Swiss freestyler goes viral with parkour routine

While freestyle skiing is not a mainstream sport, Ragettli figured out where to find an audience of hundreds of thousands for his tricks. With his training sessions full of athletic jumps and balancing acts, he manages to attract more and more followers on social media. Currently he’s got 32,600 on YouTube, 310,000 on Instagram and 1.1 million on TikTok.
