My First Freeride Ski Competition & What I Learned | Vlog

- First of all turn on subtitles. In this video, I share the whole experience of what it was like to do my first freeride competition. I show you how we where scouting lines, thinking about my strategy to keep up with the other young and gnarly competitors. Despite taking it sort of easy I managed to score high enough to get the 7th place despite backslapping in my first run. The main reason I made this video is to show how much fun it can be to join and go outside of your comfort zone even if the lines you see in this video is nothing compared to what they ski in the freeride world tour. You gotta start somewhere right? :P
Key lessons learned from competing:
- Easy to be cocky when scouting from the bottom. Expect shit to get rather scary standing ontop of your line.
- Drops are bigger than you think and the landings might be flatter than it looks from the bottom.
- Scout drops from as many angles as you can. Bottom, side, top.
- Ski within your limits and build your confidence slowly and ski harder at your 2nd and 3rd comp with more confidence.
- 30% of the competitors crashed 1 of their 2 runs = overestimated there skills. So if you stand your 2 runs you can easily beat the bottom 30%

Dude! I missed ur videos so much😂 I would really appreciate if u would make videos more often, I understand if ur busy and stuff, but still😉
Thank you so much :) Yes I would like to make more videos too but I put a lot of effort and love into all of them leading me to rather make them good than many.
@@StompItTutorials it's amazing you can speak more than one language
@@leowennstig1567 something 🤔
@@leowennstig1567 ok but most Americans can only speak english lolol. it was a compliment anyways. His english IS really good for not being a native speaker.
Anyone who doesn't ski cannot understand the adrenaline rush from dropping off cliffs. Or just getting some air in general. I love it!
Just a note turn on subtitles
From a fellow ski instructor in squaw Valley Lake Tahoe California. I really appreciate the videos especially the story of you and your brother. Great entertainment for getting through these times when our mountain has closed due to the virus.
i love squaw
Thanks for sharing your experience. Helping folks realize it’s never about perfect it’s about friends, family, fun AND getting better..... you never stop getting better in skiing! Nice to hear from someone who’s stepping out of their comfort zone but still being smart about pushing their limits.
huge respect for doing 1st comp. keep them coming , improving and making us better too !!!
Love this vid. You make advanced skiing so accessible and fun. Your passion for improvement and pushing your personal limits (within reason and ability) is infectious. As an "old" guy I really appreciate that I can still go out there and grow my skiing too. I learn so much from all your videos. Thanks.
I love this! Congrats on your first freeride competition, keep it up! Great vlog! Kom igen Jens!
Really enjoyed this content. Great inside look at local competition. Maybe My level is closer than I think to enter a competition like this.
Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Härligt att få höra lite svenska på kanalen!
Gött du uppskattar det.
@@StompItTutorials Jag hade ingen aning att du var svenne
Jens, some unsolicited advice (ref. 11:19), if I may; build up your core lower core and leg strength (quadriceps, hip flexors, etc.) and you will have better tucks throughout your jumps and more solid/stable landings, taking your skiing to the next level. Appreciate you taking the time to produce some genuinely great content. Congratulations also on your first comp! Now please enjoy some beers and the offseason in general. Cheers.
Good advice! Ski to the conditions and just stay on balance and in control.
Well done and great spirit -- grab your crew and just head out! Love your style and approach.
7th place!!! That's so sick congrats man:)
Amazing video! keep up the good work!!!!
Great work Jens!
Awesome videos! Awesome skiing.. you are awesome man!
Good first comp and your cousin absolutely killed it!
Yea he´s young and gnarly :P
Can’t wait to see other big mountain videos like this!
Good! Will try to make something.
Any advice for getting better or more confident in planning lines? It always looks so radically different from above I don’t trust (or sometimes can no longer see) the landmarks I picked out from below.
Take pictures from the bottom, and at every point where you get a new perspective. this will allow you to look for landmarks much easier.
18:05
Some pro riders also use google earth. You can spin the perspective.
cool!
usually i just send it, then plan my line.. lol
lov" it!
Would really enjoy to see more vids like this.Where you just ski it was really a nice video
Thank you. I might do a bit more of it but focus will always be tutorials.
Som svensk var det kul att höra dig på svenska! Älskade videon! Hoppas du kör liknande tävlingar i framtiden!
Looks beautiful! Love flying into Luleå. Min mamma är från Piteå!
Nice line!!!!.....congratulation!!!.
Good stuff😎
sick dude
Nice Jens , one question u ride in the Summer inline on Rampes ?
Uppfriskande att höra lite norrländska på kanalen
Thank you!
Only if there was mountains like these in Finland
Jep
Im one yr late im rn at ylläs on a skiing trip
@@joonaa169 ei taia sielläkää olla tällasia
like for sure!
Oh man, I was 100% hoping you would hit that hip on your left at 19:57...
👍
sick, dude! what helmet do you wear ?
Thank you! :) Öhm it's a Atomic Revent+ I think :)
What bindings were you using on the Chetlers and how to the skis perform in that snow?
Hi have a nice day 👋
JAA, Fatta om jag faktist träffar dig någon gång.. Jag har stugga där :)
Can anyone explain how these competitions work? As a freestyle skier i dont really understand what constitutes a good line other than the obvious cleanliness of the jumps/drops. If you're not doing tricks then how do they decide who skied the best?? to me it just looks like regular off-piste skiing, how do u do a better run than someone else if you don't fall over etc. ???

