Time To Go Shredding
Man it’s here. We’re off to Morzine/Avoriaz today for a week of shredding. We’ve been pretty lucky because it’s snowed quite a bit this week, topping things up real nice. I know what it’s gonna be like tonight – the first night in the chalet – like a kid on Christmas Eve. I’ll be so [...]
Burton's Movie: For Right Or Wrong
I think I’m a little behind on this one… I only just downloaded and watched Burton’s For Right Or Wrong last night. As this was the first time I’ve given the movie any thought, my initial impression was that Burton had produced the film to be a free give-away. However I have seen at least [...]
Riding Footage From The 2005/2006 Season
OK, so I’ve finished editting the footage I had from last season (2005/2006). It was definitely fun making this sequence – I just wish I’d done it at the end of last season rather than the beginning of this one. Still, I managed to get it done before the first trip this year, so I [...]
Snow In Morzine
Oh yeah, it looks like there’s snow falling in Morzine and Avoriaz! I’m not gonna get too carried away, but as the forecast stands now it seems that the temperature is dropping big time, and there’s a decent dump on the way, maybe 25cm on Tuesday. Sweet! Make it so.
Argh – Tricksy Movie Maker
Well I’ve just spent about an hour fiddling on with Windows Movie Maker, it’s frustrating. I use Movie Maker in the process of getting my video onto YouTube: Edit the raw footage in Adobe Premiere Pro Save the video sequence as an avi file Open the avi file in Windows Movie Maker Drop the whole [...]
Make It Cold
So that pre-holidy stoke that I was talking about has the current weather conditions to fight against. I think most people are aware that it’s been a slow start to the season in Europe due to the high temperatures – and Morzine currently isn’t fairing too well. I’m really hoping it gets colder, fast, so [...]
Pre Holiday Stoke
Over the last couple of nights I’ve been putting something together from last season’s footage. For a few different reasons – mainly because of losing my video camera – I haven’t gotten around to doing this until now. Well, I wanted to get something done before I go away this season so that I can [...]
Les Deux Alpes Summer Park Pictures
Here are some pictures from the summer snowboard park in Les Duex Alpes, taken 2006. They’re not the best pictures, in particular they don’t always show scale, and they don’t show the complete park. They do however give an indication of the size, layout, and makeup of the park. My break-down of beginner, intermediate and [...]
