Not typically into 'urban' ski footage, but this is pretty darn good

That was pretty cool. I've seen many urban scenes, but nothing like that before.

I'm proud of myself for this.. I thought the Town looked like the one from the movie "Roxanne" (which I haven't seen in 20 years) and sure enough it's the same place, Nelson BC

Aww, I was just there, wish I knew that before going, would have watched it before going.

But yeah, that was pretty cool.

I think the skis need a tune now!!!!!

Na, he gave them a "stone grind" himself. The sparks look cool. When I saw this in the beginning of the season, I saw "BC Transit" on the bus, that's what our buses have on them, stands for Broome County here at home.

Yeah that was by far the best segment from last year. It did make the rounds here a few months ago. But since I watched it 100 times back then, I sure don't mind watching it a few more.

Oh, but if nordic is more your speed you'll like this one even better....

^^^ That's fantastic. Actually, kind of, uh, classic.

Its actually been lined up Friday Night Video on Ski Mad World since last Fall and should coincide with JP Auclair's birthday sometimes this Summer.

Location includes Rossland, Trail and Nelson.

FNV used to be every Fridays, but I decided to slowdown this Winter and do it only every last Friday of the month as it was taking too much time and didn't allow me to work on other stuff.

Here is an awesome urban setting vid, more amateur like. Thinking outside the box stuff.
