ski videos not so great

When I see snowboard videos, it seems like they are doing really really crazy ass stuff. Then I watch a ski movie and I lose that feeling. I know that we do crazy stuff too but I still lost the feeling. It took me until just recently to discover that the reason is because ski videos are in slow motion. I'm not saying they always are but it seems like if its in normal speed the athelets are doing something burly as hell compared to the slow affect. A lot of the snowboard videos I see these now are all normal speed. I wanted to email pbp about this but they dont have an email. Think about it, does anyone else feel the same way?

luckily slo mo is being used less and less, little by little and being replaced with faster edits.
I still liked the slow mo and take off and landing sounds in DASH longs seg and others in wski.

pbp is the worst ever for it. in simon dumonts part in X, his shots of him doing 180s and zero spins on the step up seem to take an hour. X was the worst movie of theyear.

I like most ski video's, unless they were filmed as mpegs or something, then I cry.

slow-mo is acceptable for artistic shots where a person is leaving the lip of the jump and theres snow flying everywhere and hes blocking the sun, shit like that its cool, but ripping a big mountain line in slow-mo is stupid, dropping cliffs in slow-mo is stupid, park I prefer real speed or like 80-90%

get redtape or high 5. i also hear wicked and assault are worth your money.

like someone above me said, there are other companies than just pbp and msp.

you just figured that out parker(switch_9)? i could have told you that

'They sell 'Professional' jump ropes at the sporting goods store. I did not know that jump roping was a career option. I should have paid closer attention during those job planning courses in high school. Anyway, I went there intending to purchase a rifle, but i forgot my wallet and the cashier wouldn't accept my middle finger as collateral. - random internet person quoted by apple

i dunno about you guys but i think ski movies are way better than snowboard movies. Like in the new snowboard movie chulksmack almost everythings slow mo and most of video gangs was as well. I think the ski movies should go to the pace of the music... for a slow rap song it should be slow but than have fast for a punk song. Right now id say ski movies and snowboard movies are about the same but snowboard movies have so much goddamn filler

I like when Neil makes fun of MSP in wicked with that one clip on the flat down box... That was classic!

Wicked, Super!, High 5, and Red Tape are pretty much all normal speed videos. Great movies too!!

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.
