We had tons of footage, and a new GoPro to shoot with, so we made two episodes out of this week. This one's really just an edit, but it is all based on the same day as episode 2!



Critiques/opinions appreciated! Episode 3 will be available sometime early next week, and is likely to feature lots of the things you the viewers have requested, so comment away!

nice. not as much dialog as the others but that makes sense for a 2.5 episode.  i would agree to get rid of the gypsy, but those tight pants make me love to hate him. would you let anyone like guest appearance in an episode or something? that would be pretty cool to let other nsers in on the rt action. ill prob be up there tomorrow if its not raining

I had no idea this video exists so no, I didn't take his idea, but if you seriously think he's the first person to listen to Buffett you're sorely mistaken. Plus that's just our intro for now... we've got an original theme in the works.

Sick video btw.

if you intend to impress us we'd be more than happy to include you in the next episode. I may or may not be up tomorrow afternoon/evening, but definitely saturday for the slopestyle contest.

it's not tight pants that make me hate the kid. it's that they're tight and pink. he knows he looks ridicu;ous, he's just an attention whore.

-also: video section, faggots.

-also also: this wasn't bad.

Honestly i like the show (except the kid in the pink pants) but i feel like it doest deserve the alternative nickname travelling circus ripoff because it literally has 1 similarity with tc besides the fact that they are ski shows.

Well in my everyday life I wear skinny jeans. One day I was at salvation army and found these amazing pink jeans for 2 dollars at salvation army. How can u not buy them? And then I thought to myself, "why try and look like some wannabe thug like half the skiers these days" first day off the season I wore the pants and yea they just caught on. And to thisisastickup, I'm an attention whore, I'm doing my own thing. Clearly. Hahaha. And to everyone that says the ditch the kid in the gay pink pants, would you be saying that if they were pink saga pants? Prolly not haha . But please keep bringing all the hate cause we are just gonna keep doing our thing. And to everyone that enjoys watching these. Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Dorris

nah im clicked on it because i like it when people hate on the kid with the pink pants and i wanted to tell you to stop calling it the travelling circus ripoff it doesnt even deserve that title, just becuse it is an online mini show about skier and front 270's doesnt mean it is like travelling circus.

yeah that'd be true if the intro before the edit wasn't a minute and fifteen seconds.

the acutal edit is only just shy of 4 minutes.

so my mission is accomplished. not only did you recognize our show without having to call it the traveling circus ripoff, but you also remember the fact that dorris wears pink pants, that you hate his pants, and that you're going to spend your time criticizing them. in the process you also saw our show, and probably told one of your friends how gay you think his pants are, and to watch our video to see.

thanks for your support!

I like what you guys are doing, and it's cool to see the sport grow and grow, but it is rather shameless to use Traveling Circus as bait to attract viewers. Why not shape your own identity and garner attention on your own merits?

I don't believe anyone thinks you think this show is like traveling circus...I'm pretty sure that everyone assumes that you mention traveling circus in the thread title because people are more likely to click it.

But hey...whatever it takes to get eyeballs, right?

And, I've definitely met you, sir...Park 1260, I believe? Fuck those silly children judging your outerwear...anyone concerned enough with another man's clothing that it compels them to comment on it in the negative is clearly a twat. Keep doing your thing....that thing of course being having fun. By far the most valuable commodity you guys are trading in is FUN. Keep it about that and your edits will only get better and better.

Suggestion: Reach out to Roundtop, partner up with them, throw their logo in your edits and approach their marketing or park manager about season passes, building new custom features, and/or organizing events. It's amazing what people are willing to do if you were willing to employ a little salesmanship and flare. Pretending to be professional, and/or a big deal goes a LONG way.,,trust me, I know.

great skiing and good editing skills. i saw the kid in the pink pants at cbk a few weeks ago only one i noticed because well those pink pants are rediculous and definitly props for doing your own thing, but for other people just seeing you without knowing that you have some skill makes people think you are pretty gay.

also what did you use to mount your gopro on i am trying to make some sort of handle or pole mount thing for mine?
