The Event That Is Redefining Ski Culture

We headed to Innsbruck, Austria to document and participate in the new freeskiing competition called The Jib League. As a long time freeskier it's exciting to see a new competition format pop up that can account for the self expression and creativity that makes freesking so special. This is something that I think is currently missing in the competition space. I think its important that we support these initiatives when skiers from our community create them. This not only helps the next generation have a better community but also inspires more people to dedicate there time and energy into creating things for the freeskiing community.
We are still going with ski videos! We are currently creating a video from The Nines hopefully releasing in the next 10 days. Like & subscribe to not miss a new video.

[@elsadubos5601]

just the fact that participants are also judges changes the whole competition mindset

[@AlexHackelNetwork]

I agree rider judged is super sick!

[@_matias_s7017]

I love how Ferdi realized that now he is one of the pro skiers who can make a change in freestyle skiing and he did it❤

[@AlexHackelNetwork]

Ferdi is a boss!

[@John-jy8og]

I like this idea. Skiing is about personal style and modern freestyle feels robotic and sterile. Extremely high caliber talent but no room for expression.

[@AlexHackelNetwork]

yeah so nice with room for more expression.

[@matthewbandell4911]

This is what the skiing world has needed for years. Thankfully it’s finally here

[@willhartford8676]

Reminds me of a comp I watched years ago on Outside TV. A bunch of riders went out in the backcountry for a weekend, rode lines all day and then collectively voted on the winners at the end. Forget what it was called but this is such an exciting opportunity to show style and creativity

[@ninjasheeps3690]

I think this should've been the obvious better way to hold these events since when you watch someone you dont just watch them do one trick and count the number of rotations and how they grab and give them a score you just watch what they do and think damn, that looks cool probably one of the best trick-nerds out there

[@Secretlyanothername]

I love this. Expression, community. Everything that a creative sport should be

[@lowfreekey]

Got so many chills, the synergy between style and soundtrack is beautiful. Subbed

[@lowfreekey]

Reminded me of Alan Wooldridge's book. "Aristocracy of talent" If only all competition could have such a meritocratic approach, the world would be a very different place.

[@KamielDV2]

Give back the sports to the people! This is fantastic!
There's no modern sport which isn't ruined by corporations with financial incentives over all else. These guys really care for what they do and it show. This is already looking better than the X games have ever

[@hagluxx5331]

Everything is so perfect. Its all so clean and smooth compared to what they are doing in the Xgames

[@RubenEvens]

How cool is this. Take it back to the riders! IT has this 2000 vibe, this video.

[@AlexHackelNetwork]

I agree!

[@seb.gardner]

loved the transition from Remco talking about the battleship into that backslide jheez

[@Skimanguy]

So sick!! Jib League Let's us freeskiers decide our own future!! :D

[@1000skis]

This is what freeskiing needs!

[@wirmiter]

This is a genius way to create a competition! I love it!

[@mauritsweerts9905]

Innsbruck looks fire💥

[@AlexHackelNetwork]

It is!!

[@VXBAKER]

We need this in skateboarding

[@ryansperring6968]

[@amiddleagedparkrat]

As a futurist, I love where your heads at.
As an older head- who stopped riding park in 02’ at the age of 14 - I’m blown away by how far the sport has progressed since then.
What was considered massive at the X Games back then is what I see the teens stomping routinely w/ ease while pros like yourself have advanced the sport to 2-3x where it was even two decades ago.

[@AlexHackelNetwork]

I agree, the progression of the sport is super insane/inspiring and I am sure that this next generation is going to blow past any expectation that we have with ease, Looking foward to seeing it.

[@amiddleagedparkrat]

@@AlexHackelNetwork yeah, it’ll be fun to watch, and it’ll be fun to watch you guys help set the stage for that evolution of the sport. Wish you all the best in your future ✌️

[@AlexHackelNetwork]

There is women at the event who compete, at the moment though everyone competes in one catagory and there is not a separate men's and women's category

Very interesting! How long do you think it'll take a 39 y/o to go from snow plow to competing here? JK! thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the support!

hi

Hello 😊

@@AlexHackelNetwork doing good

[@touge242]

figure skating had the same issue. Noone cares about figure skating "competitions", people watch the exhibition

[@clarkh3314]

idk why but the ski poles ruin it for me. most of all they look ugly in the air. secondly, as someone who skateboarded i can't imagine using my hands.
