"Once again, the f-stop Mountain Shoot-out did not disappoint! This year, the contest featured four filmers each presenting a six minute video. I say contest, but it was stressed by the organizers that, "while the Mountain Shoot-out might appear as a contest, it's not really about crowning the best photographer or filmmaker. It is about motivating the local community to ride harder and exercise creativity in the mountains." This is such a rad concept. Two thumbs up to f-stop! I had the unenviable task of judging the event, along with Die-go, the editor of Diggin magazine, and pro rider, Noboru 'Porno' Konno." — Marc, Japan Grabs Blogger
