Thats right, Fischer has hooked us up with some pairs of skis to give you guys, and so we're going to have the fourth in our series of now hugely anticipated online contests! 

Rules are simple, you've got to do one trick on a booter that you constructed with your buddies.   No park jumps allowed!   It can be in the BC, at a resort, in your back yard, off a roof... you name it its all good. 

Now remember kids, DO NOT go into the Backcountry without proper equipment and training.  That is reeeeeeealy stupid.  Plus its not really worth it to die for a pair of skis.

Anyways, get out there, build something ghetto, sick or just plain silly and get your videos uploaded! 

Contest runs until next Wednesday!

well today was the first chance i've had since the contest started to go hit anything, and luckily it worked out and i posted it! yay! i do apologize for the lack of ride out footage but it was stomped and i rode away, until i hit an ice chunk at least.

i know that maybe i shouldn't talk, though you can see some of my landing, but there are a bunch of entries where you cannot see the landing AT ALL. anf i personally feel that we shouldn't be rating just what is done in the air, but obviously how well it is landed, if it is landed, because anyone can go huck themselves.

yea word, if it is legit, then give it a good rating. i usually rate the one fairly high that i think is best and then go down from there.

Yeah this one is getting a ton of entries... I'm stoked for the next one too! 

I'm going to close the contest at the end of the day today, so there's still time!

I will also download the results again and make sure there wasn't cheating... I think we're going to build in an automatic system to take out the cheating results.. they're super easy to pick out.

I'm gonna go and  be the one to bitch about it.

Read the rules, and make sure your entry respect all of them.

-No slow motion or any other fancy editing tricks.One trick, one shot as raw as it gets. 
 


even if you think the combination of thopse two angles makes it that much sickter, just use one of them so it's the same for everyone.

 with a little editing nothing fancy

(Concerning  Booter fun)    Sorry NS I didn't mean to do anything against the rules. It was a last minute thing, and I failed to carefully read all the rules, like a noob!!! so vote accordingly.

uplaoding a vid that was filmed sooner during the season in the last minutes of the contest isnt something that sounds right to me.
just my 2 cents
