We are still accepting entries for the 30 competitor spots for the 2013 Pain McSchlonkey Classic. Enter here on our blog by telling us about your most embarrasing moment. I have been reading these as...

Yup, from the Alabama Hills. Thanks!

Yup, and thanks! Intro was me, and a few other shots through the film were me and/or Kidwoo. The bulk of what we shot over the winter was in the Sierra though so that will hopefully be coming to a...

What did you guys think? Did you like the intro segment?

Yeah, Canon serviced it no questions asked in January (because I paid for it).

Which means....what?

Before it goes on Ebay, maybe someone on here wants my 50D.

$500 and shipping and it's yours.

Two batteries, strap, charger included.

Bump cause this is coming up this weekend - who's gonna be there?

Awful news, in a winter full of it. Condolences to those who knew the lost. I never met him, but I got a lot of stoke from RandoSteve over the years, he was one of the reasons this place is special.

Who's ready for the greatest ski competition known to man or woman?

We bring you the 2012 Pain McSchlonkey Classic at Squaw Valley in just two weeks' time, the weekend of March 23rd-24th!!!

I'm coming out of TGR retirement to share this with you.

Yes I grew a goatee and shaved it and glued it to my forehead. I'm told this picture was on the wall in the Squaw pass office...

Who's got some advice for me in terms of which turnkey setup if I was to start shooting celestial objects?

How's this one, anyone have any experience +/_ with it?
...

I don't know about you guys but I use Prodigy to host my videos. I got this CD-ROM in the mail in a cardboard case that came with free internet access a few years back and it still smokes the pants...

If you would stop putting Miley Cyrus to your timelapses you might stop having this issue.

GIMP. Works with UFRaw and is very good.

Why am I seeing this "Opening isUserLoggedIn.kickAction" pop up all the time, whether I am logged in or not?

Yeah, the fail was me not sticking the air. From the way my neck feels today, I'm not sure if the bolt would have even held it to my helmet. That was some serious whiplash. I'll go back and try to...

Hucked a little air in the wrong position this morning first run, and did a minor face-to-knee, and the GoPro glue didn't hold onto my helmet. Went back to look for it to no avail. So if anyone comes...

All reports is that this is as bad if not worse as the news makes it out to be. I lived in ChCh for 1.5 years during the first half of my last bit of grad school. Lived in South Brighton. Drove...

I wouldn't go with "famous" as much as "briefly appeared in a friend's movie." And, I'm not a pro photographer so -500 GNAR points for you for calling out an amateur! I'll give them back when NG...

Um, yeah, Kidwoo TOOK the picture that I am in...so, you might want to do the poll over...

If I could get capicola and Iron City in Truckee, the Stillers would certainly have won.

Send your complaint to the source.

The farts were from the Rolling Rock, not my delicious Primanti's sandwiches.

The above is a pastrami and cheese. The below photo is a kielbasa and cheese, pic taken by Kidwoo, sandwich made (and held) by me.

What you can't...

on Friday when I get on a plane, I'm going to put some bricks in my camera bag and hand it to the stewardess and tell her it's full of expensive lenses.

I'm making these tonight in honor of the Steelers winning #7.
...

Totally digging all the entries in here so far...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Truthfully I bought these skis so they would be more versatile than a huge rockered pow-only ski. I like to think that I only tour on pow days, but the reality is that...

They were bought new last year so I think they have a wood core. If they were foam there's no way I would mount them twice!

Just got some Dynafit FT12s. Have 180 cm BD verdicts (orange). They were center mounted with Fritschi Freeride for 325mm.

The tech at my local shop called and said I have two choices - 6mm...

These are great Fuzz. Way better than the average travelogue gallery, some really artistic stuff in there.

Does anyone have any pictures from the 2003 Pain McSchlonkey Open? If so if you could PM me that would be rad. Thanks!

Missed the voting but would have given mine to Altamanator. Killer shot.

Sick! Great pics too Adam.

Yeah I had an image selected by them in the last week. And yes, the plaque for that was in the ladies room.

We are proud to announce one of the greatest ski competitions known...

I f'ed up and ordered O instead of A. These are brand new, haven't even peeled the protective plastic from them.

$30 shipped to you anywhere in the US of A.

Thanks Lonnie. Yeah, hours and hours and hours of standing around int he dark and cold listening to the shutter click. Your suggestion about longer lenses That was also one crit I got from some more...

Those are fantastic!

Here's one I got last night.

I put together my first timelapse reel. I'm learning how to do this, so I'm soliciting criticism. Please be honest, even if it means being harsh. I'm here to learn.

For starters I...

Love to hear how it goes.

I'm all ABOUT the CPG one. Lemme just see if I can find my checkbook...I know it's here somewhere, I saw it under that box of gold bars and jewelry last time...

I returned it to B+H. If the replacement is F'ed up too, we'll talk.

I meant I have a 5DII (if that makes a difference). And yes it froze my camera. So, was it a bad card, or do I need a different brand if I want to get a 32GB?

Wow. Impressive cinematography too.

Thanks. It was shot from the Marin headlands where you are going N or 101 and make a right immediately before you go across the bridge.

For the night shots I took 4 sec exposures with 2 sec...

I just bought a Kingston 32 GB card, which caused my camera (5D) to completely malfunction. I would make sure not to buy one of those. Get something from SanDisk, and preferably get two 16GB cards.

Nice job...I might be the first person to suggest this, but that music kinda makes me cringe. I am known to hate commercial house/trance and autotune though. Hit up Evil E for some variety in...
