Superunknown VI
Put together an edit, become super famous…it’s that simple.
This week Josh Berman and Level 1 Productions dropped the 25 finalists for this year’s Superunknown contest. Now in its sixth year, Superunknown has repeatedly proven to be the contest for up and coming skiers to make a name for themselves. With a spot in Bermans next film on the line, sponsorship options, and a foot in the door to the ski industry, this year’s contest drew hundreds of entries.
The level of skiing displayed is far greater than any in years past (with the exception of Wallisch’s Superunknown IV video…but he’s not human so that doesn’t count). This year’s top 25 have more spins, flips (and a few doubles), pretzels, afterbang, tall-tees, and Lil Wayne, than one person can count. Berman and crew, who have a notorious eye for style, no doubt have a tough decision on their hands.
The winner will follow in the foot steps of previous winners, Corey Vanular, JD Zicat, Mike Clarke, Tom Wallisch, and Jon Brogan. Even the runner-ups benneift from this contest. In years past loosing entrys have included: Ahmet Dadali, Mike Honrbeck, Ian Cosco, Nick Martini, and Mike Riddle…just to name a few.
So check ‘em out! Watch them all and let me know who you think deserves the win. Or if you don’t have the time, here are some of the top favorites over at newschoolers.com:

Sick Video: Tom Wallisch
Howdy Campers,
I recently found another sick video, but this video has more of a significance when it comes to park skiing nowadays. I’m sure everyone who skis park knows exactly who Mr. Tom Wallisch is, but do you know where he came from? Wallisch has shaped park skiing and so many people out there are inspired by him. He entered this video to a competition put on by a very well known production company – Level 1 Productions – and from there he blew up. Who knew that weekend-warrior from Pittsburgh, PA could turn into one of the best all around skiers on the planet. Watch and enjoy!

Three sick park skiers; one sick video
I found this super cool video on Vimeo by a dude named Kyle Decker. This edit is awesome, with the 3 best park skiers out there in my opinion (Mike Hornbeck, Ahmet Dadali, Henrik Harlaut) shredding on this super small hill somewhere in the states. Kyle Decker is one of the big-wigs at Level 1 Productions.
Be sure to get your butt up to Grouse Mountain, the Quiksilver park is goin off and MGT Camps are there this weekend. Without further adoooooooo…
keep it poppin,
chuck
PS – Still working with Future Shop to get a camera, still working with vimeo.com to set up a Vimeo+ account.
