Hi Newschoolers! I have always been really stoked on watching peoples summer rail edits, it's fun to see all the creative setups and new tricks people come up with in their backyards in the summer. This summer I have gathered some really cool prizes from my sponsors and I'm launching a summer rail edit contest. I hope everybody who continues skiing in the summer will participate and together we'll make this into a really fun thing for everyone!

https://www.newschoolers.com/watch/773659.0/The-Summer-Rail-Challenge---Edit-Contest

Check out the contest website for all the info, rules, prizes & more:

The submission deadline is the 1st of September.

Let me know if you have any questions about the contest!

Finished making the waterfall! I probably won't be able to enter this contest due to me not having time to film a full edit this summer but you should be seeing it in a Totally Trevor contest entry soon;)

Got one if you dig through my IG, but I won't real ease a vid unless I get the whole thing. I have limited time there because it's at my cabin 4 hours out from where I live and I'm trying to focus on other shots that are a little easier to get.

Hey everybody. Just a very quick warning. If you're planning to upload your video to Youtube, please be aware that in Europe we have really strict music copyright laws so there's a chance that we won't be able to watch your videos. We suggest you either choose an unknown artist (soundcloud is a good place to find these with free downloads) or you upload your edit to Vimeo instead which doesn't have the same copyright restrictions... yet. Thanks to everybody who has submitted an edit so far, we're stoked on the level and creativity of everybody involved. Cheers, Amplid.

Some serious fire landed in the video submission mail box this morning! Check-out the latest videos here:

Scroll to the bottom to see the latest edits.

We've got to sleep at some point. Europe's a minimum of 8 hours ahead of the US. Your edit went up first thing this morning. Nice work.

Just a quick reminder to anybody who still wants to submit a video entry, we need to receive your entry by midnight tonight PST.

dude, your setup is fucking unreal, I'm so jealous xD you end up falling at the end of that monster long rail?
And is that tank (gas tank?) in the background in use? I always wanted to sandpaper one real good to make a fat metal tube...

some crazy competition in some entries though

I didn't fall (honest truth), I can assure you that I went to the future through that wormhole. The summer setups of the year 2069 are all like that. People just slide rails that are 69.420ft long as an average. I met a kid who did all 16 dub swap 270s on one. Another kid did a disaster 6 on continuing 4. I met yet another who took his drop in to all the urban spots from Mutiny to recreate Stept's movie in the summer. The future of summer glaciers is fading but the future for summer setups is bright! #globalmelting #kooklyfe4prez

The gas tank is very much in use. Cabin is heated by liquid propane which is the only thing keeping the pipes from freezing when it hits -50F up there. Hopefully I will be able to retire it someday.

haha fair enough xD wouldn't you have to spin more than 2015 (like 6 on 4 switch ups 8 out?) or complete over 2015 inches? hmmm. I could totally see more and more people just going around town setting up portable droppins and put some watery turf as a a landing to hit urban. Just when you though urban couldn't get any sketchier: summer urban :O
