Whether he is mountain-climbing and snowboarding down the country’s highest peaks in western Mongolia, biking down rugged mountains, or rock climbing a secluded wall in a forest in central Mongolia, you can usually spot him bringing his camera equipment and drone. He decided to become a filmmaker after getting inspired on several trips when he guided international teams of adventure travel filmmakers. His first two films Half Eye (2018) and White Stupa (2019) shows challenges faced and overcame during his snowboarding adventures at the Altai Mountains, the highest peaks of Mongolia towering over 4,000 meters above sea level. His third film, 24HOURS/5 (2020) shows him and his team mountain climbing up to the highest five summits of the Altai Mountains within 24 hours. His fourth film, Freedom of the Wheel (2021) is about biking down rugged slopes of the Altai Mountains. Tino has participated in many snowboarding competitions and won many awards.
