Sorry we couldn’t embed this, WordPress ain’t down with the javascript. You’ll have to suffer through a Disney commercial first…

Boom! It’s a big week for the BroBomb Edit Battle section. First we had McNutt going head to head with Shay Lee, with fewer people opting for the handjob option than expected. Only 24 hours later we’re dropping two of the hottest tricks of May 2013 – Adam Delorme’s cork 5 to tailslide (?) vs. Grigory Fuzeev’s hand-drag dub flat 7. And hey, Nick Goepper did a triple! Must’ve been all those secret moon water injections aboard the Red Bull helicarrier, which is currently sending mind control rays from its secret base in the South China Sea. At any rate, it’s time to go head to head for the best single trick of the week. Is it Delorme’s 2018-level tail butter (future butter?)…

Armed Pro-Am Edit Battle: Nick McNutt vs. Shay lee

By Dunfee18 Comments

By now you’ve likely seen the unreal POV edit Whistler guy Nick McNutt put out late last week. Nick’s the first guy since Andrew Whiteford to make a name for himself purely off his POV edits, partly because he skis like a maniac and partly because he chooses music that could really offend very few people, unlike the majority of edits I click play for and then delete the page because I can’t stand the goddamned awful hip hop or reggae being thrown over what may be worthwhile skiing. At any rate, I was all excited to give myself credit for scouting Nick as one of the most promising up and comers to roll out of last season in our “10 Best Skiers of 2012″ post, but alas, I never actually wrote that piece. Damn schizophrenia!

JP Auclair à Chamonix, Sacrebleu!

By Dunfee3 Comments

Yes, this is one of those “big mountain” videos highlighting the kind of skiing very few of you understand. No, we don’t understand why you have to climb down stairs at the top of a mountain to go skiing. Sure seems like they use a lot of ropes, too. We’re not sure what a “carabiner” is, but we can only guess that its name came from some climbing equipment manufacturers who hated Mexicans, and that its only use is for building slacklines in extreme situations, and we HATE slacklining (don’t do it!). Nonetheless, the good news is that next year’s JJs will be all white, ending the ski’s heritage of insanely ugly graphics. We don’t expect to get much comment on the video from JP, as receiving e-mail communication from him is about as rare and cherished as seeing a buffalo in the streets of Jacksonville, Florida. At any rate, someone should really give him more batteries for his GoPro. Haven’t those guys built drones to deliver extra batteries to athletes worldwide yet? Wait, I forgot – Red Bull bought them all to film their helicopters filming helicopters filming planes filming hovercrafts delivering poisonous sugar water, jet packs, and helicopters made of gold bullion to Travis Rice in the remotest regions of the Chilean backcountry.

Jon Hartman Officially On Moment, Officially Oldest Sponsored Jibber Ever

By Dunfee6 Comments

Having just joined the Moment team this winter, 28-year old Team Make a Mess member Jon Hartman became the oldest jibber to make a ski team since Josh Lubeck won the tryouts for the Mammoth High School ski team by throwing shirtless flairs over the actual high schoolers half his age. This lack of older gents in the professional ranks is due in large part to the fact that by age 25, most park skiers realize how stupid they look wearing a large tee shirt over their outerwear in the middle of February. We sat down with Luke Jacobson, Chief Jort Enthusiast at Moment, to get the skinny on why they would make such a horrendous mistake.

BroBomb: Can I get a blurb about the justification behind putting a 28-year old graphic designer/aging jibber on the Moment team?

Jacobson: He wouldn’t stop emailing me for 2 years…. Also, he films more than a 15 year old and loves skiing more than most people do. He is unique, real, and has so much fun its ridiculous. Thats whats important….fun and #sochi

BroBomb: Who can black out harder, you or Jon?

Jortcobson: Oh man, it really depends what season it is. And what we are drinking. I appreciate Jon for being able to hang with terrible terrible combinations of drinks, like Astronaut Piss (Fernet shot with a well tequilla back) or a Space Jam. We can both go pretty deep.

