I don't know if kris ostness or anyone he talks to is ever on this site but is there any chance we could show him there'd be demand for a re-release of his Wind Up films movies on DVD or something?

I just found my old VHS copy of clay pigeons and it's dead from being played and rewound too many times i think haha. plus most people don't even have VHS players around anymore. a DVD release of clay pigeons, tee time, and flying circus would be amazing... all those utah gaps being hit by all kinds of rippers like jon, candide, sage, pollard...such classic shit. i'd kill for a DVD of it all

and if you dont know what im talking about, maybe you have seen the bolero project, which is just a bunch of footage from these movies re edited to bolero by ravel... was on some helly hansen promo DVD a few years back: http://vimeo.com/15907608

The Bolero Project from Howie Arnstad on Vimeo.

I've always wanted to get my hands on one of those movies. First saw the old Leviathan thread ages ago which got me interested.

Bolero video was pretty sick, music choice could have been a little better though IMO.

I agree, my damned ex-girlfriend somehow lost my copies of tee time and clay pigeons (not to mention 13, royalty, the game, and some other ones I can't recall at the moment).

I would pay a good deal of money for a working copy of Clay Pigeons and Tee Time.

If anybody out there needs to replace any of those old worn out psychedelic WindUp Films vhs tapes with something more modern, I made a WindUp Films DVD box set that includes everything we made:

-Clay Pigeons
-Tee-Time
-Tee-Time Teaser
-The Flying Circus
-The Flying Circus Teaser
-Secret Movie
-The Bolero Project


If you'd like a copy, send $25 to my paypal account:

teddybearcrisis@mac.com

along with your USPS mailing address. Send $33 if you are outside the USA.


Thanks, Kris Ostness

Kid you not, I have seriously been waiting 10 years to see this post.

Tee Time and Flying Circus were my objects of lust during my high school years, they were the ski movies I could never find for sale anywhere, and just had dial-up internet quality teasers to salivate over. Without your films, I doubt very much I'd be as stoked on skiing as I continue to be today.

I don't suppose there is any way to pay you that doesn't involve paypal?

Pretty sure that if Ostness was to send you a PayPal invoice manually you can pay it by credit card.

Hope you're good anyway Sean, this is Lorne from Whistler 05/06. Been living in Chamonix since 2010, life is good.

Hey dude, that's sick that you're in Chamonix, I finally had to leave Whis to go back to school but I'm not too far from my local mountain and it gets a lot of snow so all is well.

Just go for it dude,  you got this.

That edit was classic in every way.  Skiing history of flying, the era of the GAP.  Awesome.

Dude, awesome -- and you play CRIBBAGE.

That's awesome about Tee Time! Good thing I'm just getting paypal going here.

But, not to thread jack... but a dvd of Royalty would be awesome. My VHS is falling apart, and that was one of the all time most well done vids I've ever seen.

Would anyone who owns "Tee-Time" be willing to type out the list of songs on it? I watched it 100 times, but lost the VHS tape. Saw the new DVD set come out, but don't want to fork over $25 just to get the track list.

Thanks if you can help
