Rick and I have been writing and filming like crazy to create episodes for next season. We captured most of the snowboard footage in Breckenridge, Colorado during our annual trip in April and will film all intros, voice-over and real-world examples over the summer.
My favorite episode for 2010: “Get in Shape for Snowboarding” because it’s got effective exercises I do everyday and is filled with ideas to incorporate them into your daily routine. We got a lot of requests for a video with tips to get in shape, so I hope people like it.
Episode I’m most excited to see: “Documentary series on today’s snowboarders” because it will be cool to see the thoughts, ideas and perspective of a variety of snowboarders; all talking about what snowboarding means to them.
Least favorite episode: “Front-side Boardslide” because I wasn’t riding well and never actually landed the trick. Aside from the script, my only contribution to this video was a crash where I slammed my crotch onto the funbox. Not cool.
Be sure to check out our blooper reel on SnowProfessor.com (including my crotch incident). Until then, here’s a list of videos we plan to release this winter:
