Great POV + Shots from all over the world = one rad edit. Eric Zeller takes us around the world to locations in North America, Europe, South America and even New Zealand.

From Eric Zeller:

Though last winter was a total flop?  Jake Cohn didn’t.  Watch as he finds the goods and makes the most out of a season that was less than ideal for everywhere but Alaska (and apparently Japan based on how deep some of this footage is).  Shot on location in Japan and the Whistler backcountry.

This trailer is good, say what you want about the music. It comes from Two Plank Productions, based out of Crested Butte. Their new flick “Because” is their fifth full length offering and chronicles two record snowfall seasons across this great earth. Here is the release from Two Plank Productions:

“(Crested Butte, CO / Denver, CO) As summer begins to look towards winter yet again, Two Plank Productions is proud to release its 5th full-length feature ski film showcasing adventures from two record-setting winters. Premiering September 2012, we proudly present a film by Executive Producer Corey Tibljas, with Executive Producer Willis Barnette, Producer / Editor Jeffery Loewe, and an amazing staff.

This revolutionary film is coming to a theater and retail stores near you! “BECAUSE” is a 50 minute High Definition FreeSkiing project available on Blu-Ray, DVD, iTunes, and HD Digital Online Download. Info is online at twoplank.com

“BECAUSE” is Two Plank’s first top tier production value film which was shot over two separate record snowfall winters across the globe. “BECAUSE” follows 22 pro athletes through the deepest snow, biggest cliffs, and most intense adventure expiditions our cameras have seen. “BECAUSE” is a story-based, rich visual project of established riders along side the most anticipated upcoming athletes sharing insight to their athletic ambitions and motivational drive to acomplish the next achievement in their careers. “BECAUSE” provides non-stop freeski adventure entertainment through the performances mixed with the quest from the athletes and filmmakers alike.

Since the addition of a third unit film crew, Two Plank was able to cover more ground than ever, while having the ability to chase the best storms fluidly with featured heli-skiing, new cutting edge RED Camera shots, snowmobile exploration, ski-plane destination excursions, and increased production gear. Complete with fresh secret zones, lines, plus one-of-a-kind jump locations, “BECAUSE” features the encapsulating motivation of the individual athletes collectivly paired with breath-taking visual shots, and compelling entertainment of the crew united as one.

The co-founder and owner/president of Two Plank, Corey Tibijas is a total badass. While working full time at Two Plank he is also a Crested Butte Firefighter and EMT. Oh wait, and he is working on a Business Administration degree from Western State College. Hats off to you Corey, the film looks great, I’ll check it out in September.

Check out the mid-production teaser and visit Two Plank Productions.

Step 1: Take 5 to watch these skate videos

Step 2: Lace your shoes

Step 3: Go skateboarding

Go Skateboarding Day is tomorrow and with it comes the first day of summer. I know we haven’t had much good weather in Whistler for the last couple weeks and maybe you haven’t even gone skateboarding yet this year, but tomorrow is supposed to stay dry! So take advantage and go join in on the celebrations. If you need some extra motivation, here’s 3 videos I watched this week that got me amped to go push around.

The first video is a (so far) unheard of Latvian shredder who won’t be unheard of for long. The internet is describing him as “The best skateboarder you’ve never heard of”.

The second is a classic Daewon Song part, lots of quality, technical skateboarding for your viewing pleasure.

Last but not least are the highlights from the last stop of Street League. The guard is changing and the “new” kids, Chaz, Nyjah and Malto are absolutely destroying it these days.

From the looks of our current weather pattern I’d say we’re heading into another ‘Bummer Summer’. I mean when was the last full week of sun? Methinks May 8-14.  Last year was a bit of a let down: rain > rain > rain > winter.

Here’s Dan Barham’s third place edit from last years Kokanee Crankworx Deep Summer Photo Challenge.  Involving six photographers they had 72 hours to complete a slideshow. Dan decided to show the five stages of “Bummer Summer” and how his crew dealt with the loss of sunshine and dust.

Stage One = Denial

Stage Two = Anger

Stage Three = Barganing

Stage Four = Depression

Stage Five = Acceptance
