CHEMICAL STORM OCTOROCKER PREVIEW

Sick… Would have been better if you went from the spinning helmet cams to someone filming them from a far, They looked like mad jumps but all we saw was the board falling towards the snow.

indeed a sick video but like Tjswish said you don’t see much of what is happening

This vid is more like an artsy campaign vid to get things started. Shot with VholdR I believe, using scraps of footage.

I think I’m now on the job…
Is that right Jeff?

Next week I’ll be changing bindings over to the Octorocker. I just don’t want to de-tune it for rails and I don’t want to hurt myself on the rails when I catch an edge!

Hmmm…. I will have a solid couple of weeks in Thredbo on my next trip and might have to hand the board around to a few of the Park Monkeys and Mountain Crew to see what they think and get footage of it performing in the varied conditions Thredbo has to offer. Then whack an edit together.

Can’t wait!!!!!!!!

Jeff! Jeff! Are you out there? I might need some of your other designs/models so I can really show em off.

Check out the above thread with both mine and Jeremy’s reviews of the board. Should give you a good idea of what to expect from the board.

Apologies guys for not being able to answer your questions. I hurt my back in a skating accident and have been on the mend since. Glad to say I’m back on deck but will be sticking to snowboarding smile

The video that I posted was just a test and it was my first attempt at it. I should of got a real expert like Spaz to help me out. The video was taken while I was testing in Switzerland last March. We did have several go pros and contours but they were stolen which left us with just one camera. I am keen to do a ‘proper’ production video this season when the new boards are available.

I also wanted to extend my thanks and appreciation to ALL the BW members for supporting us this season. I really enjoyed meeting you guys at the BW Shred Weekend. I also want to thank Jeremy for his great support and advice, without it I don’t think CS would of made it this far. Unfortunately we are having some delays with production which means we won’t have any new designs ready for the northern hemisphere season, however, we will have them ready before the start of ours. Here is just a preview of our first 2012/13 Octorocker:

I hope everyone has a great xmas and a safe new year with plenty of POW!

Looks sick Jeff, though I’ll be happy being the only one to ride an Octorocker in Japan! Still totally stoked that I won it.
