	CNN/SI - Lord of the Board
		Haakonsen, a 23-year-old Norwegian, and his ambivalence toward the Games might easily be dismissed were it not for one fact: He's the master blaster of the half-pipe, the freestyle event in snowboarding.
		Haakonsen is an engagingly modest and diffident fellow with a sharp sense of humor.
		Haakonsen needs one victory to qualify for the Olympics (unless Norway's coach decides to simply add him to the roster, which is permitted), and he says he may compete in a qualifying meet or two in January.

	Terje Haakonsen and Burton Snowboards Continue Their 14-Year Relationship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Terje has worked with Burton since he first exploded onto the snowboarding scene in the late eighties, and has remained an integral part of the growth of the company since first signing on in 1989.
		The first of a slew of Scandinavians to dominate the global snowboarding scene, Terje's trick innovations and amplitude in the halfpipe revolutionized snowboarding in the early nineties.
		Terje's mystique grew and so did his desire to keep snowboarding events purely designed for and by the riders themselves.

	Augusta Georgia: sports@ugusta: Snowboarder gives cold shoulder to Olympics 1/7/98
		FILE--Norwegian snowboarder Terje Haakonsen is pictured in the air during the halfpipe final of the Masters of ISF Snowboard World Pro Tour in Leysin, Switzerland, Jan. 14, 1996.
		Haakonsen, known as ``The Legend,'' is a three-time half-pipe world champion of the international snowboarding federation.
		Haakonsen said the IOC was wrong to have FIS, the international skiing federation, organize snowboarding as an Olympic event.

	OLYMPICS/NAGANO 1998
		In fact, Haakonsen cites nationalism as a reason for giving the Olympics the same salute he has thrown journalists, contest officials and all who encroach on snowboarding's outsider ethos.
		In the warm confines of Mount Baker's lodge, Terje Haakonsen steps onto a makeshift podium as the Golden Duct Tape is hung around his neck to the cheers of a couple hundred soaking patrons.
		Haakonsen grasps his plastic bag of award loot--gift certificates, lift tickets, stickers and assorted boarding goodies--and hurls it into the writhing mass of teenagers.

	Mountain Zone News: World Halfpipe Champion Terje Haakonsen to Boycott Olympics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Haakonsen, 23, had previously told the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the event organizers, are far removed from understanding the sport or its athletes and said "the big-wigs ride in limousines and stay in fancy hotels while the athletes live in barracks in the woods."
		The ISF has been the snowboard specific governing body that lost the chance to oversee the sport in the Olympics when the IOC appointed the older, until then ski-specific, International Ski Federation (FIS).
		FIS points are needed to win a spot in the Olympic program and Haakonsen has thus far refused to participate in FIS events.

		And the reason Haakonsen was frozen was that his girlfriend—a native Hawaiian with a cheery face, curly fl hair, and a professional surfer's hard body, whose name we won't mention but whom Haakonsen was obviously stuck on—was here.
		Today, right now, Haakonsen is stuck again, pinned momentarily in the status quo, in a space where he has more to lose than to gain from any change in his professional circumstances.
		As a legend, Haakonsen is expected to decimate the field; anything less jeopardizes his status.

		With the help of Burton pro rider Terje Haakonsen, widely considered to be the best snowboarder in the world, and John Gerndt (JG) a member of Burton's talented development team, the new FISH 56 is a welcome late edition to Burton's 2002 board lineup and is sure to feed hungry powder hounds this season.
		For inspiration, Burton's design team and Terje looked back to the early 80's when jeans had holes, mullets were chic, and snowboards were strictly designed for back yard powder snow.
		Through its rider driven development process, Burton developed the FISH 56, a board designed to be ridden three to six centimeters shorter, and by riders of all shapes and sizes looking for the ultimate powder machine.

		Terje Haakonsen, 23, is the master blaster of half-pipe snowboarding.
		In December, Haakonsen told SPORTS ILLUSTRATED that "snowboarding is about fresh tracks and carving powder and being yourself and not being judged by others.
		It's not about nationalism and politics and money." Reto Gurtner, president of the International Snowboarding Federation in Laax, Switzerland, says he "can really understand" Haakonsen's decision: "The Olympics are like going to the army." Many riders suspect that the Olympics pursued them as a revenue builder, a way of attracting a younger audience.
