Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Someone with the same size ski boots as you?


CH2O, I know you and I have had this discussion before and don't agree, but I just don't some of these ski vids. Is it me or is this one long on great graphics, dark moody shots and a bit short on exciting skiing? It also seems to be trying to push the idea of "Oooh, aren't I a bit naughty! Look, I even knocked someone over on the ice rink". Come on, let's have some proper skiing on some proper mountains, not this staged nonsense in a car park.

dunno if its just you fox but i liked it. I'd always go for street sections rather than back country.

i'm not sure about a company aligning themselves to "clients" though, if you sponsor someone then yes, but if you make them pay then using there name & videos to promote a company seems a bit wrong.....

b]foxtrotzulu[/b], perhaps it's just you. I prefer watching pillow lines and tree skiing myself but I really do enjoy JP's segments in the Sherpas films. They're always creative and fun – and he's a genuinely lovely chap.

Liked it... Not as much as the first Street segment though. I don't think it has the charm of the first, seems more 'hollywood'

I really really want to like it but I feel like it's 80% staring at concrete walls with flashy lights and artistic camera pans/fades. Missing too much context about where he is and what he's skiing!

I still have no idea what a 'male client' is. Is JP a rent boy or something? Very Happy Very Happy (I'm sure he's a really nice guy as you say, but I don't get what a 'male client' is). I get the feeling I'm too old and too boring for this. Toofy Grin

CH2O, I seem to remember seeing these two vids a while back. The cinematography is far worse but, for my money, the skiing is at least as skillful and far more entertaining. (and a bit less wanky)

why are you so down on the video Puzzled The OP posted the video for people to enjoy, not for people to question whether the rider is "unique" or get called "wanky"

eddiethebus, Blimey Eddie! Can't we pass comment on it? I only questioned the uniqueness of the vid as CH20 said that he was unique. As there seem to be a fair few similar vids out there I was genuinely curious as to the way in which it is unique. That's all.

I didn't call CH20 or JP wanky. I said the video was a bit wanky, by which I meant it was long on arty lighting etc.

I did also say above that I fully accept that it may be just me that doesn't 'get' these type of vids. To be fair Driz didn't completely get it either.

Didn't know that. I think my problem was that I had seen a few similar vids before this one.

eddiethebus, Re-reading what I put I see the 'wanky' comment was an add-on and would appear to refer to none of the above, but to JP's skiing. Mea Culpa.

meh, Good write up, as you say. Interesting that the film is intended as a sort of chase scene between two skiers. The clip in the OP makes a bit more sense now I know that as I, for one, certainly hadn't appreciated this or even twigged the fact that the various scenes were linear in any way.
