typos not intended, I’m just a bit tired, ha. Missed some words here and there, but you get the picture right?

AGR: We appreciate the kind words and don’t worry about the typos, I’ll clear them up. Lastly, what band are you listening to right now?
Danny: Oh, right now nothing, but I was listening to Satyricon before this interview.  I think I listen to some Sabbath after this interview is done.

AGR: Thanks again Danny!!
