Using a GoPro Hero cam someone just gave me. Pretty fun stuff, but I have a lot to learn about getting good vid. I had the angle all wrong for most of the runs, way too low.

Was my first time wearing a helmet so I was a little thrown off by that, but at least I didn't do anything dumb enough to hurt the camera.

Next time I'll hit the park and see if I can't get any more entertaining vids of jumps and whatnot.

Anyway...thanks for looking.


and yes....I'm aware that the song is wayyyyy too epic for my mundane footage.

edit: also, vid of how I turned by shin all black and blue at the very end.

Before I bore my way through this, do you hit a tree at any point?

Yup, skip to the very end video.

4:20

its slowed down so it doesnt look that bad, but my shin is a nasty color right now, it hurt.

I liked the vid. However, it made me incredibly sad. In the 15 or so years of riding in WA, I can count on both hands the number of times I got powder like that to board on.

I know how you feel though, I used to live on the east coast.

When you're first starting, expect:
Skiing = hurt groin
Snowboarding = hurt wrists, elbows

Damn that looks fun. When and where was that taken if you don't mind me asking. I don't get to ski on powder for more than a day at a time in NJ and I haven't skied in years. I need to try boarding.

edit
I should read replies first, huh?

Yeah, lake Tahoe, CA.

That vid is from Northstar which is my home resort, but they don't even get the most powder. Pretty amazing ski resorts up here. 0 lift lines weekdays too, can't beat it.
