Why are ski videos and edits lately coming up short on the music front?

There are exceptions to this, but in the last few years ski videos have had really shitty soundtracks.
Level 1 had super soundtracks back in the day with high five shanghai six lss and realtime and to some extent turbo, but since then its really gone downhill in my opinion.
When l1p came out with eyetrip their movie was completely outdone by the video in the bonus section, jiberishes "right back where we started" because of its awesome snowboard videoesque soundtrack.
For those who havent seen it https://vimeo.com/m/14328629

I dont really understand why ski videos have stopped emulating snowboard videos soundtrack wise. When i watch a ski video i want to hear something new and fresh, not something i heard a 16 year old girl blasting on her car stereo.

A good example of great soundtrack ski films are teddybear crisis (of course), stepts how we livin, and get lucky. All of these are chocked full of songs that would make a teenage trend whore vomit, which is why i love them.

As far as emulating snowboard videos, skiing can only hope to be as cool as snowboarding. Trying to outdo snowboard videos with decidedly unfresh soundtracks is silly. If ski vids were as cool as snowboard vids, id be more than content.

Heres a short snowboard vid that will put you on track to what im talking about http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GsW1Nu8q0KI&feature=kp

also horgasm a love story has some unbelievably good songs from savant http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U6lpBi39N78

i realize henrik is cool, but the whole wigger scene seen in skiing but not in snowboarding just makes us look like a bunch of fucking idiots frankly.

People should chose music for how it sounds, not its fucking street cred.

Or do you all agree with dumont?

The music that sounds good is the music that should give you street cred

Horgasm has a horrible soundtrack. 2010 dubstep? That is the definition of teenage trendwhoring for that time.

And the fact that you used the word wigger is proof that you're an idiot. Dividing up musical genres into being only acceptable for one race to enjoy is such an archaic and racist idea. A large amount of young people these days enjoy rap music, and they don't listen to it for "street cred" either. Let people use whatever they want. Are you going to start telling people how to ski next?

I think l1p used to have awesome soundtracks because they didn't get music rights, same with tbc etc. I'm just assuming this but not sure, I could be completely wrong.

You're just too young to witness the "gangster" phase in snoJPwboarding. MFM was too hard.

I remember the one year when everybody used that stupid fucking sail song. Then everybody else was like OMG ITS SO COOL THE BACKROUND MUSIC IS ALL LIKE DO DO DO DO DO"

Also the big hipster indie trend thing is kind of lame. Some good songs in the mix sometimes but the trend as a whole is rough.

Still better than dubstep.

That is an unreasonable response to a perfectly reasonable post. You disagree with white people listening to hip hop?

Thissle no, white pll listening to rap is fine but the whole ns love affair with rap, a scene thats not seen anywhere in snowboarding is just fucking ridiculous. snowboarders probably laugh their ass of at the whole wannabe black aura given off by ppl like tanner. You want to make an awesome ski video? Emulate snowboard videos, or even skateboard videos for that matter. Teddybear crisis was good for a fucking reason
