TransWorld Snowboarding

Are you serious? those comments make the video look like no one likes it. searching for words. But yeah, is getting a video posted on that site an achievment? because based on the comments, I don't think it does Boulder any favors. Is there a way to see how many views it has had?

 

 

Here is a more positively commented video from Open Day from the Roundtop Riders.

Uh, it doesn't hurt boulder. They are mostly ripping on the the style of the riders and the camera work. That video could have been made at ANY mountain and it would have been ripped. Plus TW is notorious for ripping on stuff, even really solid videos. Just a guess but TW gets obscene amounts of traffic. They only put on 2 or 3 videos a week. I check the site semi-regularly and have NEVER seen a teaser or shorty before 50+ comments have been made.

 

Even if the video sucks, it gets the word out they are open and have jibs. That can't be a bad thing for boulder can it?

Yeah it fits in the -any press is good press- category. I don't follow trans, interesting dynamic, different than what I am used to.

 

Second thought. If TWS only puts a couple of videos up a week, certainly they would have an idea of how it would be commented on. So they put it up knowingly that it would get ripped for the riders and camera work.

 

Schibbs, submit your work!

I have no clue what there selection process is. All videos meet a certain level of quality. No awful filming or editing, but some, like this could be much better. Considering this is an opening day edit, they likely got lots of slack on riding quality, filming and editing. There are some other openers that would have been questionable otherwise.

 

Also it's a snowboarding website and skiers aren't really represented at all (or 1 or 2 shots per shorty) in the videos.

You kidding me? Everything gets ripped apart on NS.

 

 

no.. those comments are distinctly different. Then again, hahahahahaha interesting test. I don't know any emo dressed skiers, although it would be funny if i did wide angle low down shot into the sun and see what happens on NS .

I didn't see the comments on the video as any worse than normal. People go onto TWSnow to be dicks solely to be dicks. Find a video that doesn't have almost universal negative comments, it is probably a robot food clip from 4 years ago, I haven't seen anything in years that wasn't ripped apart by a bunch of 13 year old internet posers. They even joke about it in the magazine. But a LOT of people see it.

I have to agree. No matter how awesome a video is or is not there will be at least 50 kids out there that will rip on it. On the flip side, for every 50 kids who put up a negative comment there are 50,000 who just check out the video and see Big Boulder Park represented on a major snowboarding media outlet.

If you check the boulder website i believe all the videos that are up there were done by schibbs. And im pretty sure that the past 3 times i have been at boulder filming with my crew that i have seen schibbs there filming as well. Im pretty sure he's not no more
