What is missing from sledding movies?

Old footage

Taking a chapter from Warren Miller's ski movies...

Some old snowmobile footage could be fun to break things ups and it would give you a look at how far the sport has come. Not to mention all the nifty fashions they had back then...:rolleyes:
 
Take the best things out of these

1. Team Summit: Jlowe puts a great story line and personality portfolio together and you are hooked and HAVE to buy next years vid to see whats going on with the group. Not to mention, good quality footage and editing.

2. 509 Films: Variations in whats being filmed, interesting, informative, and funny spots in the Extras. Great climbing scenes. Riders that are not in 4 or 5 films/film companies each year. Good editing. Some outstanding still photos that should have been in the extras section :D (LMAO, just looking for some of my work to make the film and not just the cover TOM ;)

3. Summit HD films: AWESOME BOONDOCKING footage with excellent and difficult to do set ups for camera angles, and Bluray disc burning

4. Thunderstruck: Regular team riders you can count on seeing again. Great climbing footage. Good editing and effects(Jlowe)

5. Slednecks/Compound films etc. : Outstanding footage on unique riding styles and amazing feats each year.

6. BOOST series: The best 4 stroke turbo series out there.

7. Roops series: Shreddog keeps it simple and packs a lot of riding in an incredible area to ride (Stewart, BC) a place that mopst of us dream of riding someday.

8. Sledporn: Funny chit and T&A to go along with good riding. One of my personal favs

9. Mountain Mod: Gregs willingness to hit the big 3 events each year and collect decent footage from all 3 and his sweet sled he gets built each year.

10. Extreme team: Regular team riders we look forward to seeing and great climbs from mostly 2 stroke sleds, turbo and nonturbo.

11. Extreme Velocity: Thomas always makes a classy filmed movie designed to hit a broad audience. Usually the music is new and fresh and good.

12. Boondockers: Well, it has some of the best back country footage for drops and deep powder riding.

And definitely ANY filmakers that have chicks that can shred on a sled has my vote! I LOVE watching chicks ride. It is NC17 porrn for me :eek::beer;

I know I forgot some but thats a start of ideas and important facts to any of the new or existing filmakers out there. I am not a professional critic but I own all of these films and watch them WAYYYYYYY too much. Plus I produced an outdoor adventure TV show and sold DVD's of that show and had to please the fans all the time to stay on TV. Hopefully this helps someone whether you disagree or not.

What's this ? someone actually talking in a positive manner about filmmakers ?? this is sacrilege ! Except ya did miss Slednecks :D

Good on ya bro.
 
For me, more deep powder riding and more helmet cams. What I don't see is very technical climbing in dense trees where body english and throttle control with a helmet or sled cam in untouch powder. That is what I would like. Could also look at multiple sleds climbing with helmet cam guy in back showing it all.

I guess a storyline is okay if it doesn't remove the sled riding. But it has to be better that a **** plot and better acting. Gotta have some class to it. :)

I agree that there is too much heavy metal music. But all this jumping stuff is not for me.

Great thread, I'll give my .02; the music thing is kinda tuff to nail down I don't like the hard stuff ( liked most all of 509 evo.) but everyone is different I think the best option is the ones that offer music, no-music sled only, or mix sled& music. Other sports like in Alticity 3 with tubing canada style :D and riding in the dunes. Some of what goes into building a $20k + chute climber, mostly just good guys having fun, playing pranks, and some good shots of them riding.
 
Hey guys'
More crashes for shure, I don't like to see the guys get hurt but thats part of the risk they take. (and we all take when riding) And when you can hear the sleds thats always good, put the music in between. And girls on trampoline's in the cold with bikini's.

Thanks Brent. Appreciate it. I respect you guys and I KNOW what it takes. See ya Friday night. :beer; BTW, Slednecks is # 5 ;)

I would like to see a 1 minute feature on the rider or sled before each segment. Something that I could identify with more than just the brand of his sled or the color of his jacket.
 
I want to see more than a bunch of 3 sec clips spliced together. Talk a bit about the area you are riding in and actually show it in a way that might make me want to go there.
 
Just finished burning my movie last night. If you want to see the average (well maybe a little better then average joe) I can send you my video. Still working on a cover for it though. I was thinking I could put it up on my site and sell it there. Anyone interested.

It's about time!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been Waaaaaiiiiiiting!!!!! :D
 
I will be getting it to you soon. I still have to work on the cover unless you just want a dvd with no cover on it. I can burn you one on monday and send it to you right away. Just let me know. Sorry it has taken so long but I do have a day job and go to school. :)LOL.

Dude you are a sled vid addict! Put the remote down and slowly back away from the plasma.

I have a little film trick up my sleave this year :D eh BB? Don't tell anyone!
 
I really like the old slednecks videos when they used to have the Tex games, and would show guys doing dumb stuff in there trucks etc. Being from the East I really like watching some of the stuff you guys had to drag your trucks thru just to go ride. It would be cool to see how you guys get the sleds unstuck from some of the crazy deep stuff. More real guys/gals riding. Last time I checked most of us didnt have 15 sleds to choose from when 1 gets wrecked. How about some shady trail fixes, guys sinking there sleds etc. I cant believe someone hasnt done any trial footage from some eastern states. I'm sure alot of guys out west could not believe some of the trail conditions or lack there of are in some places. There will be railroad beds that make snocross tracks look like childs play. And they will be 50 miles long. Do a contest and take some flatlanders out west and film them for laughs then take some guys from out west and get them to ride east so there can be a real connection between the 2 very different styles of riding.
