Figured I'd start this off. Feel free to post yours, as well.
Here's my humble szn ender for this past winter. Shots from our trip in Whistler, Tremblant and local riding back home in Ontario. Gonna miss it terribly, as always :crying:.
Shout out to @Motogp990 for not only being a patient filmer, but for also being the raddest guide/guru for me and my crew during our time at Whis. And is also now someone I'm happy to call a friend and part of the crew (pardon the sap haha). Can't forget about @F1EA also :nerd:.
Szn Ender

*sorry in advance for the vertical filming, forgot to tell Moto to tape in Landscape haha.

LOLL. And man, I really wish I could come back esp since you guys are still getting the goods. Told Moto, would love to do a quick impromptu Whis or Mammoth session even for just a couple days. Read on here that Mammoth is open til July?! Makes sense tho esp having such an insane snow yr.
Much appreciated. Though couldn't push myself as much as I was planning to this szn esp after partially tearing a tendon in my rotator cuff early in the szn that still hasn't healed. Plus, just hurt my knee last wk on that first jump in the vid, landed weird and hurt the lower part of my knee. Only thing I look forward to in the off szn is my chance to recover a bit lol.
Later on I think I will do an actual season edit and fails edit, but here are two I've made so far this season. High is from my 4th day up (stoked to start out the season strong for Season 6!) Girl PowDer is over two days of pow either in Feb or March, I forget. There is certainly some filler in them, but damn I love watching this once the season is winding down!
Awesome edits. Man, the quality of your vids are so good, 4K? The vid editor app on my phone only allows max 720p, even if the footage itself was higher quality .
But ya, just finished chrome casting the vids on my tv, great watch and even better pow slashes. Esp the Girl Pow vid, super sick.The stoke on your face at the end says it all :nerd:. Was hoping to get pow like this when we were in Whis but didn't get lucky with the timing. Where is this btw?
Thanks guys!! That's all I really ever hope, is people see how much I love being up there!!! @GDimac It was at Mt.Hood Meadows. I actually film in 1080p 60fps and I code it into 720 to save space and supposedly better upload to vimeo. Yeah, when I put it on my tv one day I was like OMG!!! I couldn't believe the quality even at 720.

I think vimeo has higher quality overall too. I use youtube because it uploads faster and pops up on my smart tv easier.... Its fun watching videos of people you know, yourself and family.
LOL! I knew someone would mention the music... I've only got a small selection on this computer and it was the first I tried that almost fit properly length wise. I just like the beat/rhythm. I'm not being all angsty, I swear 0
I hate the selfie sticks but a buddy managed to grab some footy from his helmet while following me a couple weeks ago: https://instagram.com/p/BSYwthCDDVf/
Pretty sure people are posting edits not to be critiqued or judged. It's fair game to be sure, but it's really about enjoying what we shredded this season and sharing the stoke. Post your own shit if you don't like we what we got..or our style
ok fuck it. I made these just for myself but I guess I'll share them here. These are horrible, but the music is ok and they are all short videos, so at least it's easy to stomach.
If you like short videos of people just riding normal mellow runs, including kid b-roll footage look here;
This season my old ass decided to get back into jumps after a traumatic crash a few years ago. I was also completely new to park riding so...I'm better at park now than I was when this was made, but it's all I got. So if you like small jumps and shitty grabs along with 50/50 beginner rails then this puppy is for you;
Yep, that's the song, I love it. I missed the viral vids though, I gotta go look for them.
I ride in Michigan, this is my "home" resort about 3.5 hours north of where I live. I'm a weekend warrior so I'm there about 3 weekends a month or so.
This park is called Funland and it's basically their beginner park. It's two lines, each line opens up with two jumps that are mellow 5-footers or so and then a series of 4-5 progressive features that rotate weekly; Ride on boxes, mild gap flat rails, metal tubes, mellow cannons, and an occasional corrugated.
It was perfect for someone like me just starting out.
Thanks for watching man! I couldn't have got half those shots without @SimonBirch ... he was the one in the second blooper going about 35-40 mph and caught the edge lmao!
I spent my entire second season learning switch, which is advice I got from @SnowDogWax when I met him at jay peak - end of my first season. I tried stepping up (again) to down urban rails and sprained my ankle back in December, which put me out for 7 weeks. It's literally all a head game at this point for tricks
Well put together, you got a lot of drone footy eh? And lol Big Sky should thank you for all the free promo they just got. Looks awesome there. Tho, was expecting more shredding but I'm guessing your vision was to capture the whole experience of a shred trip with the crew, I presume ya?
My cousin-in-law made a little edit of our time in Whistler with some of the clips he and my bro took on their go pros. He happens to also be a really good videographer (he does it for a living lol).
@F1EA (orange jacket) and @Motogp990 (yellow helmet) make cameos in this vid, as our gurus/guides around Whis. F1 was the guru for the trees while Moto was the open runs specialist. My fiance, bro, cousin-in-law and buddies had an incredible experience thanks to them. We had the raddest of times, and apres-ski eats/chillage was super fun with them as well. Can't wait to go on more shred trips with the Whis homies.
Anyway, feel free to watch the whole vid if you want. It's not too long, and get to see a little bit of my cuz-in-law's work.
(Shredding starts at 3 mins. And was pleasantly surprised, but thankful when I found out that I was the ender. Starts around the 5:38 min mark )
Cheers:nerd:.

*Link for those that aren't able to play it via Youtube tags:
Sharing these if anyone has the patience.
My technical skills (on the computer and on the hill lol) aren't up to edit standards but this is what coverage I have of my big mountain debut.
2017Red was day 1. Action tapers off at the end as the terrain levels out but just a bit further down the river...
. Rad.
2017Red2a, b and c is one run top to bottom in deteriorating conditions.
