Way to get after it, some of those hits were hudge

**shit sandwich** · 02-02-2010, 07:04 PM

Nice footy man!!!

**single** · 02-02-2010, 07:18 PM

After re-watching that video, cuz it is really fun to watch, I have one piece of advice. Dont be afraid to hit this stuff with more speed. You will have more forward momentum that will lessen the vertical impact, and you wont hit as many bombholes. Plus you will get WAY more chicks

**ectreeskier11** · 02-02-2010, 07:22 PM

thanks for the advice, i actually tried to take some hi speed runs today without hesitating, so hopefully that will come. i am still just stoked on being in UT and sacking up in my first winter!

Your landings are already much better than in the last video you posted. I'm not one to give advice but it looks like you're making steady improvement

**ectreeskier11** · 02-02-2010, 08:41 PM

heh, bout to post something from today, landings better than this edit, except that my dukes finally prereleased for the first time after a sweet run down baldy.

**njfreeskier** · 02-02-2010, 08:56 PM

Nice stoke. Thanks for that. I wish I was still shredding there everyday.

Definitely a classic hit at the bird. Skier's right is bigger, gnarlier hit in my opinion. Both are pretty sweet though.

Yeah, tilt it up like 2mm or so. I kept scrolling up when watching subconsciously thinking it would make a difference haha.

**ectreeskier11** · 02-02-2010, 09:08 PM

noted on the angle, i kind of mess around with it a lot so it changes from shot to shot i think, but i will try and keep it higher. skiers right can definitely be taken bigger.

**squirrelmurphy** · 02-02-2010, 09:27 PM

You're a good skier, congrats. Nice hits all around. Rolling into stuff blind is never easy, but I think its one of the most noticeable improvements you (I) can make in your skiing. Good shit, keep it coming.

**Deep Days** · 02-03-2010, 01:39 AM

I'm gonna seek you out and ski with you sir, as I like your style! Good shit all around.

And I'm gonna need to know where 5:37 took place--prime b-flip territory.

4:27 double was just... awesome.

And ditto what everyone is saying about the 5:28 hit. Large!

Please keep posting. I'm getting super stoked for Mardi Gras weekend at the Bird!!!

that's some stupid fucking thing i hit in the bookends, under the highest part of the traverse after the saddle looking into american fork. i thought it was around 20ish, said fuck it, the take off sucked and then i noticed that there was a rock about 30ish down maybe, the hit ended up being maybe 35 top to bottom. not recommended, i know i won't be doing it again any time soon. femur is definitely on my list though, i want to see someone hit it safely first...

**Ender** · 02-03-2010, 03:34 PM

That was ultra dope. Nice work!

**Gnarj** · 02-04-2010, 09:01 PM

Good meeting you today EC. Sorry I just bailed so suddenly I looked at my watch and had to book it to make it to class on time. Thanks for the tomahawk on baldy. See ya around.

**ectreeskier11** · 02-04-2010, 09:09 PM

hahaha nice to meet ya, sorry i didn't find that rock first. met up with a buddy at the bottom and missed you.

**ectreeskier11** · 02-23-2010, 08:20 PM

bump... got about a 3 minute, all BC clip put together right now, debating whether i want to post it as is (it's not my favorite, but i think you guys will like it), or keep adding BC footage when i get it and then post a longer one, or just another separate. what say the masses?

**ectreeskier11** · 02-23-2010, 08:33 PM

k holding on to it, look for an epic BC edit in the next few days, and if the forecast holds maybe even an inbounds one (got some donner partys to use, jj's aren't doing so hot and will probably only be making BC appearances from here on out).

**paj** · 02-23-2010, 10:37 PM

what happened to the jj's?

**rdennhs** · 02-23-2010, 10:38 PM

did u buy those donners that were in gear swap? looked like a great deal.

**ectreeskier11** · 02-23-2010, 10:46 PM

nah borrowing some DP's, JJ's split to the core on the underfoot sidewall, real sketch and still maybe a chance i can warranty but i really don't have the luxury of pulling the dukes and not having a touring setup.

**rdennhs** · 02-23-2010, 10:49 PM

post that vid

My 10 yr old says, "That should be called Gigantor."

**BestofShow** · 02-25-2010, 09:39 AM

Great footage. Definitely a lot of fun being had. I was going to add about the angle too, raise it just a little bit. If you're saying each edit is improving, can't wait to see more.

**LucasJackson** · 02-25-2010, 10:45 AM

Man, that was like ski porn... I posted that vid to my facebook profile, I love it. Uh, need a tissue though...

And like everyone's been saying, the hucks look great, and seem a lot bigger than they are. I first started hucking cliffs last ski season and they never, ever looked bigger than when you were perched over them.

I'm taking a week trip to J-Hole in a couple weeks and I just decided I'm gonna rent me one of these. If all goes well, I'll try posting a few myself.
