Despite posting about the Quiksilver Natural Selection a few days back, I had pretty much scrolled past all the results on other blogs until powderroom.net caught my attention by simply telling me to "watch" the highlights. Subliminal? Perhaps. But it worked.
Sure enough, this is one of the best ski or snowboard event coverage pieces I've ever seen. The footage of the run through Dick's Ditch, aided by a cable cam, is extremely well produced. They might not show everyone, but they show enough to make you feel like you're watching it live. The announcing by Todd Richards is great, maybe I can finally learn the names of all those snowboard tricks. And the rider introductions are pretty entertaining and creative, to say the least.
As the announcers point out, with athlete appearance fees of $9000 EACH "you could tomahawk all the way to the bottom and still win." Clearly there was A LOT of money behind this.
Here's the video, hosted by Freecaster, another great service:
