Is Social Media Burning Out Ski Hype?

the more daily bangers the bettA

If you personally get sick of over-saturation you can always un-follow the people spamming the hell out of it, but the reason you followed them in the first place is because you love skiing. I will say certain things get over posted, like Camp Windells I think is over covered but it is what it is.

I will say though Bishop, that when you guys really started amping up the social media cross posting, my personal visits to the site fell a good bit. If I can get the best of the weeks coverage from the NS facebook, why bother going to the site? I mean I still come here for the forums but the more casual user I can see never logging in.

I do feel like there is a similarity between the comment about why go to my friends house when I can watch it on my PC now and my friend can watch it on his PC as well that is echoed in gaming. Once internet became fast enough and cheap enough, Split screen gaming all but vanished. I am old enough to remember the days of me and my friends dragging 4 TVs and xboxs over and having an all weekend 16 player Halo 1 LAN party. Those days were great but ever since the internet came to be we now play together online instead of in person, but we do so with much more frequency because of how easy it is. So the question you need to ask yourself is would you rather be able to discuss more ski trailers together because you and your friends all watch them at home when you have the time, or try and organize days where you all get together and do it as a group? Personally I tend to air to the side of Ill watch it on my own and talk about it later, with maybe a movie premier or two a year being the throwback to the old days.

Sorry for the rambling post, I need to go to bed =)

For sure, that's why no one comes on ns anymore. But I will go through instagram and see the same post a dozen times by an athlete and his sponsors and filmers and friends. It just gets old. But i will always buy DVDs and shit to support groups like Hood crew.

Mr.BishopWhat do you stream from through said Chromecast?

If I'm at home, whatever I pull up on my phone or desktop, on newschoolers or slvsh, vimeo, whatever, I watch on a bigger TV with better audio with chromecast

That is basically what I assume the next wave of videos on the TV in the living room will run off of. Mobile interface which has decently slick navigation, and then streaming from a mobile device to a Chromecast/AppleTV/Roku.

Anyone else do this?

Talk me through exactly what you use to watch skiing on your xbox. Leave out the stuff you do for normal movies, only skiing if you could!

Yeah, i do this all the time with the iPhone and Apple TV using the mirroring function of Airplay on the phone to broadcast to the tv. Its the best thing ever.

I think your assumption is right, however its still tough to do if you aren't on the apple ecosystem. Maybe its easy with Android and chromecast too, idk.

Yeah its super easy with android/chromecast.

Basically this is our theory we ran with for the new video galleries we're working on for Newschoolers. The core video experience would be holding that phone in your hand and streaming to a box attached to a TV.

The old one bet on media center computers, which didn't take.

The new one will allow you much easier access to do exactly this. iOS and Android both make this extremely easy.

Woah im with it

fghtoffyrdmnsWoah im with it

I mean we're hoping it turns out well. Been taking a bunch of revisions but we're pretty close to getting the beta out.

Yes, i think i rewatched TBC like 5-6 times since coming across a chromecast. Its fucking amazing.

Mr.BishopWhere was your video source from?

PS4 using the browser directly? You also talking about vimeo, or other sites?

For what its worth Bishop, I watch NS on my main TV because my desktop PC is hooked to my living room TV direct via HDMI. Its glorious. I get the impression I am an edge case though.

Yeah I mean that is what I used to do and we built everything around video viewing for that.

It definitely isn't the case though, seems like many more people have skipped that and just use airplay / chromecast.

Being someone who owns a desktop alone is a minority thing now, basically relegated to gamers and professionals.

Yep.

I want to complain about long teasers/trailers.

I've seen several trailers for movies coming out soon that are like 30 seconds of names and then basically a 3 and a half minute edit that shows a whole bunch of full length shots from the movie, and showing pretty much every spot they hit. I like when the brief ones that will show the first 3/4 of the trick to build hype and then you gotta get the movie to see if he landed, or when they pan through a street spot and you're like "is someone gonna hit that??"

I think taking all your best shots and putting them in the trailer spoils it. it sucks when you go see a comedy only to find out that all the funny lines were in the trailer, and I feel the same way about ski and snowboard movies.
