Yeah, but east coast woods skiing is quite different from west coast. West coast films just don't show skiing like that.

You wouldn't see any snowboarding at loon on the west coast.. It's a video targeting riders on the east coast who are familiar with what goes on up here.

But it still looks like the west coast. Maybe I'm just ignorant but parks all park looks the same to me, regardless of location.

Looks like this video is puts more focus on east coast riders than the mountains themselves. Tree skiing is not nearly as different as you think except for maybe the background.

nice job on the teaser-looks like good riding.

exactly. and thanks

Looks like some nice footage. I'd be reluctant to buy it because if its short length and I'd rather see more off trail footage, than park, but too each there own. Looks like you did a nice job

thanks. there's a lot of off-mountain urban riding and some pow shots in there too. it's got a bit of everything.

The Meathead movies are pretty short too, about 45 minutes, I think Schooled is about 35 minutes. Granted the more recent films have bonus movies on the discs but the early ones didn't and I think they all were worth the money.

Really? I only own Born from Ice and seems longer than 45 minutes, definitely so with the bonus footage. Perhaps it is only 45 mins or so. Seems longer

Just looked at my Wanderland case and it's 47 minutes, not including the bonus movie, the other discs are downstairs so I didn't look at them.

+1

For the money, Meatheads just don't offer enough content to justify the prices, IMO, especially when half of that 45-50 minutes is park and urban rail. Which as Austin suggested can be done any where. There is a reason the major film companies do not shoot footage in the east. If they are going to do park and rail and backcountry jumps, they might as well do it where they can have sensational scenery and better snow. East coast movie outfits will always have a difficult time producing a product that is in demand because the locations are just not as dramatic as the west. I think what Austin is getting at is that the Meatheads really differentiate themselves and show footage that no other movie outfit produces whereas this production is not quite so unique, it just focuses on east locations with similar action. The difference is less location and more approach and attitude.

Regardless, always great to see east coast production outfits and $5 for 35 minutes is a BARGAIN compared to the dollars per footage ratio of most movie companies.

goos park stuff, but this is not a video (at least from the teaser) that show cases what the east coast is all about. i have been riding on the east coast since i needed certification at stratton ( still have my badge ). if you are trying to differentiate the east from the west by just showing all park. then that what they ll think anyway. i would like to love to see someone pull a switch 5 off some the places on the chin at stowe. you need to expand what people think of riding in the east.
