Want To Win $5000?

The clock is ticking down on the SanDisk Best Photo Sequence contest. April 1, 2010 is the deadline – which means you only have about 30 days to get your sequences uploaded for a chance to win $5,000!

SanDisk has teamed up with Freeskier to put on this epic photo sequence contest. Here’s how it works:

1. Get out on the hill and shoot some sequences

2. Morph your sequences

3. Upload your best sequences (from this year or from years past) to BestPhotoSequence.com.

4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 throughout the season as many times as you’d like.

5. Sit back and wait to see if you’ve won the grand prize of $5,000 cash money.

The contest closes April 1, 2010, so get to it, and good luck!

Poor Boyz Productions: Revolver

“Revolver” If you haven’t already heard of it, this is the follow up to the highly hyped “Everyday is a Saturday” movie from Poor Boyz Productions. This year, they’ve dropped an extremely early and extremely sick teaser. The cast is pretty much made up of the same boys give or take a few. However, that doesn’t really matter because these guys are absolutely killing it!

Check out what’s been going down!

Gear Teaser!

Get stoked for new gear and another epic season, ladies and gentlemen! The SIA Convention has wrapped up in Denver, Colorado. For those of you who may have not heard of it, check this out.

Basically, it;s a massive teaser for all the newest gear droppin’ next year! So far the companies repping our sport are doin an excellent job of it!

Go Pro!

Have you ever claimed an epic line just to be shot down by non-believers? Or wanted to have your own personal filmer but no one’s down to miss out on laps? Well, the new Go Pro Hero is basically the best POV camera money can buy. It records on SD cards, is shockproof and waterproof, so you can take the gnarliest of falls and know you got the footy! The only real disadvantage to this camera seems to be the lithium-based AAA batteries, which it kills quickly, but that aside, this camera is the only way to go for you POV fans out there.

Check out Tom Wallisch absolutely slaying some runs at the Breckenridge Dew Tour stop, entirely shot on GoPro cams mounted on a ski pole and the helmet of the man himself.

A Day With The Grouse Pro Team

Recently, there was a competition up on the site in which three riding related questions were asked. This month’s winner, Eric Behn, won an Oakley prize pack as well as a day of riding for him and three buddies with the Grouse pro team!

Despite the lack of snow, I think I can speak for all of us when I say it was still a super awesome day. Check out how the session went down!

Ride!

As a skier, I came to realize very early on that you can never expect too much from the hill or the weather.  You must make do with what is handed to you.  This year, being an El nino season, has very much been that for all of us riders.  Instead of complaining about ice hurting, rain melting our jumps into jumps for ants and causing our rails to  slide down the slopes, we should just be stoked that we even have this amazing sport and it will become that much better when the temperature drops and the goods start fallin!!

Here’s some shots of Saturday! Keep hyped!

Happy New Year!!

So finally 2010 is here to stay, snow is on the slopes, skis and boards on our feet…or at least thats where they should be…and if that’s the case, then there should also be smiles on our faces!

I thought to kick off the 2010 season, I’d share one of my personal favourite 08/09 season edits, thus ending last season with good vibes and starting this one with the same vibes and limitless possiblities for the upcoming year.

Gus Kentworthy broke his collar bone during one of the Dew tour stops recently.. here is the self edit result of his boredom.

Keep it real Grouse!
