First of, we have to admit that we love when skiers present products bearing their names. Virtually any products. One can't hide in the winter forest ignoring the current trends - and those are that great athletes cooperate with equipment manufactures or , indeed, launch their own brands. From Olivier Bernhard/On Running to Michael Jordan/Air Jordan by Nike ( just to name but a few big names) - that's how the world rolls these days. So, when a skier gives her/his name to a product - it's already a win for great sport of skiing ( cue Daehlie, Ulvang and Johaug).

Man behind the scenes. Meet Morten Iversbakken, co-founder, manager & driving force behind the rapid rise of @idtsports.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Just ask Jorge Vidal. It all started in 2013 when a former television reporter and avid sport enthusiast from Jaca, Spain was looking for a new endurance training option as his injured knee was craving for one with less of impact. He was introduced to rollerskiing, then highly exotic, nearly unheard of in that part of Europe.
