"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." While he was onto something in the '80s, I don't know if Ferris Bueller's advice applies to 2024. Thanks to the non-stop deluge that is social media, life's now moving at warp speed—blink, and you're out of luck. That’s where Keep Your Clips Up—a weekly collection of the best videos in skiing—comes in.
Is the ski season over yet? No, siree! Across North America—and the world, for that matter—skiers are still getting after it and, more importantly, racking up snowsports' most valuable currency: clips. This week brings a bountiful harvest of Scandinavian throwdowns, stellar rookie performances, and good old-fashioned POV charging.
Kimbo Sessions Continues To Impress
Year after year, Kim Boberg’s aptly titled Kimbo Sessions brings an incredibly stacked crew of freeskiers to Kläppen Ski Resort, Sweden. The project is a labor of love for Boberg, whose relentless work has transformed Kimbo Sessions into one of the events in freeskiing. It presents an opportunity for freeskiing’s best to get together, hang out, and collectively push the sport to new heights in an unstructured format. Us viewers? We’re just along for the ride.
Andreas Håtveit and Co. Are on One
At this point, overstating the impressiveness of Andreas Håtveit's continued presence in freeskiing is impossible. Yes, Candide Thovex exists, but Håtveit, who's 37, is also quietly proving that age is a mere construct away from the limelight of viral videos and Audi ad spots. In TGP Vol. 7, Håtveit's joined by an equally talented rail-skiing roster that includes Benedik Oye, Robert Ruud, Knut Fineid, and Samuel Haugeplass. This might be one of the best skiing videos released all season.
Kelly, Well, Sends
If you haven't heard the name Kelly Rivers Hilleke, it's time for an introduction. Standing apart from the crowd these days is nearly impossible for young shredders, but Hilleke—who possesses a deep bag of tricks and impressive freeriding skills to match—does so with aplomb. Get acquainted with the next big thing in skiing below.
Henry Zakowskis Through Utah
With a last name like Zakowski, you better be handy on a pair of sticks. Lucky for him, Henry Zakowski's more than capable of living up to his namesake, chucking 360s and backflips with the best of them in his latest POV edit filmed at several Utah ski resorts. POV footage tends to make skiing look less gnarly than it is, but don't be fooled: you couldn't pay me enough to trick some of the features Zakowski 360s in this one.
Matěj Švancer Gets Gymnastic
Red Bull and Jesper Tjäder's Unrailistic may have wrapped up several days ago, but that doesn't mean we aren't still talking about it. Billed as one of the zanier gatherings in freeskiing, the competition featured a slew of strange and wonderful park features, including a trampoline. Yes, a trampoline. Here's Matěj Švancer doing his best gymnast impression.

Predicting the standings for each NFL division
With the NFL season about to kick off, there's no better time to look ahead and predict how the division standings will shake out by season's end. This week, Yardbarker's NFL crew came together to do just that.

Green Bay Packers: Micah Parsons Responds to NFC East QB’s Unexpected Pitch After Trade
Perhaps one of the winners of the Green Bay Packers’ trade acquisition of Micah Parsons on Thursday is Russell Wilson and the New York Giants. With Parsons gone in the NFC East division, the Giants don’t have to deal with Parsons twice in the 2025 NFL regular season. Well, they will still be facing the Packers in East Rutherford in Week 11, but at least they’re not going to deal with Parsons multiple games in a season for years to come. Russell Wilson gets response from Parsons after Green Bay Packers trade Following Parsons’ stunning trade from the Dallas Cowboys to Green Bay, Wilson went on social media to offer the former Penn State Nittany Lions star some logistical help. “You know @MicahhParsons11 I went to Wisconsin @BadgerFootball…Anything you need in Wisco… Packing ur bags.. moving company… just let me know. ,” Wilson shared in a post on X. Parsons saw Wilson’s post and responded to it. “ hit my line,” Parsons wrote. It is undeniable that the Cowboys lost a crucial defensive weapon by letting go of Parsons, but they also didn’t see him as important enough to get him the extension contract he was looking for. Instead, Parsons lands in Green Bay, where he will be helping the Packers’ stop unit that was just 12th in the NFL in 2024 with a 7.42 percent sack rate. In any case, Parsons is no longer as big of a yearly threat to the rest of the NFC East but is now for the Packers’ NFC North rivals. The Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions just had their respective offensive lines and quarterbacks put on notice by Parsons.
Taylor Townsend reveals how Jelena Ostapenko insulted her during post-match argument
Taylor Townsend claimed Jelena Ostapenko made insulting comments about her background and education after their heated U.S. Open match on Wednesday. Townsend beat Ostapenko 7-5, 6-1 during their second round match Wednesday, but the two players got into an argument during the traditional post-match congratulatory handshakes. Townsend and Ostapenko continued the argument at Ostapenko’s player bench before Townsend ultimately broke off to celebrate. Townsend was asked during her post-match interview what was said between her and Ostapenko. The American claimed Ostapenko had personally insulted her. “It’s competition. People get upset when they lose. Some people say bad things,” Townsend said. “She told me I have no class, I have no education, and to see what happens when we get outside the US. I’m looking forward to it. I beat her in Canada outside the U.S. … let’s see what else she has to say.” Townsend was certainly insulted by what Ostapenko told her. She even had the American crowd jeer Ostapenko as the Latvian left the court. Ostapenko has clashed with other players before, but most would agree that if Townsend correctly represented what she said, that undoubtedly crossed a line.
Cubs' Craig Counsell earns most tame ejection of MLB season
Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell was ejected early in his team's game against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday, and home plate umpire David Rackley didn't put up with much before giving him the hook. Chicago had outfielder Ian Happ at the plate with a runner on first and one out in the top of the third inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Right fielder Kyle Tucker attempted to steal second on a 3-2 pitch in a tie game, but he was thrown out at second. The pitch was also called a strike, which ended the inning. Counsell felt that the ball had missed outside and came out of the dugout to state his case to Rackley, who was in no mood to hear it. Counsell was quickly dismissed from the game. The Cubs lost their first two games of the series against San Francisco and scored a combined five runs in those contests, so Counsell may have been trying to light a fire under his team. Though he seemed a bit surprised when Rackley ejected him. Chicago entered Thursday with a record of 76-57. Counsell's team was 6.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central but atop the NL wild-card standings.
