Markus Malin
| Markus Malin, the cool and calm halfpipe slayer from Finland has been posting top ten results from almost every halfpipe event he has entered on the Swatch TTR World Tour. Markus ended his season 2008/2009 in the Swatch TTR World No 8 spot and has already stacked up some great results in early season 2009/2010, taking 4th place at the halfpipe formats of the 6Star O’Neill Evolution, 5th Place at the 6Star Burton European Open and 3rd place at the 5Star Canadian Open halpipe.His 2008/2009 season started off with a bang, when he placed 2nd at the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open and 3rd at the 5Star Burton Australian Open halfpipes. Heading to the Southern Hemisphere proved valuable for Malin, as it helped him to maintain a solid spot in the rankings throughout the season. He did not find the podium again until placing 2nd at the 5Star Nissan X-Trail Asian Open, however, this result, combined with consistent finishes, ensured his spot in the Swatch TTR Top 10.
This season Markus has finished his studies and is now focusing on the riding, so expect to see a lot more of Markus on the podium. Finland is currently producing some of the world’s best riders and Malin is no exception. |
