Sammy Carlson's YUP .... NOPE

I just watched Sammy's new edit, I vomited 3 times. Even though I didn't pay for it, I want my fucking money back.

Overall Length: 834 seconds
Non-skiing Filler: 252 seconds

Just over 30% of the entire edit is NOT SKIING. But don't worry, 100% of the audio is ADR, meaning ITS NOT FUCKING REAL. Oh, you pulled stock sound bites of a guy rubbing his balls in the sand and you think it adds to the skiing? IT SOUNDS LIKE FUCKING GARBAGE! But hey, Warren Miller Entertainment does it so it must be cool, right? Yeah, the fucking gapers who rarely ski and don't know what it sounds like really love it. I guess you're hitting your target audience with that one!

Seriously though, did you really have to use the same 3 sound effects for every turn even if they were in completely different conditions? I have to admit, you do have balls for even using ADR on Sammy himself by hiring a 50-something pedophile on voice.com. Abomber must be jealous.

Sammy, you're hilarious. That was the best joke since mirroring your shots at Windell's to trick people into thinking you could spin both ways when you couldn't. You should team up with Gus Kenworthy to make the first ever CGI ski edit. I bet Andri Ragettli would host it on his youtube channel so you could get more than a 1,000 views, you fucking has-been. I can't wait to see how "MEGA ULTRA STOKED!" steepsteep gets off this pile of garbage.


Fucking hell, skiing is dead. Fuck everyone.

CT_CREWAlso curious if the haters have ever climbed and skied an actual "big mountain line" with a natural, uncontrolled, unskied snowpack? Might change how you think a bit.

this is a bad point. it's like saying you can't dislike any music if you haven't written a #1 hit yourself. i think that it's cool and all but like, we've all seen warren miller movies. it's just kind of boring at this point. no one here's denying that it doesn't take skill and i'm sure plenty of us would jump at the chance to do it but it's not like we're seeing something new.

Just watched it on the big screen with the sound cranked... Unreal. The way they shot some of those lines was next level, POV to drone to conventional. You really got to see the steepness and 3 dimensionality of the line. The chute, the spines, the uphill spots, the take off and landing zones. It really gave you an idea of what those lines were like. The use of Ozzy was unexpected and inspired. And like the guy above said, these people bitching have prob never skied an ungroomed surface.

That’s what I’m saying man. I feel like big mountain drone shots often come out weird, and POV almost always sucks. But all the angles, etc they got in this edit are crazy…and then you have the terrain and skiing to match.

Yeah exactly, if you yourself have no musical talent, don’t go publicly talk trash on someone else with talent who made music and published it. Just decide you don’t like it and don’t listen to it….

If you don’t like big mountain skiing don’t watch it.

I’ve seen a cork 7 blunt before, guess what? I wanna see another one.


if you wanted to have a real good time you would go trip face, and watch “Snow Motion” “The skiing outtakes from “Fire and Ice”” ,a loosely plotted movie with skiing…..But you ain’t never gonna find it.

eheathI find it funny that people complain about high end production in ski video. Would you rather have wind noise and silence? I can get behind a SFX being unnecessary here and there, but sound design is pretty important for full immersion into the video, I'd much rather have some extra sounds than no sound at all.


In terms of production your right, there's gotta be an in between tho just doesn't sit right with me listening to fake ski sounds 💁🏽

This Tom Wallisch edit uses sound effects and nobody cared.

don't know why you're talking about publicly trash talking, as i'm not doing it. i'm saying that what he did just did not appeal to me.

Sammy ever-so-slightly let his arm drop back just a bit in one of those shots. Unreal. I can't believe someone would even release an edit like this. Super shitty. He's washed.

humanresourcescorporate skiing is a threat to the authenticity of the culture.

If you want to watch videos that have more progressive filming, editing, and creative direction in general, then there's plenty of really good amateur content out there. Some might even say we're in a golden age. With projects like this, it's pretty unsurprising that they'll cater to the lowest denominator considering their target audience and how they're trying to appeal to a broad group of people (not necessarily the people who use this forum). I still enjoyed this video because the skiing was dope, even if there were things that I disliked about it. I'm not necessarily a fan of "corporate skiing" but it's good that people like sammy carlson get paid
