Hey guys Mike Benson here - I am sorry if this counts as self-promotion.

Here is the deal: I run Knife Show part-time and work at G4 full-time. My job at G4 is ending and so I am available for a full-time gig. So if you guys know of any paid work please let me know, and feel free to pass this reel on to anybody.

Dear Mike Benson,

I have been watching your edits for years, and they're seriously some of my favorite edits of all time. It brings me great pleasure to comment on a thread you created.

Yours truly,

Very cool.
How do you do those special effects?
Like the ones where there are stop frames following the rider in air.

i will tots pay you 50$ to make a 30 sec edit for me at the end of the year. think about what you can by with 50$ that's almost a full tank of gas.

Saw this on YouTube, thought it was awesome, but there was a lot of shots that I hadn't seen before, was some of it unreleased footy?

Certain shots are concepts for videos that haven't been released yet. So in a way, this is kind of a sneak peek at things to come...

One thing I've always wondered is how you get the snow to move at 1:33? I want it to be small explosives but I guess it's more likely you just cropped somebody out?

It was a powder slash from Chris Grenier I think. And then I erased him.

I absolutely love Knife Show, it's nice to have such creatively in the rather bland world of ski/board edits, hope you can find a good job

I wish, it was one that came with my sweatshirt a couple years ago. Starting to peel off a bit now that I moved to California from Washington being in the sun all the time. Going to swoop the new sweatshirt that drops tomorrow though, hopefully there will be a new one in there.
