not everyone wears tight ass earth tone arterycs and skis with a nalgene bottle attached to their EMS backpack.
think about it. The clothing companies are only going to give their athletes what they want them to wear.Quote:

edit...:D at Tate's comment above^
Oh no? Shit :(

when i see someone's ass hanging out of their ski pants or when they walk like they just shit themselves cuz their pants are too fuckin big, thats where i draw the line. i dont give a shit what other skiers wear besides that.
jon olsson' pink suit is gay tho. he looks like a female model half the time.
hold on, you're saying the athletes dont get a choice of what gear they want from their sponsors? im talking about clothing too. they just give them one pair of pants and one jacket with no other options?
isnt' it so they stand out real nice in photos and such?
the cinematography / framing / shot selection is gorgeous. Really looking forward to this film after seeing the first minute alone. Solid work.
Where's the teaser for "Pull"?
Tate, I was talking about whole films not teasers, so there is no need to call me a moron, you cocksucker.
Look at the line up of Oakley wintersports clothes, they are mostly pretty cool and not a lot of the gear is bright neon one pieces. The dudes are choosing to wear the dumbshit looking gear. Almost every brand out there has a majority of clothes that do not look like clown suits, I'm suggesting the dudes shop from that end of the rack and they won't look so stupid. There's no accounting for taste, certainly, but if you don't want to look back at yourself and say "why did I dress so foolishly?" then make better choices today. As for the suggestion that it is "punk" that is fucking redonkulous, it may be some perverted mutation of a quasi punk reference in the same way AFI is a "punk" band, but punk it ain't.
yeah, and you probably think that all oakley athletes always wear their THUMP 2 sunglasses because they're cool. Sponsors pretty much tell you what to wear. So, if its a pow day and you think that your Dynastar legend PRO's would be a better ski to ride, you might have to use your troublemakers because that's what your team manager wants in the film. You know whats really weird? some athlete clothing you cant buy if you wanted to. its just for thier athletes.Quote:

Nice MSP ... some goosebumps and good song selection. Overlap with "Push" and "Coming Soon" graphic in credits ... no likey. Spectacular cinematography, angles.
Jon Olsson wears pink cause, well ... not sure. Pretty sure Bode and top heli-guides don't have to and won't wear pink.
Great to see MSP/TGR style diffs ... thank you all at both flick companies for the porn - from Miller to Stump et al ... awesome dedication, hope you make $$$ too.
5 or so months away from the goods ... we're blessed.

plaid camo onepieces are fun. doubt i'd wear one. I don't think i'm steezy enough. and midget will tell you i'm definitely NOT steezy enough (jerk!) ;) haha, but it's funny how some people have their panties shoved so far up their arse about the neon and the one piece. have a little F-in fun in your life!
My mom who is 50+ and who rips (see previous TRs) said:
"Ein Wahnsinn, der Film. Die fahren voll die Lawinen aus und die Sprünge sind unglaublich ... Irre!"
(Translation: "Madness, the film. They're totally riding out the avalanches and the jumps are incredible ... Crazy!")
I guess, that just about sums it up ...
In answer to a previous question: I think the switch double backflip is Rory Bushfield (he double-ejected on that jump during the X-Games).
Also, here's a mirror for all of you with a slow connection: Push Teaser
EDIT: Wolfmother totally rules - the song is "Mind's Eye".
dude, are you kidding me? Hypersensitive, much?Quote:

Never mind the clothing, what's up with the duo-skiing:frown: . More then one skier at a time in pow, just looks like crap. Frickin 80s if anything
I thought the duo-skiing was awesome. Especially with the added complications of slough management. And it's not like the first guy tracks out the mountain...there's still plenty of pow for the second guy.Quote:

Thanks for the mirror , Franz. Got >350kb/s, which is nice.

Just rewatched it. When I first watched is yesterday, my reaction was decidedly 'meh' - yeah it had some nice shots, but it seemed all too samey.
Rewatching it, I liked it a lot more - don't know why. The Big Mountain stuff looks v. strong, and any film with Hugo, Shane, Ingrid and Douglas is pretty much gonna fucking rock.
Now I'll have to wait until the TGR trailer to see which ski film I'm gonna buy this winter...
Speaking of which, does anyone else feel a precident has been set for the other ski film makers? If they want to compete in the trailer market, they're going to have to show a lot more of their hand than before, due to the quality of the MSP clips. Sure TGR is going to have Seth, and Pierre's jump, but they're going to have tp have a really strong showing in the trailer (though I suppose most of you ski porn addicts will buy both...)

I'm pretty sure every photographer is pretty stoked about the neon shit. It sure beat's the black and earth tones. Black and earth tones, they might as well not even show up cause you can't see shit.
neon fucking rules
thats what i said. i propse that the photog mob managed to shoot a comple of incriminated photos of oakley's bigwigs, and has amciuosly blackmailed them into an emphasis on phot-friendly, eye-sickening neon...its just crazy enough to be right, eh?Quote:

Personally, I hate it when you see that parkrats pants are so huge they have shredded the bottoms into confetti, but they don't care because mommy and daddy will buy them new ones, in plaid.Quote:

Time for some therapy boys, I think you would feel better about your sexuality if you get some help, I can see that. Its ok, there are a lot people like you out there that have a difficult time with coming out, we will still except you at TGR.Quote:

That was a weird double post of mine by the way, I've never seen the double post with only a partial post first. Odd.
Oh, and the trailer finally dowloaded, and I have to say it was fucking awesome. Mark Abmas 180 landing switch on that spine blew me away. And that switch double back was fucking STOMPED. I mean could not have been landed any better. Its nice to see the jibbers to something other than spins.
Hope somewhere will stock this in the UK. Play.com have Tangerine Dream and a few others up now so I won't have to sell my last remaining testicle :)
"Tangerine Dream (Snowboarding)" Oh no they did not just say that.

Nice eclectic mix too, wski106 and Blizzard of Aahhhs (£10!) :)Quote:
