 The snow part was awesome, but the rest wasn't really anything new or inspirational.
The filming wasn't bad, maybe try to tempt some pro level riders for the next movie.

 you guys must be joking right? that video has it all, DJ/FR/DH and some gnarly jumps&drops! I even remember seeing some past PODs in this video aswell.

everyone here can make a better movie and ride twice as good as those guys did, right? geez ...

 The DH was totaly awesome!!! A little tired of watching DJ though. Its impressive because I know I cant to any of it but its soo bleedin boring. Maybe I just love DH too much... Great video though. Gets my three thumbs up... Yes Three!

 actually you're right, there's a lot of space for progress. Don't worry we'll work on it Wink but we only spend a few days at these parks in South France and we never hit such huge staff before, so it was quite scarry and we didn't want to kill ourself xD.

 you swiss are true gentleman. Thanks for the info, and the vid. Don't listen to these kids about what needs to be changed this and that. Nothing will ever be good enough. Everthing has to be an NWD quality vid in their eyes. IMO, this vid was more enjoyable than any of the NWD's after the 3rd one. Rock on guys!

You should link to the file somewhere. I'd love to add this to the collection of killer vids I have.

 Those snow hucks look biiiig! Love to try out snow riding!

Awesome Chatel (?) section too.

On the other hand, the braking in the berms is really not a good thing. I get that you want the roost for effect, but thats exactly how berms get ruined. Not clever.

Otherwise i really enjoyed the vid.

 The snow session looked a good laugh. Reminded me of the Mega. It's good to see people are not scared of making long films and posting them up on here now. Ok it may not be on par with the likes of the anthill productions with all the top riders but, It's local riders capturing what everyone loves abut the sport. Having fun. good effort guys and well done Philip.

 this is a great movie! it doesnt have pro riders (as far as i know), and they guys are insanly good at riding. it makes it super easy to relate to, and enjoy. it goes to show, you can make a great video even if your not the best rider in the world.
cheers guys!

 yes we're no pro riders, but we are still quite happy with it Smile.

First Movie, made with only one camera, more or less only teamriders, 3 of the spots were shaped built by our crew, low budget movie, and if you look closely you'll remark, that the same persons who were riding DJ,FR,DH, also filmed and edited the movie!

 Hey bont, I enjoyed your film, Im sorta at the same level of filming and rider availability and would like to make a film too. what did u guys have to do to get sponsors? like santa cruz and stuff?

flag bont (May 19, 2010 at 13:45)
 write proposals, send pictures and good videos, or even better: get in personal contact with the persons behind the brand.
actually they are "only" supporter of our team, they give us their products cheaper, but that's it for the moment. But actually sponsors are interested in Videos like that, eventhough they don't pay much for it (look at the views of the video after 3 days and everyone of them has seen the brands, it's like a free commercial for the brands)

 For windows internet explorer. Play the video, let it load completely, when it's done, go to tools > under browsing history click settings > click view files, it'll show you ALL the data that is downloaded in order for sites to be viewed on your computer. Organize the files (if it isn't already) to most recently accessed, the video should be on top.
