Riding at Indian Creek 2-7-09
We went out with Rob Hoff and Tim Hoff from Alpine and Jackson respectively. Now that I am semi-retired from the sled film gig, I can shoot freelance for other video companies. Rob and Tim ride for Extreme Team Films and we got some exceptional footage on saturday. Both of these guys are skilled rippers and grasp a solid understanding of technical mountain free-riding.We started the day by shooting some drops that demanded perfect execution due to tree speckled landing zones. We also got a LOT of sick pow turns and some big air. This was the first time I had been on the snow with these guys and I surely hope it is not the last. Regardless of the great filming, these guys are real people and are very fun to ride with.
Tim's XP was out of commission so he rode a borrowed 07 Rev and sessioned the mountain all day. Rob's super pimped out XP was ripping hard until the bottom end literally exploded into his belly pan. At least this happened at the end of the day. Rob rode amazingly well which was surprising since he was working with some separated ribs. His ribs were damaged in a non-snowmobile related "incident." Good story but not mine to tell.
I didn't take any stills but perhaps I can post some frames of video if I can find the time.
