#StayHome with Halldór Helgason

S: Hello, Halldór, I hope you are doing fine, even everything happening right now. Are you currently in Iceland, and what is the situation in your home country?

Halldór: Yes, I am currently in Iceland. The situation is definitely not good just as all over in the world. But our healthcare system had been and is doing a great job! So now it's only on all of us to follow the rules restrictions, and do our part.

S: That's true, and no doubt about the Icelandic healthcare. What do you do to protect yourself and the people around you?

Halldór: Follow the rules and restrictions and wash my hands all the time.

S: ...And I would just add - use a lot of hand cream after all soaping and disinfection... What about your plans? Did the virus cancel any of them regarding snowboarding, traveling, and other activities you had in mind?

Halldór: I broke my ribs four weeks ago, so I missed out on a trip I was supposed to go with the Monster in Norway because of that. Then also a Park shooting in Mammoth with 32 crew, our classic snowboard festival in Iceland, AK Extreme, and some more film trips had to be canceled because of COVID-19.

S: Sounds like a lot to postpone, and I hope you are getting better! What are your five best snowboard movies to watch at home right now?

Halldór: My favorite snowboard movies that I found online:

Smell the glove - Grenade,

Snowboarders In Exile - FLF Films,

Project 6 - FLF films,

The Resistance - Mack Dawg Productions (my favorite btw),

Shake Down - Mack Dawg Productions.

Snowboard movies from the 90s

S: Nice! These movies will never get old. Do you have any other tips for activities to do at home?

Halldór: I have been doing some Yoga and workouts with my girlfriend at home using these two websites - Do Yoga With Me, and Fitness Blender.

Then I have been going wild on Netflix, Amazon Prime Playstation, and PornHub premium since that's free for everyone nowadays (if you didn't know, now you do).
