What does the future of freeskiing look like? And who is working to shape that future?

Today, Luke Koppa talks with James Woods (aka Woodsy) about how he and fellow pro skiers, Ferdinand Dahl and Oystein Braaten, founded Jib League to fill voids that they were noticing in the freeskiing world. What they came up with proved to be a unique event series that’s been loved by athletes and viewers alike, and the story of how it came to be is just as interesting as all the absurd tricks put down by the riders at each stop.

As you’ll hear right away, Woodsy truly loves all aspects of freeskiing, and his passion is contagious — so regardless of whether you’ve ever hit a rail or gone off a jump, we think you’ll really enjoy this conversation.