BroBomb: What about a Fernet face-off?

Jortman Luke: Fernet face-off? I honestly think I would win. Anything else I think he would take me. I’ll admit that.

BroBomb: Are there any other older jibbers you’re scouting these days?

Jortcation Jacobson: Is David Crichton 30 yet?

 

*Editor’s note: Did you sell all your tee shirts this winter for ski gloves or drugs? We know the answers is yes, and we also know you sold the gloves for more drugs. But it’s spring and that triple-tall sweatshirt you hand-sewed behind mom’s back ain’t gotta hold it down in the summer heat. So hop on over to the store and buy a Medium or XL BroBomb Mike Tee for only $10! Everyone’s doing it, even Satan himself!

Blake Wilson

By Dunfee6 Comments

Hey, it’s the first edit we’ve ever featured from Sunday River! Those Rocking Chair jumps used to be all the jam in New England back in ’03. Blake used to be the 3rd rank junior mogul skier in the country at Gould Academy, and this is apparently his first year skiing park. Unfortunately his considerable talent hasn’t won him any friends, as evidenced by all the self-filmed rail shots. Poor guy.

The Orage Masters Clip Contest Broken Down

By Dunfee1 Comment

Now that the Orage Masters are over and done with, it’s time for the contest after the contest after the contest in which the Facebook votes actually count. It’s fairly simple, the clips that get the most likes on Orage’s Facebook page will walk away with $5,000 in cold, hard, American mothaflippin’ cash (imported from Canada). We could break down the edits and tell you who to vote for, but it’s probably better you know what your potential winners are likely to do with all that cash. Here’s what we surmise, based on the best economical analysis our college buddies at Bloomberg could come up with, each team would spend their winnings on:

The Great Ski Media Vacuum of 2013

By Dunfee32 Comments

ski-mag-black-hole-of-uncertainty

It’s a scary time in the ski media world. Several notorious ships that had been anchored at their respective ports for a good long while have just in the past month drawn those rusty weights from the bottom of the sea and sailed off for distant and in a few cases unknown horizons. First Matt Harvey left his post as senior editor at Freeskier with no obvious candidates to replace him. Maybe Nate Abbott will just take that spot over and publish more of his own photos, but it’s too early to tell. Then came the announcement that freeskiing’s jowled frontman, Jeff Schmuck, would be ending his ancient (for the internet) history with Newschoolers and would move on to be an editor at SBC Skier, an interesting career move given that the 70 people who actually live in Canada pale in comparison to Newschoolers’ 187,000 registered users. Maybe he just wanted to watch print media die first hand? Maybe Prime Minister Stephen Harper wanted Canada’s most successful ski media personality back working for the home team.

April HATE-PRIL Contest Results

By Dunfee7 Comments

april-hatepril-contest

Well, the entries (all four of them) have all been in-boxed, and more than a couple of them (a couple being two) threw down your hardest bouts of sarcasm at Dunfee’s lagging ability to keep this whole operation afloat and appealing. But at the end of the day, the winner might just surprise you, since nobody knows who these people are anyway…

TrashParty Air & Juie Invitational

By Dunfee4 Comments

Those Kiwis, or Scandos, or wherever they are from that is not America, put on a contest recently with skiers and snowboarders. We’re not sure if they realized they were in the same place together at the same time, because here in ‘Murica, that shit is strictly outlawed. The snowboarders get the cool edits will the skiers, no matter how talented, are forced to have their talents squandered by the editing department at Matchstick, who prod them to do dumb skits no one will laugh at and then set the whole thing to the soundtrack from the Ironman credits.

At any rate, despite John Kerry’s best efforts, the rest of the world seems not to have gotten the message. The International No Poles Gospel has many followers here, though. By the way, did you see all those blonde babes? And Magnus Store’s late 360?? Fuck it, I’m moving to Iceland.

We also don’t know where Chris Helberg was at, unless he was the one guy with poles. Must have been in school. NEEEEERD!
