Ski Sundown Gunbarrel bumps Gathering II 3/15/09

[2knees]

its taking 15 minutes just to publisht this to my own pc.

If anone feels like they were left out, i apologize. i basically took all the footage i had and ran with it. there were so many people milling about at the top of the lines, it was damn hard to figure this out. I'm pissed cause i didnt see much footage of 180 and he was absolutely killing it today.

Brian, Tim and Jeff were skiing much faster then they normally do also. you guys looked real good today.

I saw Brian's footage of Jeff: dude, you look like you've been skiing bumps with them all season!

Dayum. Were those two lines that extend all the way down as sick as they look? Coverage still looks great!

Yes, but it was really more like one line. What you're seeing is the sides of that line. Coverage still is great, there really wasn't much more ground showing than there was last Sunday.

i keep getting hung up trying to publish to my pc. this is my 3rd and final attempt. if this doesnt work, i'm gonna split it in half and try 2 vids. i think its just too big.

I don't have the ability to easily edit the .mov video files from my point and shoot, so I'll just post up a few of the better ones. These will be a teaser until Pat gets his video up.

Spencer:

Thanks Brian. Spencer is going to love it.

Spencer was ripping it up today!

I'm not sure, it looks like one of our crew though.

Another great day on Gunbarrel. Nice to meet more of my internet bumping friends. Spencer had a great time with everyone. I am concerned we had 2 spectacular Sundays in a row. Will we get 3?

I spoke to Chris S at the end of the day. The competition is now back to mens and womens divisions,but anyone can choose to enter the mens division to go after the big prize.

I was talking to Chris S. about the format for the bump comp and he really liked my idea that the we have the top 24 qualify instead of a top 16. The twist to my idea to get the brackets to work is that the top 8 will get a first round bye. The remaining 16 battle it out head to head. The 8 left of that 16 then ski the top 8.

If there is a really huge turn out don't rule out 32 qualifiers.

aiight. video is uploading to vimeo as we speak. i did my best to edit out the bobbles and such but i left in once nice crash. of myself of course. its a bit shaky, what a shock, but the skiing is out of this world. I know we take heat for doing this but this video was a freakin pain in the ass to do.

the music was an afterthought. i was spent by the time it came to picking that.

 

[bvibert]

Madroch (sorry dude, there's a little bobble in there, but it's not bad)

You can barely make out Mike pulling a Cossack here:

I was too far away from the kicker and the camera has no zoom in video mode.. :angry:

 

[bvibert]

Mr Evil with a spread off the kicker:

 

[bvibert]

Hell yeah that was a rad day!

Since it hasn't been said yet.........there were alot of rippers out there today. Pretty sweet to be standing at the top of a line with 10+ people.

Only pulled out my crappy camera once so all I got was this 1:30 video showing just some of the crew:

Nice video. I didn't realize you had gotten any footage of me. You got a little bit of Mr Evil in Beasted's segment too. Nice music choice.
