An oldie but goodie, we pulled this 2013 compilation of Aksel Lund Svindal’s freeskiing adventures in Norway and Canada out of the Red Bull archives because he has an important message for ski racers.

“I’m never going to be the guy that drops the biggest cliffs, but I should try to work on some technical skills so I can also play around a little bit,” Svindal said. “Everything you do, you learn something new. You get better as an athlete.”
