Should I sign this release to be in a Warren Miller film?
So I just got an email from a guy at Warren Miller letting me know that they are going to be filming at this years X-Games and focusing on the Monoskier-X competition I'm competing in. Apparently they're going to be doing quite a bit and following us through training and the elimination rounds plus the televised final itself to be featured in 'next years film'.
Sounds pretty cool, obviously I'd prefer to be in a TGR film *cough* *cough*
They've asked me to sign a waiver, which looks like I basically sign my life away completely:
