IF3 Story time

First off-This is a claim thread. I dont care who you are now, but at some point you were a fan of this skiing and this kinda shit got you excited. Congrats if you are "cool" now and act like its not a big deal, it isn't but until you've been around a while you don't learn that. So allow me to claim the illest shit that happened to me at IF3.

I wanna hear your stories too cause I'm getting hyped for next week. I know I must not be the only one with fan boy claims from montreal. I went to iF3 all 4 years of college- 09, 10, 11, 12. Lemme detail the highlights from those years

Year one
- Partied in Stept’s hotel first night
- Slept in car cause I fucked up booking my room
- Made finals in a beatbox contest for new skis
- Got an extra VIP prize pack by tricking this trick
- Watched every movie
- Watched guidos fight from across the street while passing doob with radio ron
- Brother got robbed trying to buy weed

Year 2
- Tricked way into Thursday night VIP red bull
- Walk in with t wall and t hall
- Almost won new skis again, fuck Mike Douglas
- Brother bought weed successfully from two guys named Shifty and Psycon
- Even Sigstad invited me to the Field Productions room to watch their new movie
- Only person allowed in with backpack in the club at Tanner’s party besides Tanner
- Run into a drunk (then intern) Malcolm who cant find NS office
- Bring him to the office, where everyone was waiting for an after party on the last night, and Malcolm had the key to let people in.
- Played Kendama with Wallisch and Rolland

Year 3
- Win tickets for free on NS
- Beat box for All-Star to freestyle to
- All the party venues can be seen from my hotel room’s window
- Slept through the entire Poor Boyz movie
- Rocker party - Pete high fives Cali P during show
- Knock Clayton Vila on his ass in a mosh pit and take his sunglasses
- Try to pick up some mtl chicks and fail


Year 4
- Ordered my tickets but never got charged
- Met LVV and talked to him, he remembered my name the next day
- Met all the guys that would later form the Tabarnak Pack
- Outside club first night this guy turns to me, sticks his hand out and says “Doug”
I look at him and say No, then grab my brother and say, “This is Doug, I’m Dan”
Turns out it was Doug Bishop aka Mr. Bishop but he got a haircut so I didn’t recognize. We all laugh a bunch and he invites us to a bar for drinks. Three pitchers and two rounds of shots on NS and then we’re invited back to the office where weed that was purchased with Iberg in mind is smoked before Eric ever even knows it existed. We talk until 7 in the morning about skiing and media and the future and fan out about so many things.
- Doug (brother) won a pair of K2's for doing some shit on stage.

I'll gladly expand on any claim. My stories from times at iF3 are my favorite stories to tell anyone in my life. Being a fan is fucking cool. Sorry if you don't get excited about dope shit.

I just got back into my hotel room and i can already tell this will be another incredible weekend. I was reminded of a lil tidbit i forgot to mention in OP. In 2011 I made a human pyramid with banks gilberti, phil casabon, vincent prevost, will wesson and andy parry. It was rad

today I got to see the superproof movie at a private redbull premiere and drink way too many redbulls. Awesome movie that has skiing, different than a ski movie. the biggest highlight of the night was poutine with john kutcher and ian compton.

First night at iF3 went pretty good. The Recruitment premier/Red Bull party, which I'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to be at, was awesome to connect with people I haven't seen in a while and meeting new people. The awards went off, no clue who the announcer was, but neither did anyone else so that works out. This iF3 is for Tom Warnick, so it's time to go hard and keep the party going.

Oh, and Magnus and The Bunch got robbed.

Mr.BishopOne time I hosted the Newschoolers awards (which is what the IF3 awards used to be called)....

And I only remember about 60% of being on stage. At some point tanner jumped off the balcony and fucked up his ankles, and I was never invited back to host my own awards ceremony again.


I think that was 2008, the 2nd IF3.

After sorting out this hangover and life, I found some time to sort through a few pictures from last night. Ones that stuck out:

TallxT Dan comes out of nowhere to win best Web Series of all time...Tru!!!


Max Hill pulls a Kanye.


