Andreas Secher
Denmark | Active: 2016-present public record | Known for: DM Big Air bronze, Mammoth seasons, Natural Ice, Ferda, Danish crew skiing | Current: Danish freeski scene rider
Ringkollen Fog And A Switch Cork 720
The Ringkollen jump sat under Norwegian spring weather, with fog moving around the landing and Danish riders waiting for speed. Andreas Secher came into the 2016 DM Big Air as a debutant, then put down a switch cork 720 and left with third place.
That podium is the strongest official marker in Secher’s public ski record. Riders.dk listed the men’s ski Big Air podium as Thomas Trads first, Lasse Svendsen second and Secher third. The same report described Svendsen’s cork 900 and Secher’s switch cork 720 as the tricks that secured the lower podium spots. For a Danish freeskier in only his second serious park season, that result gave him a clear place in the national scene.
Second Season, First Real Contest
Secher’s pre-event interview makes the result more interesting. Before the 2016 Freestyle DM, he told Riders.dk that it was his first ski competition and that he had only been in his second season of focused park skiing. Before that, he had mainly ridden park on family ski holidays.
His preparation was already serious. He said he had skied almost every day since December 8 and had spent the winter in Mammoth, California, for the second year in a row. The combination is unusual: a late-starting Danish park skier, but one training daily at one of the strongest freestyle mountains in North America before returning home just days before the championship.
Mammoth Became The Real Classroom
Mammoth Mountain is the clearest location in Secher’s story. In his 2016 Riders.dk interview, he described the California resort as a second home and planned another long stay there with Danish riders including Jakob Ebskamp, Rune Bach and Jakob Ahlers. He expected roughly four and a half months on snow, from mid-winter until the final slushy kickers and tubes disappeared.
That detail explains his development better than a normal Danish competition result. Denmark has no alpine park pipeline comparable to Norway, Switzerland, Austria or the United States. For Secher, progression meant leaving home, living around a resort, repeating jump laps, using Mammoth’s terrain parks and learning from a small Danish crew chasing the same skills.
Trampoline Air Before Ski Air
Secher’s trick development also came from gymnastics and trampoline. In his 2016 Freestyle DM interview, Riders.dk noted that he was a former spring gymnast. Secher said trampoline experience helped him understand competition pressure and that he knew what it took when things had to count.
That background is visible in the tricks he discussed. He talked about double frontflips, double backflips and double corks, while also explaining the risk of trying them on a jump that was close to too small. The public record does not support inventing a full trick list, but it clearly supports one technical frame: Secher’s skiing was built around air awareness, inversion comfort, big jumps and the transfer from trampoline movement to snow.
Natural Ice And The BC BOIS Winter
“Natural Ice” is the most important film reference attached to Secher’s name. Riders.dk described the 2017 project as a Danish freeski film about five riders spending a season in Mammoth: Rune Bach, Jakob Ahlers, Simon Storgaard, Andreas Secher and Jakob Ebskamp. Each of the five had his own part, with a friends section added around the wider BC BOIS crew.
The project was not built like a polished commercial film. Danish coverage framed it as low-budget, personal and easy for Danish skiers to relate to. The crew went to California for slushy park laps, then dealt with heavy winter storms, closed-mountain days and powder detours. That gives Secher’s profile a film-and-crew layer beyond the 2016 Big Air podium.
Thomas Trads, Doubles And The Danish Level
The 2016-2019 Danish freestyle window placed Secher near riders pushing the country’s jump level. Thomas Trads was already the reference point at the 2016 DM, and Secher himself named Trads as the men’s favorite before the event. The podium proved that hierarchy: Trads won, but Secher still reached the box in his debut.
That context matters because Danish freeskiing is not deep enough to hide behind hundreds of competitors. The small field makes every named rider more visible, but it also exposes the limits quickly. Secher’s bronze belongs in that setting: not a world-level medal, but a real national result during a period when Danish park skiing was trying to bring doubles, larger rotations and stronger film projects into the same scene.
Ferda And The Wider Danish Film Map
Secher appears again in “Ferda,” the 2019 Danish ski and snowboard film by Jakob Ebskamp and Mikkel Hjort-Pedersen. Riders.dk described the film as a 40-minute project shot in Switzerland, France, Finland, Norway and Chile, with riders including Simon Storgaard, Rune Bach, Lasse Lehwald, Thomas Trads, Frederik Højgaard, Andreas Secher, Joachim Clausen Hansen, Jakob Ahlers and the filmmakers themselves.
That lineup places Secher inside a bigger Danish crew map. “Natural Ice” was focused on Mammoth and the BC BOIS winter. “Ferda” expanded the geography and the cast, turning Danish freeskiing into a travel-based film culture. For Secher, that means his profile should not be written as competition-only. His public record is strongest where national contest results and crew films overlap.
Bungee Breakers And The Later Clip Trail
A later public credit connects Secher to the Bungee Breakers video ecosystem. Newschoolers lists “UncMaxxing (GMP Adelboden)” with Mathias Skaarup as editor and skiers Simon Storgaard, Jakob Ebskamp, Scum of Skiing and Andreas Secher. The description places the session at Gran Masta Park in Adelboden.
That credit keeps Secher connected to the modern Danish and European crew-video world, even if the source does not provide a detailed part or trick breakdown. It shows him as part of the same loose network that carried Danish freeskiing from Mammoth projects into street, park and crew releases across Europe. The article should use that as a scene connection, not inflate it into a major film career without more evidence.
The Andreas Secher Lane
No verified FIS World Cup, Olympic, X Games or major international podium record was found under Andreas Secher’s name. That boundary should stay clear. His profile is not a global contest résumé; it is a Danish park-and-film profile built from one national Big Air podium, Mammoth training seasons, trampoline-based air awareness and repeated crew-film appearances.
The strongest skipowd.tv angle is precise: Andreas Secher is a Danish freeskier who used Mammoth as a progression base, reached the 2016 DM Big Air podium with a switch cork 720, appeared in “Natural Ice” and “Ferda,” and later stayed visible through Bungee Breakers-linked park credits. Future updates should only add sponsors, current status or new tricks when they are directly verifiable.
