Hate to post in another JOSS thread, but I have to quote this to reinforce how true it is.

This edit was refreshing, entertaining, and made me stoked to head out and ski. Kinda surprised about all the hate, but then again not everyone is good at embracing things that are different.

The editing and filming were absolutely amazing. The skiing and vibe were on point and I liked the intro and outro a lot.

I just with there was some more urban.

I'm going to have to say that this was by far my favorite edit... it stood out from all the other edits.  Filming, editing, music, riding, everything was different and unique.  I'm glad it wasn't a double fest.  I have a lot of respect for them going out and throwing down perfect tricks.  This is the one edit that really made me hate the fact that it's summer in Wisconsin.  Good work Team Canada and thanks for making me laugh and standing out from the crowd. 

PS... the Macarena was amazing.

That made my day also, although I thought the whole video was centered around the pan. Sweet music too, rural alberta advantage may have went well with that video. It seemed traveling circus inspired.

My Friend is a Pro is without a doubt the most memorable thing from last years JOSS, but nobody thinks that it should have won.

JOSS is a contest that most of the best skiers in the world spend a fair bit of time and (in some cases) money to attend. I think they have a pretty reasonable expectation that it IS going to be largely about the skiing. Theres no point in sending all the best skiers halfway around the world to hit the biggest features in the world if all you want to do is make a fun little edit (or a contest of who can make the funnest edit).

After watching the edits, I would not expect Canada's to win. I definitely empathize more with Tom/Simon than I did. It's not that I think Canada's edit is bad- it's fun to watch and one of the most entertaining . It's just that I think most everyone expected the level of skiing to play a bit more of a roll than it (apparently) did.

you are exactly correct. Everyone knows skiing is about having fun, but when it is a contest like this you have to give more to the skiing side then funny happy fun side.

I was using the fact that jon physically made the effort to build a jib garden to illustrate my point that jibs counted for more in this JOSS. Whether you like or not, the urban aspect of the competition was made out to be a crucial component. Also, team NS's urban was far from mediocre.

ill absolutely give you that. i got the impression, and it sounds like the athletes also got the impression, that it was going to be based on skiing. Jon definitely should have been more clear about that.


but based on the criteria that it WAS judged by, Canada definitely was the best.

pretty good. made me feel as though I was watching my knucklehead friend's edit. I think they did a great job conveying the vibe. the vibe was def FUN.

that being said, I empathize w/ simon's reaction much more after seeing it. I am NOT a fan of the dudemont, but I get why he was pissed now. US's video was more traditional, slick PBP style. this was not. I wouldn't have thought it'd win either.

True, and My Friend is a Pro was great, but it didn't for me sum up what skiing is for me, whereas a part that has this kind of feel does. It's identifiable, it's like 3 dudes who are way better than me at skiing having the same experience on the hill I do, despite skiing much better than I ever could. Whereas Tom and Simon throwing down 450s and doubleflips in quick succession isn't something that hits home for me, it's more about making things look impressive. I can totally understand why, in a contest where the video's overall impression pretty much decides the winner, this one would've won, because it has that impression in spades. There's a rant in my profile that came out of a thread I wrote years ago about this same thing. This whole debate reminded me of it, because it seems like there are a lot of kids (probably even more now than when I wrote it) who look at skiing very differently than I do, and see doing impressive ish and looking cool as more central to skiing than having fun with friends. I think this edit does a good job of representing the latter, and I think that's what skiing is all about. Might just be me though.

Really it's a stupid argument, I said last year I don't even know why Jon bothers to rank the videos. JOSS for me each year isn't about one team beating another team, it's just a good excuse for really good skiers to put out 6 or 7 really good edits and people should just enjoy them all without having to bitch about it. Of course not bitching wouldn't be very newschoolersish.

amazing edit. couldn't be happier with the Canada edit winning.



What I think is really funny is how everyone on NS is always "I'm tired of seeing double cork 1260's winning big air comps", "style should mean more", "where is Pep and Andy's footage from X-games", etc... Now, in JOSS, when the edit that didn't have the biggest hucked tricks, but instead had legit stylie shots, people are all hating on it.

It does seam to be the minority that is saying Canada shouldn't have won... really, the fact that Canada DID win gives me happy feelings towards skiing.



And as for the whole Team America thing - a sore loser is a sore loser. It's a shame.

Alright, to be honest, I WANTED to be disappointed. I WANTED to believe that all this bullshit about Canada's edit not deserving the win compared to NS/Norway/America. But after watching that edit, I just *couldn't* disagree with the judges.

First, but not most importantly, they won on their winning of the category for "overall impression." Giving overall impression to Canada is really beyond dispute -- no other edit was as fun, beautifully shot, well-edited, and technical (maybe only on jumps, but still) as Canada's. Since they won based (pretty much) only on overall impression, they're the legit winners in my book.

Secondly, it's hard to argue that any other edit really topped this one in filming or editing. Personally I didn't really like the song choices, but it gave a very unique vibe to the edit, unlike America's. With Mike Clarke behind the scenes, what else can you expect, but still... very impressive.

As for the skiing -- since this is a SKI film competition after all -- their style was nearly flawless. Teej's signature bow and arrows on those motionless spins on the JOSS kicker and step up were orgasmic. There was lots of spin variation, and I was surprised to see how creative the grabs got. My only two major knocks against their skiing (which was certainly the weakest part of their edit) was that they didn't show many doubles (I know they're controversial, but at least throw a few more than the 3-or-so they did) and they had 2 shots of urban in the entire movie. Jon stressed that urban would be a bigger part of the contest this year, but he really isn't backing that up by giving the win to Canada, who had nearly NO urban whatsoever. Where is the motivation for other teams to use urban in future years if there's no precedent it will count for anything?

But then again, it is URBAN... and think about who they have on their team... since when does either TJ or Chug slay urban on a regular basis? Yeah, not that often...

Also, the intro was trippy as shitttttt... could anyone else really follow that the first time they watched it? Too many fast cuts, in my opinion.

Just my thoughts, but I'm glad to finally have all the edits out so we can make our own opinions... I know mine was very NS-esque in that I assumed Twall got robbed, or that team NS deserved the win and that Canada did not. After seeing the edits finally, I think I'm forced to side with Jon's decision.

Great comp, and all the entries were ill. Stoked for next year!

Good lord.....

Are you serious? Did you not pick up on the fact that JOSS invites teams of skiers and filmers and the goal is to make an edit?

XGames, Dew Tours, Opens, etc. are events where the judging is based solely on skiing, thankfully
JOSS provides a refreshing change from that format, it's one of the things that makes it such a sick event!

Besides, TJs bwarrows and Doreys flatspins were the best looking "skiing" tricks that went down at JOSS this year IMO.
