- Jason Levinthal shares his view from the helm of his start-up ski company. He lives by the logic, "If I want to land a big jump, I'm going to drop in with as much speed as possible."
Jason Levinthal is the founder of J Skis. As a pioneer in the modern ski industry, Levinthal has instituted unique marketing and design practices within his field. In addition, Levinthal took home the bronze medal in The Winter X Games' first-ever skiing event in 1998.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Yea JLev! inspiring! Thanks for pushing for change in skiing and ski products and for making Line like .. exist and stuff...
Haha “exist and stuff” glad you guys exist as are making sick skis
I had an older pair of Line ski boards that I bought of Craigslist for $40 and absolutely had a blast on them. Unfortunately, I got a little too confident and tried a jump beyond my abilities and wiped out so hard, one of them took off and disappeared. Lol. It sucks bc they are now considered a rare and sought after item and I only have one of them. The other probably ended up in lost n found, but then that lodge completely burnt down. Rip
line skis were what got me started as a skier, originally a snowboarder looking t I buy another set of J's or lines!
So I had an interation with Jason last night about his skis and all I can say is wow. blown away by how awesome he is. He recommended me something he was currently sold out of. He could have easily blown smoke up my ass and told me " oh, buy this one right now" but he was so damned professional that he advised me to wait and get the product that was right for me. He has just created a customer for life....
Such a great story. He had a vision and made it it happen.
Also I rip J skis and will tell everyone about them
Our family has being skiing on Lines since 2010. Great skis and philosophy Jason. Eric Pollard and you are the best!
Still skiing on my Motherships!
Haha same ! Love the line mothership - skiing it in NZ in 2 days !
J Lev for president
Thank you for creating and innovating the sport we love! Without the Line Invaders I don't think I would have been obsessed with park skiing for the past 8-9 years. You're the man!!
As a kid who fell in love with skiing around the time of the line 1260s and is now starting his own business and sometimes find it hard to keep motivation to do those all day-shifts every day - this is inspiring. Thank you !
Dom Bonham What is your company called man, I'd love to check them out and support.

Inspiring talk from an inspiring individual!!
So stoked to ride my new Metals next week. Crazy how Japan saved great rock bands and ski brands
Woooow duude that's awesome ! Great job !
Now snowboarding has influenced skiing again with reverse camber and magnetraction
interesting stuff
Skiboarding 4lyfe!!! xD
So he was responsible for gay blades! Fair play though. As he said game changer!
Nobody needs more of the same thing!
But why limit yourself to just skis?
Why not a snowboard too?
+Jeff Weissman skis can do everything a snowboard can and more.
+airhead3333 True but it is awesome to ride both. PNW snow has a ton of variety and rocking a board and skis is the way to go.
nah thats why you own more than one pair of skis.
Do you make good boards or skis? Jack of all trades/master of none? I dont know his reasons but feel that way. cheers
wrong, 100 year old skis were very different, shane changed this falsehood
