Eric and Erin will get the problem sorted very soon.  They're obviously not going to only give you the teaser for $5.  If you have already paid $5 for the webisode, you will get the webisode, once they get the technical problems sorted.  They will not recharge anyone or take your money without giving you what you paid for.  Rest easy.  If you're waiting to download until after the problem is fixed, I know they're working on it right now and it should be ready to go soon.

Sometimes things like this happen.  Sorry for the delay, but they're just as concerned about it as you are.  I paid my $5 earlier today to watch the webisode as well, even though I'm in it.  100% down to support Nimbus and what they're doing.  I'm just as excited and anxious to see this as you are.  Thanks everyone for the support!

Probably the best $5 I have spent in awhile, but where is Andy? I know he is still riding with you guys, at least I thought I saw some video and photos

wow.
it took 25 minutes to dl, but well worth it.
I really like this model of free "point and shoot" throughout the season and 3 full length movies for $5 each through the year.

$5 dollars is really about perfect, too. I hope they are making a little bit of money cuz of increased volume.
didn't watch it in its entirety cuz I'm saving it for the plane to denver, but so far:
excellent skiing, not as much awkward interview/memory lane talking as contrast, fantastic quality footage, real life "lifestyle" shots. overall, the best ski movie I have seen in a while

my itunes doesnt seem to recognise the link and when I try and download the Mobilerider podcast it says it is not available in the UK store, Canada store and US store (changed stores on itunes store homepage).


I wish there was an easier way to download outside of itunes. Kinda bummed that I paid $5 and it isnt working, also bummed someone deleted my previous post ( i think) as it was a legit grievance.........

After watching Ant's edit, I immediately bought and started downloading Departure!

Thought I will say, what is the deal with Mobilerider? Every time they run some digital download or live stream it doesn't initially work.

that was a really awesome move/webisode. im way satisfied. i was also wondering where Mahre was, I hope nimbus still keeps a lot of emphasis on the originals of pollard, fujas, mahre, benchetler and nyman, even though i do think the other guys are way rad (especailly dylan hood)
