Behind the Scenes of Jibskin with Founder Henry Sabella

I like the pants alot actually good mix between a track pant and a ski pant. Right now they are my favorate pair of $100 (retail) ski pants. However whoever said they arnt breathable is correct IMO. If he put the vents on the outside it would be much better but it wouldnt look as good. If he removed the netting it would vent alot better but snow could get in easier and the metal zipper would touch your skin so pick your poison. Only major complaint is the giant embroidery on the knee. The pant would be so much better without it and he would save money.

Fact that he is 17 though and is putting out a pair of $100 ski pants that are this good is impressive. Not sure how many pairs he had made but his new drop is already sold out.

dude seems to be super motivated, but my guy needs have more respect for the freestyle skiings history. Just an example since he brought up how his generation looked up to Henrik; Henrik would be in a much different place with out the 4bi9 crew. That crew wouldn’t be anything with out the influence of full length features, freeze magazine, and newschoolers. imo if you enjoy and like anything in life you need to look back to the history of whatever that thing is. Just like how if you enjoy 90s hip hop you got to take a second to listen to disco and soul music from the 60s and 70s. Everything has an origin and it’s super naive to not even know some basic history of this sport that you’re trying to profit off of.

Yo g just saw this and want to voice how I feel on this topic again. I wasn't around for the early days of park skiing. He asked who my OG's were, and I named the first guys that came to mind. Obviously there is an entire hierarchy of people from all aspects of the sport that I see as legends but ultimately, I represent the culture of park skiing I am from. I am not focused on the guys who were on the come up 20 years ago, I am focused on the guys on the come up now. I have tremendous respect for the guys that came before my time, but it is hard for me to appreciate them the same way you guys did because I wasn't around then. It's the same way you probably don't get crazy hyped about guys like Tblake/Jkarsteter/Matej who are all rising legends around my age. There's nothing wrong with any of this. I don't disrespect anyone's history and I wish there was less of that going around this community.
