FTA2R Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 hi, i'm making a little home made movie and I'd like to include video footage of solid riding from hardbooters in the following terrain types: trees, bumps, steeps, chutes, getting airs - basically anything along those lines. all you need to do is send me your raw footage (or send me a link if you know of one) and i will try to include you if the clip adheres to the following guidelines: 1. non .mov (quicktime) preferred 2. riding / technique does not have to be perfect, but should be smooth 3. camera work should be relatively smooth, decent resolution, etc. 4. rider name and email you can email me off of BOL or post the clip on the web. that's about it for now. If I use your footage you will be credited at the end of the film. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I have a super short segment of me ridin semi-fresh on an axis...a little "missed grab" air in there, too... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedzilla Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 You can ride these things on non-groomed slopes? Huh. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I can get you some rocking bump footage once the season hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 The only "rad" footage you'd ever get of me is when I auger in the nose in fresh snow and do an impromptu McTwist. Happens more often than I wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 ouch. did that last year. no fun at all. damn near broke my front leg right at the boot, fouled up my lead shoulder, AND hit my head! not fun :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I'm not sure how long I can keep up this sport to be honest. Last year, I broke 3 ribs and suffered a mild concussion. I also went two-planking for the first time in 4 seasons and actually enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuffy Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 So you'll be selling your boards? (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Although on the side topic of skiing, with new skis, I did sorta like it last season. Not as good, but ... safer. Much, much safer. And easier.

FTA2R Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 spectacular crash footage (folding nose) etc encouraged!!!! Neuffy, statistically speaking (purely numbers, that is), injury rates for skiing vs. snowboarding are about the same. I believe the term "snowboarding" encompasses all disciplines. I think consensus is that generally speaking (so hardbooters might not be included in this statement) , skiiers go faster than snowboarders- or at least have teh ability to and still be in control. Interesting that you find what we do so much more dangerous than skiing- is there a specific reason other than speed and putting all your eggs in one basket (edge)?

skategoat Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Could I interest you in a 111 Burton Chopper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Although on the side topic of skiing, with new skis, I did sorta like it last season. Not as good, but ... safer. Much, much safer. And easier. I'm curious about that thinking too, Neuffy. I don't think it applies to me: I can pretty much guarantee that I'm 1,000 times safer on a board than on skis, both for myself and the people around me. (Pause here for mental image of Dan careening through a knot of Ski School students at 30 mph, poles flailing wildly, barely maintaining balance on one ski. As long as you're imagining, assume I've got my face painted like my avatar too - it would be rather appropriate.) Do detachable bindings make things all that much safer?

nekdut Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hey Barry, Have you asked Sean from snowperformance about the footage from camp? He said he would be releasing DVDs or something eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgang Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Could I interest you in a 111 Burton Chopper? How does that fish ride with the plates on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTA2R Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 hey Nekdut Neil, what's up man? ironically, i volunteered my services earlier this week. he has been slammed, has not had a chance to work on em. i can likely get teh mini dv's encoded, but i don't have a physical dvd burner, so the files would be viewable on web or a data cd. not sure at this point what he's going to do. Barry ps i got at least 1 pic of you -on lift chair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Could I interest you in a 111 Burton Chopper? no, but what about the board 2nd from the right...is that a 4WD? youre always tryin to get "steals" so why dont you sell me that one for cheap!

skategoat Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 jd: I wish I knew. I bought that Fish for a trip to Mammoth that go cancelled at the last minute. Then I dragged it with me twice out west in anticipation of some powder and got zero snowfall. Maybe next year. D-Sub: I have a tentative deal on that board with a friend of mine. He's going to try it out first thing this winter. If he doesn't like it, I'll give you first shot at it. Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
