Alex Hackel’s journey from an east coast underdog to a global freeskiing icon is a testament to resilience and unyielding passion. Overcoming personal challenges like idiopathic short stature and dyslexia, Alex found solace and strength in skiing and filmmaking—turning obstacles into opportunities for creativity and expression. After a knee injury redirected his path from competitive slopestyle skiing to the world of film, Alex’s work with “The Bunch” and his acclaimed X Games Real Ski videos have not only pushed the boundaries of street skiing but also inspired a community.

At BodyGuardz, we resonate with Alex’s story of perseverance, his commitment to pushing limits, and his desire to empower others through his art and athleticism. His narrative embodies our core values: to protect and enhance the adventurous spirit within all of us, ensuring that nothing breaks our passion to explore and create.
