Teaser #1 for Highland Productions Latest Project
Eric Pollard truly took his skiing in a different direction then his counter parts of the time. One of the first to spin and grind both ways, Eric rejected crossing his skis and trying to win contests. Here we see him grease the first legit rail line with variations and break the mold on the stock grabs. This segment gives us a glimpse into one of the best skiers of today. If you can get your hands on a copy of Royalty, I highly recommend it, it's a great film that stands the test of time and launched Iberg's career.
Super U has clearly gone bankrupt from all the sweet contests... So I thought I'd repost our entry to the 2008 contest so it can be viewed again.
Tanner Hall pushes hairstyles and back country jumping on the early Rossi fat twins.
Vincent Dorion debuts the under flip, double grabs, and urban rails in this skiing classic.
Mickeal defines steeze while Crichton ups the ante on both urban rails and in the pipe in this skiing classic that inspired todays style.
Learning misty flips and rodeos would be tough at 20... Douglas was doing them before anyone in his 30's. Here he is in the first true "jib" flick innovating both in the park and the back country. Douglas is truly the Godfather. Enjoy this piece of skiing history.
This guy is inspiring, spina bifita is an awful disease yet he has overcome it and clearly prospered. I don't often post non ski related content but this video was worthy. Enjoy.

Highland Productions 2010 release, premiering November 12th at Babylon night club in Ottawa.
Shane McConkey no doubt was a brilliant skier, but also a master of humor. Here is a 'fake' commercial from MSP's "There's Something About McConkey" (2000). I think within 48 hours of seeing this film I had bought a pair of the all metal, unbreakable Volant McTwins. PLEASE buy this film if you get the chance, it exemplifies Shane's love of life and skiing. One of the best ski films ever made. Enjoy.
Highland Productions 2010 Release! Merry Christmas!
Josh Berman steps in front of the camera to display bike jumping into the Rideau River and gets to enjoy the Canadian medical system. Hidden bonus from the Second Generation VHS (2001)
Highland Productions Fall 2008 Release
A film in memory of Sean Fox Fraiser.
Candide Thovex dominates the pipe and sets a distance record with a 110 ft plus cork 5 tail over the "Super Park" spine jump.
Philou spins the first switch unnatty 3's and cork 9 lui kang's in the pipe in this skiing classic. Note the extremely small half pipe and the fact he's 6.4. Enjoy.
Phil Belanger pushed the sport in so many ways in this classic segment. Throwing some of the biggest D Spins ever done off a park jump, carving off tables, sliding some of the earliest urban rails and throwing cork 9 tails in the pipe. Phil inspired style and furthered pipe riding beyond straight airs. Here is the classic opening segment of Royalty edited and filmed by Iberg himself. Note the switch 270 in to lui kang at the end. One of my favorite segments of all time. Enjoy.
Four years and over 60 hours later, Marc Dandurand finally touches down at the end. PLEASE WATCH AND VOTE!
This segment reaffirmed to me that I wanted to be a skier and a film maker. Over a decade later it still puts a smile on my face. Candide debuts afterbang and Philou does the first switch rodeos and switch backflips. Enjoy
Footage from Highland Productions 2008 film "Oh Yeah Bud!!!"
Last February to prove certain parties wrong I dug an 8 foot high quarter in my cousins back yard by hand. The resulting thaw in April led us to hold a weekend session which turned into a beer, bbq and sausage feast. This is quarter pipe life.
Laurent's segment from Highland Productions "The Life Gnarcotic"
J.P sends the first flairs, backflip mutes, and pipe 540's on the first generation Salomon 1080's.
It was hard not to shed a tear watching this after the events of today. J.P simply showed how well rounded of a skier he was in this part. From flairs in the halfpipe, from some of the earliest urban rails, and of course back country lines and booters, J.P was the boss as proved completing the loop. My thoughts and condolences to his friends and family. Here is a small piece of his legacy.

"Kyle Decker put together his own mini-movie, "New Era," back in 2009 with a few select members of the Level 1 crew. Featuring content from Level 1's feature film "Refresh," Kyle's edits are a collection of the some of the best, and, for lack of a better term, "progressive" shots from that year. Truth be told, a couple years later, they still hold up!"
