Riding Footage From The 2006/2007 Season
Sunday, July 01, 2007
I've put together the video I've taken over the 3 weeks of winter riding in the '06/'07 season: Avoriax, Flims/Laax and a little from the backcountry in Lenzerheide.
I'm pleased with what was taken, but I want to do more next season. I want to hit more features off-piste, and if I'm in the park I want to go a little bigger and land some smooth rotations.
You'll see at the end the first barrel rolls I attemped in Laax. That was a fun day; I think those attempted backflips set the ball in motion...
There are two tracks playing. The first is Haiti (iTunes UK / iTunes USA) by Arcade Fire and the second is I Feel It All (iTunes UK / iTunes USA) by Feist. Hope you enjoy it...

I've joined together the clips taken in Avoriaz earlier this year. This is the first time I've done anything with video from the new camera and I've encountered a problem - the aspect ratio, which should be widescreen.
No doubt I'm missing something obvious, but my usual route of importing my .avi into Windows Movie Maker and doing the compression there led to the image being squashed...
Anyhow, it's getting late, this thing is bugging me out and I've still got a handful of things to get sorted for the Laax trip this Saturday. So, here's the (squashed) video, I'll sort it out properly when I return. Enjoy.
Update: I was missing something really simple with the aspect ratio. I've now replaced the video with the correct one... Also, the song that I've used in the sequence is New Slang by The Shins. Here's an iTunes link (UK store):
