Tell Me I Belong

Profile and significance Christian Gander is part of the new wave of European street and park skiers whose impact comes more from dense, replayable film projects than from traditional contest podiums. Based in the Austrian scene and constantly on the road with a tight crew of like-minded riders, he has built a reputation as a technically gifted jib skier who is just as comfortable organizing a project as he is front and center in the final cut. From early season edits to fully fledged street movies, his name appears again and again in the credits of some of the most core urban projects coming out of Europe.... Read more on the Athlete page

Profile and significance Christian Moser is a Swiss freeski rider whose name has become synonymous with creative street segments and compact, rewatchable park edits.

Recent releases like “URLAUB” (2024) and “Known Territory” (2025), plus earlier parts such as “Urbanskistrasse,” have introduced him to a wider audience well beyond Switzerland....

Profile and significance Jakob Ebskamp is a Danish freeski athlete, filmmaker and event architect who has become a central figure in the new wave of European street and dryslope skiing. Based around Copenhagen and the broader Scandinavian scene, he splits his time between hitting urban handrails, building creative dryslope setups and directing films that travel quickly through the core freeski world. Rather than chasing World Cup points, his influence comes from projects that skiers actually rewatch: tightly edited street movies, community-driven events and dryslope contests that turn an artificial hill into one of the liveliest arenas in modern freeski....

Profile and significance Jonas Hofer is a Swiss-based park and street skier whose name has been gaining traction in the core freeski world through a steady flow of self-produced edits and tightly crafted urban segments. Splitting his time between the freestyle culture of the Bernese Oberland and trips to cities further afield, he has carved out a niche as a skier who does a bit of everything on a project: riding in front of the camera, shooting behind it and cutting the final edit. His work on Newschoolers under the “JonasGH” handle, alongside appearances in recent street films, has made him one of the emerging European riders to watch if you care about where urban skiing is headed....

Overview and significance Stockholm isn’t an alpine capital—it’s an urban freeski ecosystem. Within the city and its immediate suburbs you can stack night laps at Hammarbybacken, session a purpose-built park line at Väsjöbacken, ride the region’s longest local slope at Flottsbro, and mix in compact community hills like Ekholmsnäsbacken (Lidingö) and Ekebyhovsbacken (Ekerö). The headline moment that put this scene on broadcast maps was the FIS Alpine World Cup City Event—parallel slalom on Hammarbybacken—staged in multiple seasons, confirming the hill’s capability for world-class course building and production (FIS City Event)....

Overview and significance Sweden is a country-scale ski destination with a distinctive two-track appeal: reliable, well-lit parks and quick-lap resorts in the south-central mountains, and late-season freeride in Lapland under very long spring days. The national headline for big-resort variety and event pedigree is Åre, which has repeatedly hosted World Cup racing and the World Championships. Freestyle focus gravitates to purpose-built venues such as Kläppen Snowpark in Sälenfjällen and the park network across SkiStar’s Swedish resorts.... Read more on the Location page

Brand overview and significance Bungee Breakers is a Danish freeski and snowboard crew that has grown into a film collective, event organizer and emerging gear label. Launched around 2021 by a group of riders and creatives who wanted to “make something of our own,” the project started with exactly what the name suggests: a bungee for speed, a camera and a stack of urban spots. Early Bungee Breakers edits were shot on handycams through fisheye lenses, with a gritty, skate-inspired aesthetic that focused less on polish and more on the raw feel of a street session in cold Scandinavian cities....
