Jesper Tjäder is a professional skier, and a fine one at that. But he’s also a filmmaker and marketer. With backing from Red Bull and GoPro, Jesper’s been given creative liberty to make YouTube and social edits that continuously stretch the boundaries of what’s possible, including his Unrailistic series and his own “game show,” where he flips through a fire hoop. Yes, he’s an Olympian. Yes, he’s won slopestyle competitions. But where he truly shines is outside the competition singlet, where he can build and hit never-been-done rails and innovate in the air. Find him on the next viral ski clip you see.
