Do you think they would have placed higher had they had more skiing in their edit instead of swimming in a pool, a girl with braces, and weird low down camera angles with Symms basically humping Colby's head?? Just throwing it out there. Let me know what you think...

how do they not have the music rights for that, i thought they wrote and sung it themselves. Did they rip the beat off someone orsomething? (maybe i missed a thread somewhere )

I just watched it again, funny as hell, I guess they could have done better with more of a skiing focus, but everyone I know who's seen it has loved it, and they got the peoples vote award, so who cares?

I'm on a boat is one of the funniest songs out there. I love how Colby had it for his ring tone in the Team USA video.



or the "jizz in my pants" song. fuckin' hilarious!

if there goal had been to simply place high in the standings that nobody is going to remember in six months yeah. But they made a music video thats going to go down in skiing history and will be remembered alot longer then most of those other edits.

i know this might come as a surprise to alot of people but its not always about where you place. those guys deserve alot of credit.

They had 0 in every single category except 2 in photography.

They deserved more than that. They both had legit shots of skiing. Colby threw a sick double 12 and other nice tricks. Even John Symms hucked his meat pretty good. And the concept was BY FAR better than team down under. I agree that they deserved last place but they should have got it with a little more dignity. The same shots with a serious concept would have had more points for skiing. I just don't understand how it can deserve a 0

At least, they won people's choice and they fucking deserved it.. The sad thing is that Jon said that next year he doesn't want a non-serious team anymore. TEAM USA FOR LIFE !

They used about 3 seconds of Chris Brown's 'Forever' at the start, and then a sample of it in the middle.

hey man. skiing is a very serious thing. if you want to have fun, you should probably switch to snowboarding.

no room in skiing for fun and laughter. keep that shit at home.

Definitely my favorite edit released so far. I think this edit is going to have staying  power. I'm sure the top few have some sick skiing shots, but I think 'My friend is a pro' is the only one i'll care to watch a month from now.

They didn't get "0"s in the sense a 0 usually counts for. The last place team in each category automatically received a 0 for that category. I believe 1st place in a given category was 12, and it worked it's way back to 0 for the lowest scoring team in that particular category. The individual scores from each of the categories were totaled giving the overall winner. They explained the scoring somewhere....I can't find it just now. It's not like the judges said "the skiing and filming was so horrible that they deserve no points!!", but rather, they decided the skiing and filming was 7th (or last) best, therefore the score is automatically a 0. Ya diiiiig?

That edit has been pretty much on loop since I first saw it. It's epic and I hope so much Colby is included next year and not just because of his humour, I've heard him called a 'joke skier' but theres nothing jokey about the skiing i've seen from him, its sick

Ohhhh that makes more sense. I was shocked when I heard they got a bunch of zeroes.

I think this video is gonna stick around. I don't remember too much about any of the winning videos from JOSS last year, but I remember all of Colby's impressions in his video.

I agree with other people, that double cork 12 colby threw down was beautiful
if that had been with a serious vibe to it, it would've done better
personally I enjoy the humor in it over team down under's

John Symms:

We won. Well, we got last place from the judges. However, where it counted, we fucking won. We won the People’s Choice Award. The crowd erupted for our video. Thus, we completely came through on that which we set out to accomplish at the beginning. That feels pretty good. Woot woot.

i think if colby and john acted like tanner and sammy throughout the edit that would have been really funny since they were supposed to be team USA

this is why there are times when i very strongly disagree with where jon's head is at. I definitely think that he adds alot to the sport, and his work ethic is unparalleled, BUT i also feel that alot of times he looks down upon others who dont agree with him. I say this like he wouldnt invite a team like colby and symms next year because theyre not as buisness-focused as he is.

These two kids are out there to have fun and ski and enjoy it. Why ISNT jon happy about having people like this at his event, people who push the sport and sports in general in the direction doing what is fun and enjoyable?There video is hilarious, original, well put together, and one that everyone has enjoyed. Give me one reason why that doesnt deserve an invitation to next years event

The one thing i don't get is why they say "jossiwells.com" in it when Jossi Wells is in a different team?
