I wonder if anyone is going to hate on how much of their edit wasn't skiing.



Sick edit though, i really enjoyed it. I love it when edits have more than just skiing, adds so much more to the edit.

It won't play for me. It gets to about 2:05 then it stops. It does this on the video page and on the main page and when it is all buffered

CS was more watchable than Montage IMO. It seemed like they shot it all on a really shitty camera. Though they had arguably the best skiing.

EVERYONE WINS!

to be honest i cant understand why everyone is chatting shit about the 4biclown edit. it is exactly what i wanted to see, super sick quality video aswell. so much more enjoyable than you lot are making it out to be. yeah it might be similar to all the other clown school edits but i dont think anyone can say that slow! or fuck! were bad edits. something similar to those is gonna be good. yeah TC's version was kinda cool russel is kook in the best possible way and made that edit what it was but to be honest in terms of just raw skiing it was in no way 'hands down' better than the others. i thought that montage was still sick but just missing something. most opinionated thing ive written on this site.

spark notes: quit moaning about the clown school edit

Yea, I agree 100%.  All 3 edits were incredibly dope, but I thought it was clear that Montage's featured the best skiing/filming hands down.  For my money, the TC edit was the best, simply because there was huge variety and it had such a laid back vibe.  Garrett Russell is the truth.  Period.

Truthfully, I think it comes down to the fact that the huge majority of the kids on this site worship at the altar of the 4biclowns and they were going to win this contest whether their edit was the best or not.  In this case I don't think the clown's edit was the best...mostly for the reason that the filming/editing was so repetitive (as many have said).  I don't think it was so bad that all the hate that heath caught was warranted, but man...a few different angles would have went a looooong way.  I'm a little surprised, because in general, Heath's shit is tight.

For the record, I mean no hate toward the clowns, I really love their edits and crew in general, but their groupies who blindly gargle their nuts are obnoxious.  But, it's to be expected...they're easily the most well  known/loved am crew on the planet, and they're fronted by two of the most popular skiers in the world (TW and HH).  Meh, whatever.  It's just a fun contest, and we all won because we got to see 3 illin' edits for free.  Props to errbody.

Ask anyone, i was running all over the place trying to get the best angles on the jump. Due to the trees on the right side, it was almost impossible to shoot a side shot without loosing the skier in the trees. I shot from the knuckle a bit but only a couple shots worked out from there and then what else is there really? Takeoff and landing shots, which is what i had. I didn't feel like follow caming because i was trying to keep my shots quality. Its hard not to get repetivive when you shoot on one jump for two days and try to make a good banger edit. Needless to day, i'll admit it wasn't my best edit, but it wasn't the best situation either. Oh well.

Yeah it was tough to see the skier at times and I could see how it was nearly impossible to get a shot where you didn't lose the skier. If I was you, I would've tried to get the skiers to wear something that contrasts black.

i really thought it was a great edit. a few different angles couldn't hurt, but honestly i thought the filming was great, the editing was dope, and the skiing was sick. i can't see why people are hating on this edit, in my opinion i thought it was the best..you can go ahead and hate away, but i thougt without a doubt in my mind, it was the best. + the lil wayne song in montage's edit, absolutely killed it for me.

I hear you, and obviously I wasn't there to actually see what the different angles looked like.

That being said, whether it was on you or you simply did the best with what you had, as a viewer the shots still became a bit monotonous and stale. Then again, personally, I would have been bored with 15 unique angles of the same jump, so maybe I'm not the best "critic". Hell, I get bored watching big air comps. If a variety of angles weren't possible, I would have left a bunch of shots on the cutting room floor and produced a shorter edit. I think some shots from the lip and the knuckle would have helped, even if they weren't technically "good" shots. The undesired side effect of shooting from that distance consistently is that everything becomes a bit flat, and you lose scale. Personally, I love follow cams, and I think your follows are usually really good, so yeah, I think snagging a couple would have gone a long way, but hey...it was still tight— definitely nothing to be ashamed of hahaha.

I would have liked to have seen some more jib footy and "playful" shots...ala butters, knuckle tricks, side booters to break up the kicker session. Wasn't there a tiny jump line? I would have loved to have seen some ridiculous trains on smaller features.

I disagree.

Sean, Ware, Timmy's skiing > Parker, Logan's skiing

and the only place where Evan had a problem was his terrible song choice with a Biggie/RHCP mash.

true i didnt even think about that. Guess it works out. I though TS was the best but there could have been just a bit less talking. Although thats kinda what gave it the laid back vibe that made it good and what I like about TS. They always come up with something different and creative.

haha, What?! where did this come from?
dont make an ass outta yourself and try and assume how much I respect or enjoy BIG.

all i was saying was that Evan choice of a Biggie/Red Hot Chili Peppers mashup was a terrible mistake. The song did not go well with a ski edit at all and not to mention it is almost disrespectful to BIG to mash up one of the greatest lyricists with a alternative rock band who probably has no idea who Christopher Wallace is.

yeah, i didn't mean for it to come out the harshly. i just meant when you said, that you didn't like the biggie song, i assumed you liked the weezy song in montage's edit. i mean i really don't get it(this isn't really directed towards you) i mean people are always giving people shit about using weezy in their edits, and never biggie. but then when evan puts biggie in his edit, everyone's saying, "evan you did a terrible job choosing the song", etc. but no one says anything about montage putting weezy in their edit. idk i would have thought that that double standard would be the other way around, considering montage is a way less known crew.

I guess that's a personal preference thing, but I would rather watch parker or either of the logans ski over pretty much anyone else any day.

all the edits are obviously sick though.
