Perisher Ski Bum

Mate, I really like the progression through the video, well timed, and i enjoyed how the clips kinda sneak upon you.

One thing I would like see diff, the very last shot. you go from stationary to build up, which is all good.  But maybe have the very last bit a spin, or a 360 with a mostly look to the sky and land looking downhill… that kind of thing.  I appreciate the limited timeframe probablly wouldn’t allow, but just my opinion- loved it but i think the very end doesn’t give spaz justice.

in retrospect, I feel I have more than enough experience to be the best snowbum, and after seen what you’ve done so far I wouldn’tven think of entering. full stop.

That last shot did end with me dropping off Sponars Rock but it didn’t fit right.

I might give the edit another going over before entering. The problem is finding some spin footage. I have 1,000’s of hrs of video.

do you like the spin idea?  Do you have any footage clearing trees and looking back to a rooster tail? (not trying to tease, just think that would look awesome)

If you speed up the beginning maybe it’ll fit wink

i do, but don’t know where to find it. there are 246 videos online if you want to go through them for me….

i’ve put another clip on the end - it’s loading now.

Speeding up the start looked silly, but I tried.

New ending.

I like it on this viewing - did you speed it up at all??

Fingers crossed and will start a massive voting campaign for you when you get to the next round!

Looks like comments can be made on the videos entered!

I didn’t slow it down, but cleaned up the photo’s and took some out.

I think its good. I don’t think you should speed the first part up….....still not sold on the very last clip.

I think it is good too, and I like that it is nice and clear at the start. Same with crackers though - the last clip isn’t the BOOM! that it possibly should be…maybe the last clip should be of something that someone else has filmed you doing? Give a different perspective?

Yes! Yes!

There is footage of chucky filming me from last year. If I can’t find it on my HD I know it’s on vimeo. I fall after landing a 360 then give the camera a wave of my fingers. Should be perfect.

yeah something like that sounds good.

Looks good Spaz! I agree with the others, finding a punchier end clip would be good.

I tried the clip I was thinking of but it didn’t work.

To end, I’ve used a PoleCam shot looking back at me while I do a long toe side turn at high speed with sunlight shimmering through my small rooster tail, it the final shot is a strong heel edge turn under a tree on the edge of the run.

I think it works, might not be ideal but I don’t have the time to fiddle. I’ve now spent a couple of hours in total on it.
After all; I assume they are looking more at me on camera, not the quality of editing and video or how impressive my riding is. You guys can talk that up in the comments under my vid on their contest page wink
