Mandatory introductions? Whether it be 5 seconds or 30, audio or video, it would add a ton of personality and maybe some good comedy...
I can't remember...
This could be a bring back the summits sort of thing, too...
Certain dates for each region where someone could bring the cam to a certain resort, and pass it around through out the day.
Not sure if I qualify as a maggette or not, but I would be down to organize some parking lot BBQs in the PNW for said days.
I wasn't around in the days of the summits, and that makes me sad... so bring them back!
This idea has developed some serious legs and support. Dibs is rolling with tons o' schwag from a budding list of sponsors for skiers in the winning regional segment. At least it's where the idea is at now. sfb is looking for ideas from everyone on the best way to organize this contest. TGR420 is donating GoPros or the equivalent thereof. Maybe some summit footie will be had to boot. Maybe everything compiled to make the maggot movie.
oh, yeah, dibs is looking for a ghostwriter for any official correspondence to potential spancers and those who speak english.
consider me in.
this sounds awesome. I hope we can get something going on the east coast too. Maybe a maggot run up tuckermans?
Im hopin to hear back from tgr420 in reguards as to how he would like to see it happen, whether it
could be an ofishcereal tgr contest and try and use tgr sponsers/adverstisers to solict possible swag, prizes, change summits from the gay mountainering forum to contests so a bunch of polls as to how long, requirements etc arnt bumpin other stuff of ski/board
I myself think it should be as much maggot as possible Team Utard isnt gonna just throw another go pro on jamie pierre as long as I have a say.
I think that while it may limit the overall quality of final productions the stoke in this particular contest should come from a level playing feild of a single go pro
So crackhead doesnt get the helicam back in action and dominate. it should be about editing, ability to bring the lutz, icemanesque maggotly weirdness some gnar, some hate, boobies, quality skiing and mother fuckin irl maggot interaction to create stoke using a simple gadget.
If there is enough cams for multiple east coast states or ID and MT Tahoe vrs mammoth or Canada or Europe Japan the more the betters but IDK
As to whether I kneed to spell check and type on a pc that doesnt have broken keys and whore swag/prizes from all corners of the ski world. IDK
Wasatchpowderskis.com is kickin in skis and swag Splats given away more skis than I can remember but shit Ill go make a pair and hang w/ my bro to sweeten the pot

I think this is sweet. I would like to help but don't really know how....
Put me on a volunteer list if you get one going.
This should get stickied
contest rules.
allotment of cameras.
party.
PUMPED! Can we get something going for the Great White North?
I eat, I sleep, I ski.
Awesome idea.. I can see a lot of people wanting to get in on it. Which means there could be high demand vs availability of official cameras..
I would definitely second the idea of a list of spots where cameras will scheduled to be. Hopefully one of them will pass thru AZ..
Don't you fuckin' threaten ME with a good time!
I say the cam spends X amount of time at each place, and in that time (say two weeks or so) that crew throws down hard then keeps their footy to edit into an alotted amount of time then sends the cleared cam to the next place on the list. If, say, there's a huge dump happening somewhere that doesn't normally get hammered, that crew goes to the front of the line to catch the moment. At the end of the season, all footy is submitted to the site and could then be assembled on a page for the masses to watch or made into one giant mashup... But I'm down for anything. I can get some peeps together out east for some shenanigans no doubt.
I'd love to try to give you westies a run for your stoke money, you might have the bigger terrain but nobody has more fun than us!
It depends how good you want it to get. When I make a video, I try to edit, but it's still just ok. I agree with splat, time2clibs's suggestion in the FKNA thread is good. 10 min. max (even 5) should be in the rules. It's not going to be easy to get a "master editor", and a lot of "film" will wind up on the floor. Also, what to do about desired music to go with the carnage. Me, I like old school...Freebird, Heroin, Mountain Jam...
Also, there should be some segments with fart bags, '80s steeze and even purple high$$$$$ barney pants to add some color...

You best believe team Utarded is gonna have Iceman skiing in Jeans on their final edit.Not sure about steezy barney pants though
Teams of ~7 mags as many teams per state or region as you want 10 to 15 min edit - 30 for sponsers.
Id like to get as many sponser shout outs in as I think if the contest gains popularity, Comp lift tickets and other swag should be rewarded without turning it into a rolling advertisement.
Big shout out to
spam
for kicking down a pair of new skis for the winning team as a traveling trophy that that state or region will hold until defeated in the stoke off next season. Trying to find the line between having a great contest with cool swag/prizes for playing and turning it into a facebook who has the most freinds and can exploit the social marketing system for votes.
And how the 420bro whose house this is were e-chillin at would like to see this contest go down. Monthly leading to a season final? etc

I think this sounds like a really great idea. I would be willing to contribute footage around the Summit County/Vail/Aspen areas.
Do Work let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I'm in seacoast NH.I can get some peeps together out east for some shenanigans no doubt.
I think monthly contests with a final season will be more fair to the least coast crew even ullrs furkid

This is shaping up to be pretty epic. I'm down to participate in and help facilitate this project.
Some thoughts.
-Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, California, New Hampshire, Vermont, Montana cams? Is that enough? More might be stretching it.
-Vids get uploaded to TGR site to a specific contest page where you can see all the edits in one place. These same vids can get embedded into a forum post.
-Voting takes place as a forum poll to keep it more mag based and not FB contest.
-Other than the GoPros all prizes come from Mag companies.
Just a few thoughts.
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!!! What a ride!"

and so shall it be shaped for your maggot wise og 420ish input
no love for the Canknucklehead mags?
Seems the ehouse is a tetongravity maggot thing
would not any company that sponsers tgr in their pursuit of minds knumbing films of stoke and keep the, most whacky skiing place in the cyber world or however yoss or eldermaggot states it in the welcome young minions jongs thread, going not be a maggot company?
Or your most excellent thoughts on beggin for swag/prices in order to induce the A game stoke bringing levels and keep it here not on blog links or facelook at me

POV clarification: can one mag be at the bottom looking back up with the helmet cam to film another mag? Or must all eligible shots be POV of the skier/rider?
