Isaac Newton, one of the greatest physicists ever, once said that “no great discovery was ever made without a bold guess”.
A few centuries later Juho Kilkki said that “I doubt any great discoveries were made here but dropping in on any of these tricks sure felt like the boldest of guesses”.
The 2023 Valio Academy scholars have now been released - this time it’s a total of 319 scholarships! Huge congrats to everyone selected and a warm thank you to everyone who sent in their applications. (More than 2000 applications were received this year!) This was the fifth time we got to be a small part of the selecting process. Valio Academy is a big supporter of sports and physical activity of children and adolescents in Finland.

Street skiing is a niche sport. But it can still be versatile, colorful and full of nuances. It's a sport and an art that you can make your own. That's why street skiing deserves to be portrayed in rich ways. You don't need to have tons of equipment and crazy spots to go out there. You don't need to be all serious and only do it at night. Grab your friends or even go by yourself and go do it your way. Just because we have a narrow image of something doesn't mean we should stick to it.
Each year Valio Academy program is sponsoring hundreds of children's and adolescents' sports and well-being. Anyone (in Finland) can apply for a scholarship - regardless of their sport or level. Deadline for next year's applications is August 15th. More information and instructions: valio.fi/akatemia.

Mad Professors of Skiing is a full length documentary film about Real Skifi. We made this film first and foremost for ourselves and loved ones. In the age of fast clips and algorithms we wanted to create a meaningful memory that could last for decades. The goal was not to convince the world how cool of a phenomenon Real Skifi is. Instead we tried to capture genuine feelings and memories focusing on what this journey has felt like and meant for us.
We started working on Mad Professors of Skiing in the spring of 2020 and we premiered it locally in December 2022. And now, in February 2024, it’s time to release it for you.
Biggest thanks to everyone who has accompanied, supported or watched us throughout the years. We couldn’t have done this without you. We’re beyond thankful for all we’ve had.

In 1687 physicist Isaac Newton published a book called “Principia”, which set the foundations for classical mechanics: Newton’s laws of motion. Below is a somewhat free translation of the laws:
(I) If you forget to set your spin/flip on the take off, it’s quite hard to do so midair
(III) But if you happen to have a pair of dumbbells with you in the air and you throw them, the dumbbells will also throw you
(II) The bigger the dumbbells, the more you spin/flip
However some rules could not be found from Newton’s Principia. Rules that would hundreds of years later dictate how Valio Academy scholarships work. Here’s the three perhaps most important ones:
(1) You may only get a scholarship if you apply for one.
(2) Don’t waste your time. The deadline for next year’s applications is August 14th 2022.

Last winter the folks at Valtra asked us to join them in celebrating the launch of their new G series tractors. They were curious if we could do some tricks with, over and off the tractors. They pretty much said we could do whatever we want.
We said yes.

We’re proud to introduce Episode 20 – the latest edition in our most popular series. The video continues the tried-and-tested formula: action-packed urban skiing with a creative twist.
Skiing has been our passion for over 20 years already. We hope this video inspires you to spend your well-earned holidays following your passions and doing the sports you love.
Organic Skiing is a video part made by me and my wife during the winter of 2016. When filming for the video we walked to all the spots from our home. (Except one that was in the backyard of our friends' house where we were staying for a holiday.) We used only natural terrain to get speed for the tricks and natural light for filming.
Jyväskylä has a pretty strong history in urban skiing and snowboarding. Actually most of the spots in this video were already built by other crews such as the Tikut Gang. Huge thanks for the setups and inspiration for all the local shredders.

Time is a curious thing. Time is slow when you wait and fast when you’re late. Time has the power to make you grow up. Time will heal. Time will tell. Time appears to be a constant but it's not. Time is different to every observer. Time is subjective. Time is relative.
Now (whatever it means) it’s time to enjoy the holidays. We say pick your favorite seasonal physical activity, go out there and make time fly.

Practice will get you far – but a phone call can get you anywhere. “The Roof” aims to be a transparent glimpse of us working together to get the shot on one of the most epic spots we’ve ever embarked on.

Juho Kilkki converted an old VW Transporter into his dream vehicle. With skis, shovels, a drop in ramp and a winch inside it is the perfect tool for street skiing. Tune in as Juho shares all the delicious details and sheds some light on questions asked by many viewers throughout the years: How bad is urban and summer skiing for your ski bases? How do you get speed in the streets? And is it true that there's a DIY portable miniramp in the van in the summer?

Juho has been battling with knee issues for years. And he's not the only one. ACL injuries are far too common in skiing. Sometimes making a successful recovery might be taken for granted. And other times you don't even realize who didn't make it back. But what really goes on through the journey?
This video is an in-depth look into Juho's battles. A lot of things are still uncertain but one thing is for sure: Juho is not giving up easily - the story ain't over yet!
What if you took your Powder skis to the wakeboard park?

We always loved this concept by Slvsh, where the audience picks the tricks. This is our tribute to the legendary series, as Juho takes on Talma's park for the first time in his life. Huge thanks to everyone who sent in their trick suggestions! 🙏

Last winter we revisited Havumäki Ranch. This time we got to experience it in dream like conditions. We had so much snow that our smiles were almost as wide as our skis.

We had some time between our flights at the Düsseldorf Airport when we were coming back home from Andorra. Actually, we had a whole night! We decided not to sleep that night so we stayed up all night filming parkour! realskifi.com

We traveled not far from home but far from the usual. After touring in the dark woods and skiing powder at night, we slept in a small hut in -10°C. The next morning, we woke up to a beautiful view and skied till sunset. This was a trip to remember.
The nerdiest ski video of the year 🤓

Transitions are the unseen heroes of filmmaking. They humbly take us from one shot to another, but rarely receive any praise. This time, let’s not take them for granted. Let’s give them their spot in the limelight.
The 2024 Valio Academy stipend recipients have now been selected and published. A total of 300 stipends were awarded. Big congratulations to those selected and above all thanks to all those who applied for a stipend! More information about the program and a list of new stipendiaries: valio.fi/akatemia.
