Get yourself a big ol' bucket of popcorn and gather around for a special late night Sunday Cinema! Put your kids to bed because this flick is Rated Rawesome, due to aggressive brain-melting content. Here's an online sneak premiere of the Random Bastards' spotbuster movie "Daggers"! The RB has swollen to a huge gang of international killers this season, including Jocke Rasmussen, Jonathan Lindhe, Dylan Gamache, Hans Åhlund, Kas Lemmens, Felix Engström, Jeremy Cloutier, Anton Gun, Cees Wille, Nejc Ferjan, Zach Rawles, Clemens Schattschnieder, Peter Ström, Klas Beyer, Viktor Wiberg, Erik Karlsson, Marcus Rand, Cam Pierce, Jani Sorasalmi, Travis NeuenhausJ & friends. Witness the band stab up everything in their paths then read the little discussion we had with Hans Ahlund, Eric Hörstedt & Dennis Ylikangas about the hardcore pornography you just watched.
Did you guys refer to your snowboards as "daggers" all season long?
Hans: Well, I see them as daggers rather than shred sticks, but we tried to get sharp tricks cause our edges are dull as fuck.
So the Random Bastards are not just a bunch of Swedes from up north anymore, you guys went full international this year. How many dudes are in this movie? What are the requirements for being a Random Bastard?
Erik: People always ask but we never count. You know if you are a Random Bastard!
Hans: Yeah man, we are working on world domination!! It all started with a group of friends and now that people are getting older, some of us have moved on to other things in life while others are stepping up the game, hard! It's just the normal progression, just like the Pirates did earlier, for example. We've had international guys in the flick now for several years, and this year it's even more, more than half our riders are non-Swedish. But we definitely know our roots and want stick to those as well. The requirements to be a Bastard are that you need to be a soul shredder with a couple of kills under your belt and the ghetto tears to show for it. You also have to pass the Random Bastards freshman test and it's not easy! 
Did anyone have problem with being called a Random Bastard? Is "bastard" even a viable insult in this day and age?
Erik: I would think of it as a compliment, for sure! I don't like the ACAB expression however, as we'd rather not be associated with the police. They should come up with a better twist to that one! How about just FTP? Works for us nerds too...
Hans: Yeah man, we wear the title with pride. The local police in Umeå tried to shut us down and claimed we are bunch of illegal bastards, but what do they know? Actually, they are totally right!
You guys always step it up on the visuals. Who does all the graphics and animations?
Erik: Marc UÅ (www.marcpma.com) has been doing our graphics since day one, he started in like 2003 and is still going strong. I don't think there would be a Random Bastards without him. On the motion graphics side we're blessed to work with Claes Lindh (www.claeslind.com), he gives life to Marc's crazy stills. So hyped they are in the crew!
Hans: Claes does animation for H&M and some car brands, so he knows what's up!
Did the riders pick their own music?
Erik: Our editors always keep it kind of a secret from the riders, and it's a surprise. Our editors in the past like Lindhe and Kuske were like that. But you gotta love it!
Hans: Yeah, we had some requests and some are just the editor's choice.
Was Anton Gunnarsson allowed to bring his gun or did he have to use a dagger as well?
Hans: Well, we kill shit on a daily basis and the weapon of choice doesn't matter that much. Next year's flick will be called Sledge Hammer!
Did the Turbo Winch come with the package when the two Dutchies (Kas + Cees) joined the crew?
Hans: Yeah kinda, they came up to Sweden on several occasions. Cees even got some jump shots at the end of the season with no highbacks! Maybe that's why he knocked himself out as well? They are both bosses!
I see a brick wall that Karlsson is transferring to looks kind of icy? Did you guys literally spray the walls with water?
Hans: I'm not sure, but I think he just pissed on it a lot.
What would you call that grab that Cam Pierce does on his back one at Windell's? I love that shot…
Hans: We love that grab as well, let's just call it the love grab. "Japanese Airlines" could be another suggestion for the grab name.
Is that actually Felix's bike?
Erik: In true UÅ spirit, he kinda stole it! Umeå is considered the bike-stealing capital of Sweden!
Hans: No, it's Femmi's bike, she's that chick on the sofa in the first tour vid. 
You got some big dudes on the crew between Felix, Erik, Nejc, Cees… Do you have find bigger spots so they don't look so tiny?
Erik: I can't tell you but you'd be surprised what VFX and motion graphics can do these days.
What kind of tech shit did you guys use to film, any drones or zip lines?
Erik: Check Hans' part out, we only use reindeers... It's the Dirty North, yo!
Where are all the tapes with Hans' old parts kept?
Hans: They are lurking around my place, waiting to be released some time this winter! We might even have a surprise for you to see what tricks I was doing before most of you even started to ride.
Looks like Hans is riding some pow. At his age isn't it time for him to be doing more of the spiritual big mountain boarding or is it street for life?
Erik: Hans, like myself, is only 17-years old in spirit, so I think that's the thing.
Hans: I'm a soul shredder at heart and getting more and more connected with the pow. I got lots of Contour shots so we'll be making an edit of me and Peter Ström when I was down at his place in Verbier for about 2 weeks last winter. It was like going to heaven, Nirvana or whatever you want call it! But I'm definitely street for life! The streets need me and I need the streets...
If someone crashes into a light or a flash, is it the rider's fault or the filmer/photographer who put it there?
Hans: It is definitely the photographer's fault, don't leave your shit out there, especially like Anthony Tian did when he left the spot for 30 minutes or so when I was hitting this line. When I finally got the line I ended up crashing into the flash!
How the hell did you get Peter Ström in there? Is that guy immortal?
Hans: Peter Ström is the the realest soul shredder out there! He is 40 years + and fucking killing it! Backside 5 over that road gap is killer. Unfortunately, he broke both his ankles a couple of weeks later which put an end to his season, but something tells me he will be back stronger than ever!
What is that giant cement half-moon wallride spot?
Hans: I thought of hitting that spot for several years but didn't have a chance in hell of getting up there before. The Turbo Winch made it possible now though, that thing is so powerful that it was tough to figure out the speed, cause I was going so fast! It's the coolest spot though. It's like a giant flying tray that doesn't make any sense at all, or why it's there. Urban architectural exploration at its best. I'll do a rebate on that spot this winter, I have some unfinished business there.
Were the Ninja Turtles okay with being interrupted when Dylan Gamache rode out into their sewer lair?
Erik: Where the scene is cut there's actually a 20-minute scene of him having pizza with them and getting acupuncture from Splinter. It'll be dropping soon as a Method Mag exclusive!
Anyone in the crew seem to ride at contest better than on filming the spot or does everyone ride better with their homies in peace?
Dennis: Jonte and Felix are killers in the streets but at the contests they seem to be more imprtant things than send it into to the finals!
When Jonte Lindhe gets pissed what is the only thing that will make him happy?
Dennis: Haha, the best thing for him when he is pissed that he stomps the trick.
What is up with that last part of the movie, is it like a RB Greatest Hits? Are those your favorite shots from everyone?
Hans: Yeah, kinda, and it's also a good way to sum up what your eyes just witnessed.
Skull & Dagger or just a hoop?
Hans: Neither, just the dagger.
