Sweden | Active: 2017-present public record | Known for: Verbier Freeride Week Juniors, Nendaz Freeride, Gazo2042 | Current: documented Gazolina street video appearance
Jesper Folkesson is a Swedish skier whose verified public record connects junior freeride competition with a newer street-skiing video credit. Freeride World Tour lists him in Ski Men, Sweden, with a 2020 FWT Qualifier result at Nendaz Freeride. Earlier, he placed third in Ski Men at Verbier Freeride Week Juniors 2017, behind Hugo Hoff and Hugo Cameron, giving his profile a confirmed natural-terrain base before the later Gazolina appearance.
His clearest current freeski video marker is Gazo2042 (2025), the third Gazolina street video, presented through Arsenic and published by Downdays and skipowd.tv. The project was filmed in the United States, Norway, and Switzerland, with skiing by Leonard Siegenthaler, Thomas Gaudin, Basile Genevay, Albie Bigler, and Jesper Folkesson. That setting places Folkesson inside a low-fi European street-skiing crew environment built around natural speed, improvised spots, rails, urban features, and filmed travel rather than formal judging.
For skipowd.tv, Jesper Folkesson should be categorized as a minimally documented Swedish freeride / street profile with two confirmed competition markers and one confirmed crew-film credit. The safest tags are Sweden, Verbier Freeride Week Juniors, Nendaz Freeride, FWT Qualifier, Gazo2042, Gazolina, Arsenic Anywhere, Norway, Switzerland, USA, street skiing, freeride skiing, rails, natural speed, and European crew filming.
