Émile Bergeron
Emile Bergeron
Émile Bergeron is a versatile freerider from Quebec, known both for his competition achievements and his striking urban ski segments. He gained attention in ski films with a style influenced by top riders like Phil Casabon and Henrik Harlaut. Active in both park and backcountry, he frequently features in high-profile projects such as Come Around and The Grand Classik. Bergeron embodies the creative and bold spirit of modern skiing, showcasing refined technique and a strong individual presence.
Henrik Harlaut
Henrik Harlaut, born on August 14, 1991 in Stockholm and raised in Åre, Sweden, is widely celebrated as one of the greatest freestyle skiers of all time. Known by nicknames like “E-dollo” and “Bloody Dollaz,” he brings unmatched creativity, flair, and jaw-dropping technical innovation to the slopes. Henrik’s signature moment came in Aspen at Winter X Games XVII, where he landed the first-ever nose-butter triple-cork 1620 in Big Air, scoring a perfect 50 and securing the gold, along with silver in slopestyle. With a record 13 total X Games medals — 8 gold and 5 silver — he holds the most podiums in skiing history. He has represented Sweden at multiple Winter Olympics, finishing sixth in slopestyle in Sochi 2014 (famously performing with his pants around his knees and a “Wu-Tang is for the children” salute) and earning bronze in Big Air at Beijing 2022. Beyond the Olympics, he claimed silver at the 2019 World Championships (Big Air) and dominated the World Cup circuit, winning the Big Air crystal globe in 2017 with multiple event victories. More than a competitor, Henrik stands out as a cultural icon. His style — from dreadlocks and baggy clothes to fearless trick execution — challenges norms while embodying pure joy and expression. He balances competition, filmmaking (notably in “The Regiment”), and community involvement, remaining a powerful influence shaping freestyle skiing’s evolution.

Philip Casabon
Philip Casabon, known to skiers around the world as B-Dog, is a Canadian freeski legend from Shawinigan, Québec, whose influence on street and park skiing spans more than a decade of groundbreaking video parts, signature products and era-defining style. He emerged in the late 2000s and early 2010s as a rider who could make complex tricks look effortless, pairing technical precision with a relaxed body language that reads clearly on camera and in person. While many athletes built careers around podiums, Casabon built a catalog around originality and storytelling, proving that progression in freeskiing is measured not just by spin counts, but by ideas, rhythm and the way a skier uses terrain. Casabon’s breakthrough years were intertwined with a creative partnership with Henrik Harlaut under the B&E banner, culminating in invitational events that showcased style, flow and unconventional features. Those projects amplified a philosophy that still guides his skiing today. Lines are designed like sentences with a beginning, middle and end. Approach speed is chosen to preserve cadence rather than to force difficulty. Takeoffs are decisive and axes are set early so rotations remain readable and landings ride away clean. The result is footage that ages well and remains instructive for younger riders studying how to combine rails, walls, gaps and banks into coherent sequences. The contest world eventually embraced video-based formats, and Casabon became a benchmark there as well. In X Games Real Ski he delivered all-urban segments that balanced heavy enders with subtle touches: nose and tail presses that carry real weight, surface swaps performed on imperfect steel, redirected spins that treat walls and banks as extensions of the rail line. Those edits demonstrated mastery of spot selection, logistics and risk management under tight timelines. They also highlighted a symbiosis with filmer and editor Brady Perron, whose eye for pacing and framing magnified Casabon’s skating-inspired approach to edges, balance and transitions. Equipment is a central part of Casabon’s story. His signature park and street skis became known for playful flex in the tips and tails, supportive underfoot platforms and shapes that feel neutral on unknown landing angles. He is meticulous about mount points that keep swing weight balanced without sacrificing landing stability, and he is vocal about edge durability, torsional support and base speed on contaminated snow. In boots, he gravitated to progressive designs that preserve ankle articulation and rebound for presses and quick recentering after surface changes. This product literacy turns gear into a creative partner rather than an afterthought, and it informs a steady stream of feedback to designers who translate rider needs into shapes and constructions that withstand urban abuse. Casabon’s training habits reveal why the style looks so effortless. Off snow he emphasizes hip and ankle mobility, single-leg strength for efficient pop on short run-ins, and trunk stability to manage off-axis rotations without letting the upper body flail. Trampoline and air-awareness sessions break big tricks into components, rehearsing set mechanics, grab timing and spotting before full-scale attempts. On snow he builds lines from low-consequence moves, scaling them patiently into heavy features once speed, angles and snow texture are predictable. That incremental method reduces injuries and preserves longevity in a discipline where impact tolerance is often mistaken for progress. Storytelling is another thread that runs through his career. Casabon treats each project like an album rather than a single, choosing music, color and pacing that serve the skiing. He shows the process in behind-the-scenes moments: shoveling and salting to control speed, testing inruns at dawn when light is flat but traffic is light, cleaning spots and restoring environments out of respect for neighborhoods. This transparency sets a standard for urban filming etiquette and keeps doors open for future crews. It also explains why his films are rewatchable; they offer both the satisfaction of heavy tricks and the narrative of how those tricks were made possible. Community impact rounds out his profile. Casabon mentors younger riders by translating complex technique into simple cues: align early on the inrun, commit to a clean set, keep shoulders calm through impact, and ride away with purpose. He is honest about fear management, using visualization and measured increments to turn nerves into information rather than noise. In camps and informal sessions he shares the small adjustments that create big gains, from binding ramp angle to edge bevels that keep rails viable on cold mornings. As freeskiing continues to evolve, Casabon remains a reference point for authenticity. He releases tightly curated video parts, appears at select events, and collaborates with brands in ways that preserve the integrity of his style while pushing product design forward. His legacy is not confined to medals or one winter’s highlight reel. It lives in a generation of skiers who learned that creativity can be systematic, that style is a skill built on fundamentals, and that a line that reads beautifully will always matter. For fans and aspiring riders, Philip Casabon stands as proof that street skiing can be both refined and raw, both disciplined and free, and that the most enduring progression happens when craft, culture and community move together.
