Just when I think I’ve searched out and viewed every bit of archival snowboarding footage on the internet, along comes something like this. So stoked.

Just grabbed all 3.6gb of it! Look forward to checking it out at some stage.

Same mate. Although I imagine a lot of that 1080p HD format will be wasted with all the archival footage.

Sweet movie.. Helps to see how far the sport has come and makes me excited to see where it’s headed..

The production quality is very second hand.
Most of the footage is NTSC(480) tape and even some VHS, there is also some film that’s been digitized.

I don’t think the issue is with HD video, everyone already wanted more pixels in their shots. The problem is the media that they use to make it. Cameras weren’t good enough and tapes don’t hold enough data.

Even by the 80’s (when I started playing with programing) i stuggled get a single pixel to change colour and move across the screen.

I would have been a child genius if I had invented it, but in the olden days freaks like that we’re burned in public ceremony.
