Jēkabs Jansons is a rising star in Latvian freeskiing and a worthy representative of the Baltic school of technical skiing.

As a member of the progressive SKLMNTI crew, Jēkabs places a huge emphasis on style and the purity of his maneuvers—every grab is fully tweaked, and every dismount is "stomped".

He regularly competes in FIS events, building his position in the European Rail Event rankings.

In Szczyrk, Jēkabs will undoubtedly showcase top-tier technical freeskiing, fighting for the title of the best rider in this year's edition.
