Halldor is often considered "The Definition of Steez", for his unique array tricks and how easily he pulls them off. His Iconic trick, the Lobster Flip, is a double rodeo 1260, That's 2 flips with 3.5 rotations. Many say he is the hardest pro snowboarder, because of his savage street edits. He is not afraid to "Send It" and beefs it a lot, in the process. Helgason has also been asked to model for many major corporations but refused all of them. 'The day Halldór became a pro snowboarder the world lost an unimaginably glorious model - the feats he could have reached are inconceivable'.
