Killing Machine has existed as a band since 9/11 2001 and has remained just as hardcore ever since. Although their name represents bad-image-hardcore-stuff, KM turned into a military-shot-out-band supporting the war AGAINST terrorism. Today, after 8 years of of solid heavy load music, doing about a 1000 gigs all over the world, the band has turned into a bunch of older musicians stuck in a smoky studio in eastern Norway. But we always come back. This year with a brand new 6Star song made by TAC`s CEO, Henning Andersen, supported by Techrider`s Thomas North, “On Tour Again”. Hope you guys enjoy it. See you back at The Arctic Challenge in Oslo! (if you can’t be there – watch the webcast)

Looking over the Oslo township and beautiful harbour the Holmenkollen Arena has an all new inspiring view, it’s called the Oakley Arctic Challenge. 10.2 metres of pure transition perfection. The SIX(6) STAR Swatch TTR event is shaping up to be a highlight on the tour once again.

After 16 days of construction, we caught up with the man in charge Claes Högström as he nears completion of the quarter pipe where we may just see that magic 10m mark broken if not smashed out of the ball park.

Coming up soon on the TTR Tour is the SIX(6)STAR Oakley Arctic Challenge. Last season, Terje Haakonsen broke the world record, hitting 9.8m, which still stands to this day. Recently however, Terje made the record books again, claiming the title of “Best commercial appearance by an action sports athlete.” Nothing can really prepare you for this, so it’s probably best to let this speak for itself:
