So just like the underarmour contest, is there any concession for those people who had to rush their editing to get an entry in before the deadline?

rush? am i the only one who thinks people are being ridiculous about this? this competition was announced like 6 weeks ago, i saw it on NS and started working on it then, why is everyone complaining when they just werent paying attention 6 weeks ago? in my opinion its ridiculous that they even extended it, if this was like a real comp you guys would have all showed up at the mountain on time.... how is this different?

its different because they realized that not many entries were going to be posted because all of the road trips were going to happen on spring break, in which most colleges went the last two weeks.

If you want to know what I find ridiculous, its that someone who has their own production company is out begging strangers to create accounts for them to vote for their video. If this was a real comp you wouldnt be out begging the judges to vote for you.

no the alex martini kid is right...a deadline should be a deadline...if you make an edit and rush to get it in on a certain date and then they extend the deadline because everyone on ns is lazy, i would be pissed too. i would have wanted to know about that extended time before hand so i would not of had to rush my edit and so i could take that time to make my edit better. film company or no film company, extending deadlines is bullshit.

dude the only reason i asked people to vote for me is cuz i worked my ass off and spent shitloads of money making this thing and travelling and im stoked on the comp but i might not even get judged because the only people making accounts really are the people in the comp, so theres only like 8 votes on each video and they practically all have 3s and 4s, its just a weird system

A road trip can be to anywhere pretty much...  you dont need a week off school to make one.  Hell, most college kids have 3-4 day weekends, plenty of time to make one. 

I also busted my ass to make an edit in time and was kinda disappointed when they extended it... although i wasnt really surprised it happened after the under armour one was extended first.

And I also agree with martini...nobody is rating these on the superu website, i feel lame but i kinda have to ask friends to rate them all.  Go HERE:

Paper Route, if you really wanted to win this competition for 3 grand you couldve skipped 3 days of classes and added that to your 4 day weekend like any other college student to get the footage. Its not fair that these guys have put such hard work into this to make the best edits possible.

Everyone had 6 weeks to do it, and like Reed said a roadtrip can just be a 4hour drive to a ski area or jib while filming your trip out there and then film whatever or wherever your riding.

IMO thats just not fair for the other competetors.

And as far as the judging goes i hope the judges pick the best edit and dont rely on the votes.

Idono about you, but I dont take 12 hours a semester and have 4 day weekends every weekend.

I simply made a point that many colleges spring break was the week of the deadline, and seeing as many of the east coast kids would be making trips out west, it only seemed logical to extend the deadline. The people running the competition obviously agreed with me and extended the deadline. Now if you guys were so rushed to get your edits done then how about you take your edit down and fix it.


I still dont get why you guys are all bitching about how no one is voting for your video, but dont want to allow more time for more votes to come in.

We Didn't have the time to filkm alot during our trip...Laurent got an injury on the second day so it cut the time we had planned to do our " road trip " shots or interview and voice over...I know its not very ROAD TRIP but in general it is.

Contrary to Paper_Route's belief, whenever spring break was had nothing to do with the deadline extension. It was because there weren't a ton of entries and Super U wanted to get a couple more. Simple as that.
