It's got some old clips and some newer ones. I tried to cut out more of the riding parts unless they looked good or actually kind of showed how fast we were going. Let me know how much you guys think it sucks :cheeky4:

Like this post? All you are doing is throwing up a semantical argument. I don't gopro. I'll ride with one and film my friends who actually are really good(if they ask, but we really don't bother), plus I actually have the skills to ride and hold a pole at the same time.

I've hammered on this thread too hard and tried to dial it back a bit, but I stand by what I've said already, I'm not gonna be a bigger dick just because you wanna argue.

This thread is for the very purpose to which I am destined to fight it seems, but I won't be baited by you sir :D

edit: wait is this me getting baited? godamnit!!! go watch something funny or crude...look here comes TT......

I'm gonna side with klinger on this one. I see a TON of kids that can barely ride, out there swinging their gopoles around, not paying attention to their surroundings or trying to improve their riding. Edits are cool when you're good. Otherwise just watch them at home... or better yet, have somebody film you so you can watch it and see what you need to improve on. Just my 2 cents.

You've got a point about the swinging pole ('cos it's a problem when they're getting in peoples way or being a nuisance). But the whole "put the camera away and progress instead" doesn't wash with me. Snowboarding is about enjoying yourself, in whatever way makes you happy. If someone gets a kick from filming and watching themselves back then more power to them. Me, I want to strike a better balance between the two. Other's couldn't care less about any filming and are all about progression. To each their own (once they're not getting in the way or being a danger to anyone), no?

Just think if anyone can avoid getting too upset and also decide to leave their gopros at home next time. The huge smile on their face from the progression of linking turns or hitting some good snow on a steeper face without the distraction and the epiphany thereof...I will help some poor soul! maybe just 1....and crush like 1000s others lol......

It must be a generational thing. I don't see what's "fun" about filming yourself falling every other turn. or, for that matter, putting one on your helmet and then firing down every run straight as an arrow, eventually eating shit and sliding on your face for 200 yards. I guess, as long as they are only endangering themselves, i'm not overly worried about it, i just don't understand it.
:dunno:

I have both a helmet mount and a pole mount, and have used both at different times. For me it's a training thing. I don't do "edits", I just watch the original uncut vid. It was through watching my first pole-mount video that I realized how little edge i was using, for instance. Since then, been working on getting the angles up on my board.

And the videos help a little in the off-season with withdrawal.

As for the point about people who are waving their poles around obliviously, I'd bet they're pretty oblivious even when they aren't carrying hardware.

I'm actually making my first edit, Instead of watching TV I bought some editing software and have been playing with it at night. It's kinda fun.

It's getting old going through all my footage though. I really need to remember to shut off the camera during our safety meetings and chairlift rides.
Mine is all POV footage though.. Sometimes a friend followed me so I got some decent park and tree runs. Not to interested in getting a pole though.

it's about saying hey I love this thing we do said:
This right here, it's about bragging rights & rubbing it in your friends faces:yahoo:

Not about how great you are:thumbsdown:, but how great it was:thumbsup:

I don't care who you are, if someone shows you a vid of the perfect day.
You/I/they are super jealous, cause I know, how fucking amazing those days are. That's just how it works.

Cause that's what friends are for.

I would highly suggest they invest in a chest mount.. They're hitting people all over when they aren't even holding the pole. I just shake my head at this stuff. Not a very smart idea for a beginner.

Anyway way to start verging the topic away from the video and onto Donuts head. I like it!:thumbsup:

Thanks dawg, hugs & kisses from my end too.

That looks like a wicked setup:thumbsup:

Makes me think, what the fuck is up with my shitty mtn?:dunno:

Days before they shut down for the year, they were bragging about how this was the best spring skiing in years.
Which it was/is.
When they shut down, they were #5 on this list.
Who Got the Most Snow in 2012/13? | SnowBrains.com
Last week even some of the lower mtn's got snow.
They are still tied for 12th with 423 inches, so just a cunt hair over 35 feet deep.

They could be making a killing right now,:dunno:
Maybe not by having the whole mtn open, fully staffed like mid season:unsure:

But come on, they have more than one short chair & they are almost totally shaded from the sun.
How expensive could it be to have one chair open, with a few jumps?
There is probably between 20-40 people working up there right now anyway.
With no money coming in.

These pics are just proof...
If you build it, we will come.

Fuck, now I'm even more pissed than I was when they shut down:RantExplode:

Me thinks, Tony Montana is going to light up their Facebook page, again:thumbsup:

Fuck, that guy's a dink.:giggle:
