A mate sent me a link to this trailer for a new snowboard movie. Looks sick.
^^ That trailer is AWESOME. I got sent this about a week ago… in all forms of film making, people are stepping up. Technology gets better, editing gets better. Eye candy for every one.
The cameras for it were apparently worth a quarter of a million…
not bad for a bunch of dirtbag snowboarders 
holy. fucking. shit
edit - just realised, the guy i got my insanely cheap board off (still in plastic) is called Jake Blauvelt…
didn’t meet the guy, but i still think that’s pretty cool 
Amazing footage, redbull really are smart with their marketing.
yes, they are…
(it’s funny when you think the olympics used to be for amateurs only… and you could be barred from participating for ever having accepted any kind of prize money)
I guess it is for some sports still. Isn’t Soccer like that?
If the winter Olympics was Amateur’s it would be boring.
Did you hear the interview they had with the Aussie guy that was in the last olympics in the pipe.
They asked him about his training and where he goes and stuff. He was all " Mate, I work full time and ride when I can. I don’t have no superpipe in the wilderness built for me" It was great.
I think I just totally got his quote wrong but it was something like that.

^Soccer is basically an U23 tournament plus 3(?) older players allowed.
This is really only so the World Cup doesn’t get trumped 2 years after it gets played (or the Euro’s are overshadowed)
Seeing as this is a thread 80% about Japan, it is terrible to see what is happening over there at the moment. I feel for them!
Hey Lee,
I have been mesmerized but the news footage and feel for the people involved. It is so destructive that it is hard to believe. Planet Earth hates us all for some reason.
Probably shot on a Red camera. A mate just spent two years shooting his surf movie on one they are Amazing.
He allso is on the Redbull team.
Looking at the snow cams this morning got me a little excited.
Can’t wait to bust out some Cross Country snowboarding!
F@CK I can’t wait to get back to Japan next Jan… and Queenstown in a couple of months…
That is up there with fix push for sure.
Just finished booking two weeks in NZ cant wait.
when he boardslides the chairlift cables… i jizzed in my pants
who is keen for this season? Where are you all headed?
I’m headed to NZ, does anyone have any tips? Probably heading to queenstown in late june / july… best pow? best family resort?
im headed for the first two weeks in aug i just wing it over there and see what the weather does as each resort faces different directions and catches different snow.
Just buy day passes i have ridden Cardrona, Coronet, And Remarkables but will try mt hut and ohau this year may be some club runs around hanmer springs aswel.
Dayne I’m over there at the same time… Staying at Reevers Lodge.
Def will be boarding Cardrona.
Can’t wait hopefully it will be a good year…
will there be regular / good snowfall by end june / early july in nz? I tried asking this on snowboard.net.au and other snow forums but they’re all inactive…
There is always good snow there.
Best pow- Treble cone or Remarkables. Family Mt- Cardrona (but good pipes)
Coronet is low and crowded. Had a ball at Mt Hutt though.
