Happypro is one of our favorite film crews, and I think the trailer makes it obvious why. Big congratulations go out to the HP family, as they may be the very first trailer of the year without a single timelapse shot of clouds or traffic. Keep your eyes out for the free download, and check some of HP’s edits below.
Happypro “DIO” Trailer
Written by Jon Hartley on July 24th, 2010
Lazy Hazy
Written by Jon Hartley on July 21st, 2010Hey everybody, sorry for the recent silence here in BroBombland; we decided to take an unannounced and unofficial vacation. In the spirit of vacation, here’s a non-skiing video that’s just really damn cool. I don’t know too much about surfing, but I feel like the creativity and ingenuity in this video is in the same spirit as every kid who has made the most out of a crappy hill and crappy snow. Enjoy, and look for video and product reviews to kick into high gear in the near future!
P.S. Thanks to Paul Braunstein for the Vimeo discovery!
Happypro at Fonna
Written by Jon Hartley on July 14th, 2010Fonna in the sun (pun!). Happypro and friends bring you some smile-inducing shred from Folgefonna in Norway.
P.S. Is this the first time subliminal cow humping has made it into ski media? Shit’s golden!
“All In” Trailer from Chaoz Productions
Written by Jon Hartley on July 13th, 2010This is probably old news for our European readers, but I don’t think it’s been posted on this side of the world wide web yet. This trailer proves that there are a thousand unknown kids with weird Scandinavian names who could dominate any given competition on any given day. It also proves an old point Chris made about European vs. North American video style, but they’re starting to do the grimy jib thing pretty well too.
Cody’s Guide to Surfing
Written by Cody Townsend on July 12th, 2010While conducting a soon-to-be-complete interview with Cody, we learned that he is not only a star of Salomon Freeski TV and all around extreme dude, but also an avid surfer. Growing up on the sandy shores of Santa Cruz gave Cody ample opportunity to learn the ins and outs of local surf culture, and he’s such a nice guy that he’s decided to pass that knowledge on to you.
Something Like a Lion
Written by Jon Hartley on July 8th, 2010A new trailer for the Eric Iberg directed Tanner Hall doc “Like a Lion” just came out. It’s a strange and amorphous project that still defies any easy categorization by we of the snark blog persuasion, but things are getting a bit clearer. I’ve already covered my hopes for the project, so I won’t bore you with those details. At this point we can just be glad that Mik D and Candide actually got in front of a camera for interviews about Tanner. I wish Iberg would have lured them with an interview, but tricked them into actually skiing park in front of a camera again. Alas, every dream can’t come true.
I bet they didn’t get the name from this Decemberists song of the same title.
Too Hot For Living
Written by Jon Hartley on July 7th, 2010It’s hot as nuts out there people. Weather like this makes me want to smack every moron that complains all winter and wishes for summer-heat-hell death to arrive sooner. We’ve noticed that your BB commenting habits have fallen off a bit, but who can really blame you? We can’t really muster up any snowthusiasm in this heat either.
A couple of our more anticipated shred flicks have dropped trailers (Eye Trip and Come Find Us). Normally we’d have lots to say about silly developments like this, but GODDAMN IT’S HOT! So if your AC is working, do us all a favor and muster up the energy to offer an opinion or comment on skiing’s recent developments. I’ve got to get my hands away from this keyboard before my skin melts.
Guide to Summer: Other Crap continued…
Written by Ryan Dunfee on July 6th, 2010Plan B: Lacrosse Camp
If you haven’t found your athletic calling in a real sport, why not try lacrosse? Despite its Native American origins, “lax” now more closely resembles the bastard protestant son of hockey, soccer, football, tennis and jai alai. Lacrosse, much like skiing, revolves not so much around the raw talent of the athlete as in football or soccer, but around the number of camps and summer leagues you can cram into your summer, as well as your proximity to Darien, Connecticut. Lacrosse is the identity crisis of the American WASP laid out bare on a grass field, combining elements of bravery (getting bashed with a metal stick while trying to run), cowardice and formal attire (it’s okay to suit up in your seersucker shorts after the game and a good dip sesh’), equipment confusion (how many fucking pads am I supposed to wear? Less than hockey, but more than football?), purely arbitrary inventiveness (running around while “cradling” a ball in a modified tennis racket attached to a pole), and ample chest-beating, all while letting you hang out with wealthier sluts than the football and basketball crowd.
All they're missing are some cool lanyards.
Happy Birthday Amurica!
Written by Jon Hartley on July 3rd, 2010
Happy 4th of July weekend America. For you foreigners, this is a weekend of roman candles, bottle rockets, and other pyrotechnic pleasures. If you live in a place where folks tend to carry guns (the hood and Texas), it’s also a nice time to sit on your porch and listen to people celebrating freedom the old fashioned way—shooting at the sky.
Guide to Summer: Other Crap to Do
Written by Ryan Dunfee on July 1st, 2010
As a proud SASS employee, Ryan knows a thing or two about summer. Unfortunately, he also knows a thing or two about getting stuck behind in North America while all your homies slay pow in Argentina. Out of heartbreak comes, well, semi-aggressive ideas for a summer spent in the northern hemisphere. Enjoy!