But most importantly, this one if for Thomas Fucking Warnick!

Day 2, hung out with the content team in the morning to regroup, went to the first set of screenings starting at 4, watched all of those and they were awesome. Rocker party went off, Pettit knows how to throw a party. Mr. Bishop had the sickest shirt of the night (see picture below), Kutcher took my beer to spray it everywhere, and I made it threw the whole party without ripping my shirt (this is actually an accomplishment at this one). Then went back to the hotel and talked with some NSers till 5, started on the 8th floor and by the time we were done we were drinking in the lobby on a couch. Just woke up, about to go check out the next set of screenings. Pumped for 5to9, Achy Bliss, Burn, Thirsty, Ten and Two, and Almost Ablaze...gonna be a good day.

Mr.Bishop:


Found this on the wall at the bar, it wasn't us:

I lost my voice during the day so was rendered useless during the Sean Pettit party. Had to use my phone to communicate the entire night.
Also wore american flag leggings, that was really fun.

That moshpit at the party was intense too, Im surprised no one got injured

Walter.1337One year, Vince Charette (aka one of the coolest Quebecois) and I go on the prowl for ladies. He ends up grabbing a random chick that walked past us, introduced her to me, and we ended up hooking up. Pretty casual.

Day 3, Saw some screenings, chilled with 4bi9 after the Burn premier (make sure you pick that one up, one of the best films I saw this weekend), saw some more screenings, was mind-blown by Stept...such a good movie, chilled with Tabarnak Pack, NS, and 4bi9 before the retro party. Got into a deep park crew discussion with Mr.Bishop, talked with Schmuck for a while about being stuck in Sweden during JOSS and a bunch of other stuff, went to bed at 5 again, and now I'm gonna work on getting home.


Thanks for the awesome weekend everyone. Trying to figure out real life is gonna be rough. If you missed iF3 this year, be sure to not make that mistake again...you never know what can happen here.

Such a fucking awesome weekend. I can't move a single part of my body without it hurting. Met a bunch of chummy NSers in person for the first time.

N1 was nuts, pretty much got wasted with everyone and moshed my ass off. Afterward chilled and spliffed with some pros in the room, one of which left his shoes. Chipped my tooth on a bottle, cracked my elbow in the pit.

N2 on the other hand

-10 and 2 was the best ski film I've ever seen. Warnick's narrative was incredible.
-smoked a J with J Lev
-Got the swaggest retro jacket ever (with a kang pouch that holds 4 beers)
-Crowdsurfed (albeit briefly, I have quite the bruise on my ass)
-Made my way on stage several times (and was escorted off each time)
-Kicked out of the dance floor (only to return very briefly)
-Forced out of the venue when it was over anyway. The dude was like "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM YOU MOTHERFUCKER? YOU WILL NEVER BE WELCOME AT IF3 EVER! IN ANY COUNTRY!" I said I'd see him next year.
-spliffed with more pros

So much stoke. Thanks to everyone for a weekend I will never forget!

I watched every movie that was shown so that was pretty dope. Then at the level 1 movie, a drunk guy was screaming LSM the whole fucking time during is segment which was pretty anoying. At the Virtika movie, Tallxt was sitting behind me with his friend saying how the movie sucked which i found quite entertaining. The only thing that I thought sucked was how the crowed didn't show up at the all girl screening because the movie were some of the best from all weekend.

Man during the last movie of the all girls screening a group of 4 dudes sat in front of me and started calling out about there not being enough skiing during the AK segment. I couldn't believe it, the skiers were killing it so hard and talking about what actually goes into picking these major lines and they're just bitching about it. Really not cool.

i know i was probably less than 5 rows in front and I wanted them to shut up so bad. No respect for the people actually enjoying the movie. And that movie probably had some of the best pow shots of the weekend in my opinion

IF3 is always rad, from seeing old friends to making new random ones. hands down most precious memory was talking to ian compton on the street last year about his hilarious tattoo. he's such a sweet dude. getting to see the traveling circus boys party is always priceless. i've chatted briefly with many people over the years.
