Are you a vegan?

you look to be in a hurry. why is that?

nothing against the poster at all, but i'm so sick of seeing helmet cam footage i want to get rid of my own. or maybe i'll just use it for golf instead. everybody is doing the same thing. visually it's all the same.

I agree with Spook on this one. Helmet cam is hard to watch and does little for me unless it is spliced with an outside perspective, which you generally only get in professional ski movies. I also think it helping speed the demise of the well written photo TR, which is the reason I am on TGR to begin with.

I don't get it, did either of you bother actually watching this edit?!? It was a perfect mix of POV and third person perspective, less than half POV by my reckoning. And it was sick. That last line especially was gnarly and charged.

agreed^^^^^^^^wholeheartedly. nice mix and ballzy airs. would like to see better turns thrown in, but he doesn't seem to be interested in turning too much. has plenty to focus on as it is.

Stoke! Nice to see some. Ballsy lines and well executed. Where filmed?

yea, very high-end stuff there...at 4:05 the knob goes to 11!
can't recall seeing such a steep, straight and high consequence POV as that last line...YOW!!

good work!

Damn Steve nice work again this year.

Cooke City I'm pretty sure.

Some serious lines in that video, and plenty of high quality, non-POV shots. Watch it before you judge it based on a frame grab. Well done.

really cool.

i did. that's why i said nothing against the poster. still doesn't change the fact that i can't stand the pov cam. enjoyed the third person. but the second i see pov my eyes glaze over.

Really digging the video. The song (not my favorite, but psyched you used it) as well as that last line were pretty killer.

Nice work Steve! The last line was dope.

Thanks for sharing.

I'll watch that again for sure. Good cuts, fun music, on the edge skiing.

Spook, smile a little, go skiing, then post about it here. Your shit gets old.

hey! just like helmet cam footage! who knew!

Watched this a ton of times.

The POV in this is a good mix in this edit. I've been stoked everytime I see it.

Spook, you can go fuck yourself. When did you take it upon yourself to cunt up every thread around here?

Fuck anyone who shit's on good stoke.

I'm just reminded how easy the huck on skis can be. Every yahoo with balls can send it and hot tub or scrub the landing. It's like hitting a rail on roller blades or skis. Cute, but take off the training wheels next time.

Now if you can lawn dart like md9 or roll like blurry that's a different story.

Great edit! Good mix of pov and filming. Not sure why there is hate on this. Super ballzy, I can agree on the lack of skilled turns but it was fun to watch.

"roll like blurry" what does that mean? Hucking to hot tubs with no landings ever being shown? most of blurred's footage of him skiing is very similar, not much good technique (pow turns, technical skiing) displayed in his stuff either.

You are a little crazy. but I enjoyed it and the lines are a good mix of technical, sketch and some great pow. Well played.

yeah dude, pretty sure we watched you tee up a couple hairball lines at sweet corn fest, well done.

That.


Was.


Fucking.


Awesome.