The link I just posted is from the free ride world tour - they explain it
I had a coach explain it to me a while back that generally the less snow under your feet the higher your score, that means navigating more technical rock sections or big airs will give you a good score.
Vilka kingar ni ä
Swiss gang
gud, nej, helvette
I tried some freeride this winter for the first time thinking i could do it... didnt look so steep from the bottom until i got up there.
First jump revealed a huge sink hole where the landing area was, landed just a meter from it. I first saw it when i was already in the air.
Next:
Did not see a drop coming because it was so steep. Plan your routes good, very good! Before skiing, and know your limits. I was sure i was going to die but survived somehow. That was my last run this winter^-^ Next time its a more friendly route for me i hope
Im from Luleå:)
Hey what is the name of this area? Super cool terrain!
Great vlog, did alex get disqualified?
Yes Erik got disqualified :(
FWT next!
That is a whole other level :S I will pass on that.
tough conditions
fucking sick
How do you land when u drop big? Do you bend your knees, land on your heels, or what do you do?
Try to land so that all parts of the ski touch the ground at the same time. If you should land a bit back seated or suck it up a bit with your back depends on the snow conditions, but you should mostly take it with your knees. Just make sure to fully extend before landing and stay focused.
Practice doing a ton of power cleans at the gym with dumbells. Landing a big drop is pretty much the same mechanics. Keep your eyes up, keep your core engaged and consciously feel your body absorb the forces of the landing. The biggest thing is to keep your core engaged, its your abs that keep your body from flopping a bad way resulting in a ragdoll.
Are those smith project goggles? I can’t tell
You should really make vlogs I would TOTALLY watch theme plz do. Bet that he won’t see this comment :)
Haha maybe :)
Just made to Alberta winter games for slope style and moguls
plz tell me when you come to hemavan again so i can meet you!!! :)
How to keep track in air for quad cork ?
Already sort of done that with Andri. th-cam.com/video/KPHpCS4ItNY/w-d-xo.html&t=
Really cool for 30yo boy
Thanks! :)
Didn't know that you are swedish until watching this video of yours
what skis do you use
Could I possibly freeride on Bent´s 100? Thanks!
Cejay Adkins qualified and skied Junior World champs on bent 100s
Did you guys only get to visually inspect?
Where is this
The exact location is Kobåset in Hemavan, Sweden.
Aaa thank you good skiing.
Kom till vitbergsbacken i Skellefteå
I live in bc so it’s easy to ski on mountains but I’m scared
Yes!
What country are you from?😁
XIAZ Sverige
Sweden
I was expecting some 360 a back flip maybe any kind of sick tricks
Too risky.
@@StompItTutorials why was the snow to shitty to hard or you didn't have a chance to spot a line i know you can do sick tricks . And here in bc they have those ar revelstoke and Whistler and people are doing double back flips off 40 foor drops pretty sick check it out. I am not very good so either way awesome job and l love the videos
so sad for the erik, it was a clear podium for him
Got my first comp day after tomorrow, any tips?
Yes. Ski a somewhat easy line where you got a +95%-100% chance of doing the full line without any crashes. This so you can build confidence for future competitions.
Visualize the line many times you know in your head exactly where and how to ski. The more real you make the visualization the more powerful.
Control your nerves by breathing slowly. You can try box breathing like a navy seal.
Lastly, Have fun and Stomp It!
@@StompItTutorials ayy thanks jens, big fan:) lowkey skied too hard today, and tomorrow i might be too sore
@@sendjamin opsy. Let know how it goes during the comp🤙
@@StompItTutorials hey man, its the day after, i made the stupid mistake of skiing almost the entire day before and i dislocated my collarbone as well as fucked up my knee hahahaha, still competed but didn’t do any tricks, just airs. The top 10 all did at least a 360 and some did backies and flatspins, so i placed 15th, its was a dope experience tho, def learned alot
WAIT I THOUGHT YOU WERE A SWISS GUY?!😂
Wow, I understand the adlib part of skiing , but not having a plan before you start is rather foolhardy. That is how that guy fell off a 352 foot cliff!
Kul att du pratar svenska
Wait u from sweden?
Yes
