At the end of January Chris Nelson, Ben Gunton, Paul Glavin, and myself hopped on a plane and headed to Colorado for the weekend. This year was the first time the SIA (Snowsports Industries America) tradeshow was in Denver instead of Vegas. It’s an industry exclusive show with all of the ski and board related companies showing off their new goods. Chris Nelson’s dad works with a few of the companies present, and I have worked in the ski industry for the past 5 years with 4Frnt skis, designing the artwork on their skis.
We all headed out to the tradeshow on Friday to check out next years’ products and such. Saturday, we headed up to the mountains and made our way over to Aspen to check out the X Games. On our way back we stopped at the tiny Echo Mountain near Evergreen Colorado. It’s the Mt. High of Denver. We all had a good time and put together this little edit. Check it out, or oot (Ben).

[..YouTube..] yeah !
[..YouTube..] Nice!
[..YouTube..] Nice, i bought one of these go pro hero cameras, i think exactly the same as the one you use and it was great for snowboarding in the snow here in england but its going to be tested to the max when i go to france to ski in a couple of days.
[..YouTube..] Actually myne isn’t hd but whatever :L
[..YouTube..] well it isnt in hd because these guys are using final cut studio by apple to drastically enhance their videos. final cut costs $999
[..YouTube..] nice
[..YouTube..] You guys must have a lotta money! USC + skiing + trips!? wow!
[..YouTube..] ^no, but we spend our money on what we like – the money we all work for! Plane tickets were 100 round trip.
[..YouTube..] 1:10 In Seattle, calling someone a “bro” is actually an insult
[..YouTube..] Very nice. Looks like a fun little park you guys found out there!
[..YouTube..] hah i liked it when you skied into the camera, and threw it on the ground and stuff.
[..YouTube..] lol i like thses peeps because they arnt super pro so i feel llike i can actuly do that
but the intro was to long
[..YouTube..] this is da SHIT!!!
[..YouTube..] jpawn, you don’t know what you’re talking about my friend. Abe’s cam shoots in 720, 960, or 1080p, and Final Cut, while expensive cannot add resolution to the footage. The footage looks sick untouched, then you add Abe’s skills on the Mac to it and you get these kick ass videos. give the guys some props man. You have no idea how hard it is to frame a shot as perfectly as they do with a camera that doesn’t have a view finder! Nice job again Abe!
[..YouTube..] big fan of your videos
[..YouTube..] another great video. nice that you guys scored free “shit”. one question though. what is the best pole for using the Mt. bike handle bar mount? Any help would be great. thanks!
[..YouTube..] Paul your 360 at the end of this video solidified my love for you even more.
[..YouTube..] I always use a ski pole – but you’ll probably need to wrap it in tape before it will stick tight. I have always just duct taped the angle brackets straight out of the end of the pole
[..YouTube..] thanks man! I’ll give it a try this weekend and see how it works. Keep up the good work and progression! I always enjoys the new videos!
[..YouTube..] just bought one im super stoked. keep it up man you guys are sick
[..YouTube..] So you just take the Camera and tape it straight to the pole or you gotta do something before you tape it to the pole?
What end of the pole do you use and what are the angle brackets? Sorry I’m new to this stuff and you make ridiculous videos, thought I would ask.
Check out the video, “Henry Hougen Productions” thats me and my broski, we need help making videos
[..YouTube..] henry. I think you’re great!!! everybody check out his recent production, “ballstothewalls,” its sick…
[..YouTube..] @apaulsen05 I love you Alexander the Great. Can’t wait for cliff jumping sessions
[..YouTube..] Abe I’m watching your videos over and over again every day and I love them! Just want it to be winter already
[..YouTube..] You guys flew all that way to go to Echo mountain? It is a locals hill, and by that I don’t mean you aren’t welcome there or anything, just that there are so many bigger places usually only locals ski there. Next trip, you have to check out Vail…even if it is only for a day.
[..YouTube..] @v12tommy Hah, no we went to Colorado for SIA and then went to Echo mountain because we only had a few hours and we had some good coupons. We love the park so it was fun! We’ve done Colorado trips like Nationals last year where we went to Winter Park for a week
[..YouTube..] how freaking awesome is the idea of throwing the hd hero^^
[..YouTube..] @jitpunkia ….me 2
[..YouTube..] u call that a small hill, my local hill is 55m high! but there’s a small park so..RESPECT!
