Cody Townsend snaked my line

[simple]

TGR makes movies?

No, they make 40 minute long web edits. Ski movies are dead except for warren miller of course.

..... Credit is for people with ego's and beta books, skiing is for people that like to have fun.

I'm guessing that the only reason Brainfarm is butthurt is because they know that Cody killed the line way better than Travis and their footage is relative shit.

Been wondering that myself. Furthermore, given that it's a 3 year project, does Rice go back to ride the line again in hopes to slay it harder that Cody did? "I'm way more core! I pined it!"

...skiing is for people that like to have fun.

Funny how that gets lost sometimes.



Does anyone really care that someone else rode it first? Not like you were going around making a big deal about it being a 1st descent (as has been discussed by all). I've never been watching footage thinking: "Fuckin puss...someone else totally slayed that before."

[hooked]

The real important question is how many Squallywood points does Akla get for this?

Can we get a ruling from the judges?

Sloppy seconds in a nun's cunt = 1,000,000


Seems like Brain Farm started their 3 year project 2 years late.

In all actually it didn't look like it was prepped at all. But after seeing that comment I could see how it might have been prepped. There was a large cornice to my left when I entered and perhaps Travis cut out the cornice next to the rock wall to make a doable entrace. To me is just looked like a normal gap in a cornice, something that we have to find on nearly every single run we make in AK. So yeah, would never have thought it was prepped as there were no tracks or signs of digging or anything like that when I got into it.

Thanks for answering. My point was, and your answer supported, that you knew what was up out there. You did what any rational skier would do - assessing the conditions as you stepped onto a very large line. Because of that, you nailed the line and the shot, cool as a cucumber.

Kind of like giving the Jones crew a hard time for putting up a great descent on a legendary line (with a Legend of a First Descender) in his new movie. It was an amazing set of shots, and it showed the skill required to get down those committing features (mind you, a different story line).

God forbid someone is secretive about their footage......and most of you dirtbags don't even buy TGR's movies, you fucking steal them from some torrent site.

didnt you hear? the pirates where raided and for now are simply adrift at sea, looking for land.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Well this has certainly been entertaining!

Thanks for all the background info Alka. I just find it all fascinating.

Pretty crazy that people need to sign Non-disclosure Agreements about what was filmed, etc.

[digitaldeath]

i might even be more impressed seeing somebody snowboard through that. with so little space i would definitely rather go 60 mph wit my shoulders square to the space.

of course, now that i think of it, one of the things that made townsend's ride amazing to me was that he didn't know what was in the chute until he went. with respect to rice riding the line first, then apparently townsend didn't ride completely blind. he knew he could get through.

more like 80-90mph dog

u ski slow as fuck

[spook]

i only said 60 because i believe he referenced that number himself at some point. besides, i like turning. on a board.

[Lindahl]

Lets settle this - Cody, what did your phone GPS say? How fast were you REALLY going?

[JaytaeMoney]

Lets settle this - Cody, what did your phone GPS say? How fast were you REALLY going?

and what was/is the average slope angle, and the vertical drop

[spook]

if townsend doesn't have that info maybe rice does!

[josef]

I'm still not convinced that most of the people in this thread aren't brain farm trolls.... Maybe I am...? Shit

[pipedream]

I'd like to nominate this thread right now for TGR Thread of the Year. I know the competition's stiff w/ RT3 still out there falling to the bottom, but this has it all: pro skiers commenting, nun puns, NDAs and top-notch Internet dickery. As for my contribution to this golden conversation:

A pbr says Rice did it heelside falling leaf.

TRice rides goofy. I highly doubt he's slay this gnarly of a line switch, so at worst, it was probably a toeside sideslip. But really, sideslipping gnarly, high-consequence lines is more of Jeremy Jones' bag...

Waiting for the copycat threads...

"Cody Townsend ate my sandwich out of the work fridge."
"Cody Townsend took my parking space."
"Cody Townsend sat in my seat even though I called shotgun first."

"Cody Townsend took my mom's cherry even though my dad already put a ring on it"

who the fuck names their kid ejac? why not just call him splooge?

E-Jack is short for Eric Jackson. It's a nightmare of a nickname that was pinned to him back in his party days

NDA for a pilot for a ski/snowboard movie is probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. There is nothing proprietary about a mountain. What a joke.

No, Non-Compete Agreements for people making sandwiches is the most ridiculous, legally-binding workplace agreement-related thing I've ever heard of

[pipedream]

Dammit bobby, just when I'd started to move on, you gotta go back and rip the scabs off old wounds.

RIP in peace Paseo. Although, TBH, the owner was a terrible asshole...

[iscariot]

I blame Rob Story.

[grinch]

Just about to show it on CNN. Prime time poach

[JustBe]

Six pages now of "butthurt" people "whining" and "complaining" about other "butthurt" people "whining" and "complaining". Which ones worse.

[WaistDeepGroomers]

I think if brain farms film is a three year deal the hurt will be less than it would be if it came out today. But thinking about Higher, if someone had ridden that Nepal line three days inside of when Jeremy rode it and put out their movie a year ahead, we would have been in full scramble mode given that was the climax of the plot a full year before the actual film came out.


At any rate, thanks Cody and MSP dudes for weighing in, I know we feel priveledged to hear your perspective in here.

Not on TGR. C'mon guy

And there's people like you whining and complaining about all the "butthurt" people "whining" and "complaining" about other "butthurt" people "whining" and "complaining". Can we all agree we are all losers? Thanks.

[shroom]

i think we just went meta.
i need some drugs now.

[powder11]

You snooze... you lose

[IVplay]

wait till the footage of me slaying ontario groomers drops...

[Doremite]

I don't really get why any of this matters and Cody should not be put in a position to "defend" anything here. Skiing folks. It is supposed to be fun. I have no idea if skiing such a line could possibly be fun but I sure as hell know I was stoked watching it. The more these athletes have total freedom to get on with their bad selves everyone wins.

Alka: Does MSP give you a warm up lap before a line like that or is that pretty much the eye opener?
