The FIFTY

[Core Shot]

^^^ holy shitballs.
One of the best ski movies in years.
Those girls rip.
But the writing and storytelling was hilarious.

That kick was weak. But not as weak as your pelvic floor. Hah!

PS. [edit shouldn’t spoil it] ending was a plot twister. Didn’t see that coming.

“I think that being in the mountains is a process of destroying your ego. It's good to push yourself, but live to enjoy the moments. So much of being a storyteller is showing people that it's not about the number, it's about the friends. I’d rather fail or back off and be high-fiving afterward with my friends.” -Alka/Cody

Great interview.

Bump. Elyse and Jackie's new film dropped last week for free on RedBull TV, give it a watch: https://www.redbull.com/us-en/films/here-hold-my-kid ....

"It's fucking bullshit!"

Best.Movie.Ever.

Hold My Kid was great.

[TripleT]

^Just watched it last night as well. Very enjoyable.

But holy shit- Elyse was inches away from falling into that shrund!

[barkcity]

When is the next episode of The Fifty scheduled to release, or are we done for this season?

Might there be some other short clips posted from lines skied during the Polar Star trip?

Cody Townsend and Crazy Karl...are they the same person? They look very similar, and I've never seen them in the same room together.

Pretty much a new standard at this point as it's a throw-back to decades-old formulas. Ripping world-class skiing & filming complimented with absolutely hilarious writing and acting.

But this time it's better because it's mom. It's not a "rad skier" being self-deprecating, it's an entire industry taking the piss out of itself. Reine looked genuinely annoyed while Cody looked genuinely like he was trying to win Reine's approval. "Did you have coffee this morning?" "Yeah. I like it."

Major hats off to this entire team.

Mom shreds, yo. She throws down big lines, crashes hard, then throws down big lines again... all post-kid. Mom shreds, yo.

P.S. the dirty diaper into Elyse's face was downright hysterical. I could smell it. Popcorn aroma, the right color. Everything. So genuine. Nothing about this film felt fake. And I guess it takes good friends to feel comfortable enough with each other to show how real a story can be. I could feel the friendship between these families. That's dope shit.

I watched it last night with my wife and we enjoyed it, both as skiers and parents. Jackie and Elyse did some ripping skiing (moms throwing backies???) and Cody+Reine's cameos were funny. Good stuff and worth the watch.

This was f’n great. So funny, ripping skiing.

[subtle plague]

So congratulations to jeremy Jones on scoring the Power powder parent Deal. He EARNED it.
This cody dude does not seem like he could maintain any ski related social media following. Elyse should ditch him asap.

[::: :::]

Tapped right in to the fun vibe — I enjoyed it!
Not self-serious or even self-consciously pandering…just fun!

Yeah. I don’t think he’s even the best skier in his household so not sure why she keeps him around.

+1 more for “Here Hold My Kid”. I think when the diaper came out of the pocket “why do you have that?” was genius. Great work

[MakersTeleMark]

I guess you have to have kids to find the majority of the film remotely funny, but the skiing was good and the industry needs to target that demographic I suppose. I'm glad they have found a place to still fit in and pay the rent.

[bennymac]

I don’t have kids. I thought the movie was really well done and funny. My wife laughed a bunch of times and she finds most ski/bike films intolerable.

Kudos to the writers and producers and of course the talented skiers and actors. My wife must have said “this is really well done!” ten times while watching it.

[Buke]

Any idea where you can rent/buy Le Diamant des Alpes? I can find the others, but this one I'm having trouble with!

You probably found it but it looks like you can rent it through Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/ondemand/diamantdesalpes)

[yeahman]

I liked the kid movie. MTM probably missed most of the jokes as they come at you pretty fast and deadpan, and there's no laugh track. I mean it was silly and goofy, but at least it was different. And the skiing was good.

[nyskirat]

Hold My Kid is hilarious.

rReally well done

[yeahman]

So are there any more episodes coming this year?

[Ørion]

Probably the most trivial dumb question but...where did Cody find a white gopro helmet mount?

I might be making a dumb assumption here, but I was assuming it wasn't a random Chinese aliexpress/Amazon knock-off.

Yeah, it was great. Watched last night with the wife(blue square skier) and she also liked it. Those were some A+ dad jokes.

Yeah, the surf mounts are a backup option but the one he's running is different style:



The black marks makes me wonder if its just a painted curved mount and we're seeing the paint wear through though.
