Ha sorry for being a jabroni...not my intention. I know it's a huge claim to say Nick will win at this point. And I'm not trying to be super serious about it. I'm just stoked for the comp. like everyone else and I would love to see Nick take it. He put in a lot of hard work this season and put together an awesome edit...I probably should have waited a few rounds to make a claim like that, I just got pretty pumped after seeing his edit. Haha

I'm with ya Matt.....McNutt DESTROYS pillows. And that's the kind of skiing I enjoy most and enjoy watching the most, so why wouldn't I want him to win?

I've seen them all.
/claim

There are some heavy hitters, but i'm sticking with McFuckinNutt FTW. His POV edit https://vimeo.com/65936874 is what convinced me even before seeing the real deal. Remember the top 18 vote getters plus 3 wild card picks will vote for the winner via a ranking system. I think the real winner will be TGR because they got some really solid footage out of this (and of course whoever takes home the cheddar!)

Oh, and the best women segment ever is a real contender...

Stoke for Monday when all the edits drop live!!!

Don't count out Jordan Clarke, another whistler local, takes jumps and cliffs pretty fucking far past what most people would consider to be 'deep'. Also best under-flips in the game ahaha!

I'm looking forward to the Sage Cattabriga-Alosa edit. To see what he pulls out to stay relevant, and unleash some repressed creativity. I'm sure it'll be just dandy. Music should be interesting too.

Not at all. He's a what I call a heavy hitter. The film/edit quality of that one is prolly the best. He's got a shot at the most public votes with NS sway, but with all the athletes voting (not production crew) for final placement I don't see him winning. That's just my opinion.

This comp definitely brought out the best of many crews. And apparently Scotty Titterington was the most busy out of anyone this winter... he's credited in about 5 quality edits.

Sage has an edit in this? almost unfair, he's one of the most talented skiers alive. I don't see his skiing being surpassed by anyone who would enter.

focus seemed to be more on super trippy snow visuals than skiing, but he's a got a couple smooth action shots. It's unique and I'm sure he's proud of the edit.

Candid should of just submitted that POV he posted a few weeks ago and that would have to have scored in top 5 at least....

Has anyone seen Tom's edit? Thoughts on it..?

When he announced that he was doing a solo project with Kyle Decker this past year, I figured part of the reason was for this contest. Can anyone confirm that?

out of the ones I've seen, ordered from best to not quite as best:

Talkington
Sage
McNutt
Unterberger
Colston VB
Amon Barker
Muggerud
John Wells



but really, it's:

Talkington
Sage
McNutt
.
.
.
.
.
.
everything else.

Talkington's by far the best I think

I really hope this ends the streak of retards claiming tom's a sell out.

Tom is making a solo project that im sure his sponsors have put up more then 100g's for. It would be dumb for him to release footage early.

I have also never really seen anyone seriously call Tom a sellout.

I dont really know why any of you thought he would be entering.

Why enter a contest that he may not win and give tgr all the rights?

I didn't... I think he will make more than 100k just by releasing it to itunes. Just seemed to be the talk of the thread for 2 whole pages, thought people knew what they were talking about.

I was blown away by Sage's edit. I feel bad calling it an edit that was quite a body of work.

I think ski skill matters more than film here because the athletes will be the ones deciding the victor, not interwebz film critics.

There will be plenty for the top 21 to pick from in terms of ski and video work.  I like Randy Evans' edit, music, mini-storyline, bad-ass skiing.

If ski skill took precedence over artistic design in a TGR video contest with $100k winnings, that would be a disgraceful. I can't help but worry that you may be right, unfortunately.
