Denmark | Active: 2015-present public record | Known for: Danish freestyle ski scene, DM slopestyle and big air, film trips with Danish crews | Current: ski-video and scene-linked rider
The Avoriaz park was bright in Easter sun when Denmark’s freestyle scene gathered in 2019. Rune Bach dropped into that French spring setup as part of a small Danish field where every landing mattered, the snow was softening, and the scoreboard still had room for a tall skier with style.
Bach’s clearest competition marker comes from the 2019 Danish Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding Championships in Avoriaz. The slopestyle final placed him sixth in Ski Men, listed as a One Open Sky team rider. The same event report identifies him on the big air podium, third in Ski Men with 79 points, and describes a cork 900 safety as the trick that secured the result.
Bach’s public record does not begin with that 2019 podium. Riders.dk’s 2015 Danish slopestyle coverage lists Rune Bach 12th in the men’s ski result with 49 points, behind Salik Larsen and ahead of Jakob Ebskamp. That earlier result places him in the Danish freestyle field several seasons before the Avoriaz week became the strongest public reference.
That matters because Denmark does not give freeskiers a normal mountain-town development path. A rider has to build progression through travel, indoor or artificial training, club trips, small domestic events, and long weeks in foreign parks. Bach’s record fits that pattern: not a World Cup résumé, but a repeated presence in the Danish slopestyle and big-air scene.
The 2019 One Open Sky report adds a useful equipment note. It says Bach rode Faction Candide 2.0 skis in the slopestyle event, while the big air write-up again frames him as one of the shop’s own riders. That gives his profile a practical gear-and-scene anchor rather than a vague sponsor claim.
In Danish freeskiing, shop support can be more important than it looks from outside. It helps connect riders to equipment, events, travel and a small national crew that often shares the same trips. Bach’s One Open Sky connection belongs in that context: not as a global factory-team story, but as part of the local support structure behind Danish freestyle skiing.
Riders.dk’s February 2019 report on a Danish ski film places Bach in Finland with Jakob Ebskamp and Mikkel Hjort-Pedersen behind production. The article describes Jakob and Mikkel recruiting their close friends Rune Bach and Simon Storgaard for the trip, with the group working hard for each clip despite injuries and damaged equipment.
That report also names the kind of material they were chasing: handrails, wallrides and city-backcountry lines. Those words are important for Bach’s profile. They move him beyond a contest-only identity and into the Danish creative lane, where a skier has to make urban features, compact snow coverage and travel logistics work on camera.
Another Riders.dk article places Bach in a larger Norwegian filmshoot before the Avoriaz DM week. The crew included Simon Storgaard, Rune Bach, Andreas Secher, Jakob Ebskamp, Frederik Højgaard and Thomas Trads, with Anton Lisner joining as an extra cameraman and Mikkel Hjort-Pedersen capturing tricks from another angle.
That crew list is one of the best ways to frame Bach. He sits inside a Danish freeski cluster where riders, filmers and organizers repeatedly overlap. Some names went further into FIS records, some into Bungee Breakers and event culture, and others stayed closer to local projects. Bach’s public footprint is strongest where those lines cross.
Bungee Breakers gives Bach a later connection to the modern Danish and Scandinavian street-film ecosystem. The Newschoolers listing for “SEE YOU SOON,” published in 2023, names Rune Bach among the starring riders and also lists him in the additional cinematography credits.
That dual credit is useful. It suggests Bach was not only a skier appearing in front of the lens, but also part of the production effort around the project. For a small scene, that distinction matters. Films are rarely made by separate professional departments; the same people ski, shovel, film, drive, organize, edit feedback, and keep the crew moving.
The verified record supports a park, big-air and street-adjacent profile. Bach has documented slopestyle and big-air results, a reported cork 900 safety, film-trip credits, urban-feature context and later Bungee Breakers visibility. The technical language should stay around jumps, rotations, grabs, handrails, wallrides, speed management and camera-ready feature choice.
No verified FIS World Cup, X Games, Olympic or major international podium record was found under Rune Bach’s name. That boundary should stay clear. His value is not in pretending he was a global contest headliner. His value is in showing how a Danish freeski rider can sit between national competition, shop-supported riding, film trips and the crew-based culture that kept Denmark’s freestyle scene visible.
A 2018 Riders.dk interview with Simon Storgaard singled out Rune Bach and Andreas Secher among Denmark’s most inspired riders, while also mentioning Jakob Ebskamp and Jakob Ahlers as names to watch. That kind of peer recognition is not the same as a medal, but it helps show Bach’s place inside the scene at the time.
The strongest skipowd.tv angle is therefore precise: Rune Bach is a Danish freeski rider with a documented DM slopestyle history, a 2019 Danish big-air podium, One Open Sky team context, Faction equipment reference, filmshoot appearances in Finland and Norway, and later Bungee Breakers credits. Future updates should only add sponsors, full film parts or competition results when they are directly verifiable.
