Pekka Hyysalo

Five years ago 20-year-old Pekka Hyysalo wanted to become the best freestyle skier in the world. Director of New Run Miikka Niemi was shooting a freestyle skiing film when Pekka’s final jump happened right in front of his eyes. Pekka overshot the landing and crashed. Brain injury and recovery of this Finnish man touched and inspired not just the freestyle skiing community but everyone else, too. New Run tells about the last five years and the future of Pekka. With endless determination he is running on against all odds.
