Here's the edit from the Fernie footage, January 2008. I made a lot of posts while I was out there, so if you wanna read about the trip, use this tag.
I hope you enjoy it. The song is "Title And Registration" by Death Cab For Cutie. See below for comments...
Thoughts about this video
- Wow! I didn't land a thing. Seriously, there's way too many shots in here with me washing out on the landings. Sitting back with my weight in the wrong place. Sure, some of the landings were un-even and choppy, but I had two weeks to get it down. Oops, better luck next time!
- What's with all the frontside 3s? As I remember, I landed a few really nice, fairly big (for me) fs 3s, when we didn't have the camera out. So everytime we were filming something I had it in my head that I wanted to nail one, totally clean. Nice perseverance, but with limited filming some variety would have been cool.
- Same thing with that little road section and the 3 consecutive drops. I should have tried some straight airs, and just got something in the bag, then tried something harder.
- Not many shots of me ripping up some pow. Shame, because there was loads of it. That's how it goes though, and hey, who wants to film on a powder day?
- Frontside 3s are hard to land smooth? More and more I'm finding backside 3s much more open as you come 'round to land - it's not blind like it is with a fs 3. I'm sure that a lot of this is my own, not quite there yet, technique. So next time I'm thinking more backside 3s, and maybe try cab 5, as it's got the same final rotation as a bs 3.
Final comment: Fernie is awesome! Check out all the pow and all the natural hits. Sweet!

I would LOOOOOOVE to go to Fernie!
yeah you should go... how far is it from Vancouver?
Super tight editing dude... that was truly a pleasure to watch :)
Look forward to seeing more afterbang footage in 2009! :D
Thanks mate! I'm hoping to get a good amount of footage again this trip (Morzine, Jan 2009), and hopefully some more solid landings :)
Cheers, Gav
Wow, your rotations have progressed a lot. I'm still trying to land my first backside 180 and dreaming of 3's... Heh... Inspiring, thanks for posting. :)
Thanks Zaskoda,
I've got some footage fresh from my trip to Morzine... it's kinda different, although I haven't streamed any of it yet so I don't really know what it looks like.
I've been asking questions about my riding... let's see what it turns out like.
Hey Gavin, great vid. Im going to Morzine for the last week of the season. It will be my first ever snowboarding hol. Cant wait. Iv got my Handycam ready.
Hey Pistol, thanks! Hope you enjoy Morzine too!
