I gave up on crystal. I know will is trying to make the park better, its just management isnt giving him the funds. They fucking get a new chairlift, what a joke. put the money into something useful.

yeah i agree, but they can solve that other ways. dont have lessons start at the bottom of loki, that makes it a ton more busy. plus, it seems like there revolving the resort around little kids. new lift means god apperance, especially with a magic carpet that takes you to the lift. they need something that attracts a mid aged audience, like us.

I decided Im going to try and make an edit this year.. looking for talent. Anyone in the area who wants to do urban or park scenes let me know. Also if your going out west bring a camera and get some shots if you want to help out with the short ski flick. Last thing I feel like you need to be over 17. I don't want to deal with parents.

Let me know if your interested.. I got a few hook ups and other friends involved. We are gunna try and ride some urban once or twice a week. Hitting up Pine Knob or Holly park a few nights a week. I have a snow gun at my house and a rail set up with a hip jump and a quarter pipe.

As for cameras and filming. I have 2 GoPros, a Canon 60D, Panasonic HMC150, Canon HFS100, some other SD cams as well. I have a Glidecam, Shootgun Mic, baby death fisheye, 15ft Camera crane with remote pan tilt, wireless lav mics. tripods with fluid heads, and a R/C Heli that can use the gopro or Canon HFS100 to film aerial shots. Also a very powerful editing computer fully loaded with software.


Who's in...??

I dont have a personal problem with anybody under 17. I just dont want to deal with kids that have curfew or get grounded the day before a planned jib cause they got a C- on there math quiz. If you can commit to a schedule and you have a car by all means join in.

I have 3 sets of 2 lights 500w halogen each. in order to power them you need a pretty big generator... I also have 3 soft light boxes which use CFL lights and require much less power. I prefer to use those unless someone wants to carry around a big generator.

How'd I miss this.

I'm a freshman at U of M this year. Starting up a small freestyle club this year so we'll have a group of kids if you ever wanna come hit urban in Ann Arbor. We don't have a car at the moment but we're working on trips and shit to Apline Valley and other places around the area.
