50 Years of Freeskiing Progression

Dive deep into the story of freestyle skiing, its origins, and how it continues to develop. In the fluid style of a top-to-bottom run that reaches across eras, take a thrilling ride through Generations of Freeskiing.

From hot-dogging and ski ballet to today’s slopestyle and urban tricks: with a lot of esprit and attention to detail, the 30-minute documentary “Generations of Freeskiing” revives the most iconic moments of freeskiing history.
Skiers such as Jon Olsson, Henrik Windstedt, Nick Goepper, Jesper Tjäder, Bene Mayr, Lisa Zimmermann and Viktoria Rebensburg pay homage to the greatest eras of freeskiing, appreciating yesterday’s heroes who pushed the sports with their desire of freedom and thus took it to the next level again and again. With archive footage from the last nearly 50 years, the movie illuminates the most important stages that have shaped freesking as it is today – in original equipment and clothing, including tight overalls, bright neon jackets, and XXXL oversize shirts.

i love looking at my dad's seasons photos from the 80s, , it looks so unreal with people just straight legged in the air and spinning

[brendanboyer]

This might be one of my all time favorite red bull productions. Nicely done, can't wait to watch the full video!

[bestoftiktok]

Awesome video guys! Greetings from Germany!

[booknoteswisdom]

Glad u mentioned the ballet part, required event, Bumps, Air, Ballet. Us "Face" rats had a hard time processing the reason. (no honorable mention to Plake) He was setting the pace out west. Free w/ style. Oh, and the motto was "short skies suck, " swinging some Atomic Red Sled 215's down some slush bumps.
