BradFiAusNzCoCaIn my mind, the “golden era” was more about the filming than anything else. Big budgets, big productions. Renting out resorts. Big premieres.
The skis, selection, gear, clothes etc. were limited and not as good as today. Nor was the accessibility.
SlowbroField, PBP, Level 1, Rage, Stept, and MSP
SlowbroYeah. I miss the higher production values and crazy park builds that came with older movies. I also liked the more cinematic presentation (with actual good b-roll, skiers names on screen, introductions to segments, more exotic locations etc) that is never in new edits.
Field, PBP, Level 1, Rage, Stept, and MSP were all very distinct too which meant there was good variety in content.
New school stuff is good too but feels weirdly samey and without professional stuff to contrast against the camcorder dadcam stuff has become the dominant style and is already getting tired IMO.
Farmville420B-roll in a lot of new edits is honestly a big turn off for me too. Like idk, I feel like older films showed b roll that was more relevant to the skiing in the edit/movie. Like people carrying equipment, building spots, breaking stuff, police interactions, slams and that kinda shit. Lately I feel like I see a lot of people doing goofy stuff and it’s like, you might be funny as fuck but does it really contribute to the edit if it’s just you saying dumb stuff, dancing, or drinking a beer? Idk I feel like I’m some videos the skiing is secondary and the skier and their personality is the primary focus, which might be too deep of an analysis but I kinda see it like that. Idk. Strictly doin it right tho their movies are like those golden age cinematic masterpieces with a little extra gnar
BradFiAusNzCoCaI think the smoking a blunt b roll is the lamest lately. You don’t look like Wiz or Snoop

Farmville420For real. It’s not really an issue in a lot of the latest and greatest movies of the past season (forrmula, slim to none, most gutter, chargeur, etc.) but I feel like with edits and mini-movies it’s superrrr potent and kinda gets old fast.
Ofc b roll is necessary but sometimes it can be too much and just straight up kill the flow of a project
WoFlowzInteresting takes. I can agree B-Roll can get excessive. But I think having more BRoll if done right makes it more than a ski movie. Movies I love seem too have more than just the skiing, Nevermind, Eat the Guts, Capeesh?, 12dB, and snowboard flics like How dark blue feels, I wanted most, dream castle etc. all have clips that show a little personality not just ski ski ski. And I think these kinda can bridge the gap between a strictly ski movie and a hate to say it but vlog or documentary
GrandThingsI still have no idea who/what/the actual deal behind Jetskis actually is, but I think they're cool asf and love everything they do

cbjWearing a shirt on your head looks stupid as hell.
Farmville420I think in terms of editing, cinematography, soundtrack, and pretty much all artistic elements, Bermuda is the best movie not just of this generation but probably all time. Never seen anything as complete and detail oriented in years, and the creativity is just out of this world. Not talked about a lot but I watched it the other day and couldn’t help but try and think of a movie where editing matched Bermuda’s quality, and I straight up couldn’t lol

nCrowIdk, the song in Carson Kerr's part hurts my ears

Farmville420Lol yeah, were u there too?
BradFiAusNzCoCaYes I was haha
Farmville420I’ll be at the next one so maybe I’ll see u there

JacobthesadskierThere's no variety in edits anymore, as was said before, Music, tricks, style, filming, even the goddamn parks are the same. I don't really even watch new edits that much anymore, because I know one's basically the same as the next by this point.
BradFiAusNzCoCaL1 is like a mile or so from where I live now so I plan to go to a few of the showings so most likely

GrandThingsThis comment made me watch it again.
Benny Smith segment is dope and the Most Gutter parts are all sick. I do feel like a bunch of the shots from this movie got posted on insta (?) and Zanher also had realski that year (?) which hurt it when it first released but now watching it all back together as a whole it's a 10/10.
(Not the best movie of all time tho)

SchizoSkierFuck supporting local ski shop, I’m not paying 700$ for some skis I can get for 500 online. Also I brought my surface givers in about a year ago to get some bindings mounted, I left a note that said “center mount” and they ignored it and mounted my -4 cm back and when I told them they said they wouldn’t fix it unless I paid to have them re mounted (50$). If I need something that I can’t order online or need to get skis mounted for 30 bucks I’ll just go to christys.

Jemsyou probably have a shitty local shop, a lot of us around minnesota are very loyal to a shop called pinewskis. I will never get my skis touched by anyone else but them.
BingPowfirst off look for good local deals, i’d say 500 for new skis is still too steep
cool270outMt hood summer footy makes me sleepy
SchizoSkierMost gutter > zootspace. Come at mee
WoFlowzeat the guts or hard style or most gutter or children of the guam > zoot
SchizoSkierDon’t fret > most gutter > zootspace
WoFlowzi don’t even put all those over each other they’re all mental to begin with but i agree there’s better/on par movies with zootspace
