Benny Urban is a German street snowboarder (Nitro's team page lists Hamburg, Germany as his hometown) who rides for Nitro Snowboards and Vans. He directed and rode in Vans' snowboard film 'You Are Inside Your Heart', shot entirely in Helsinki, Finland in January 2024 with Nils Arvidsson, Sebi Springeth, local guide Antti Jussila and photographer Matt Georges, a project chronicled in Method Mag's feature 'The Heart of Helsinki'. The film revisits Helsinki, long regarded as Europe's premier street-snowboarding destination, with Urban noting that becoming a father has reshaped how he manages risk while filming.
