Poster: A snowHead
|
Just received this. I've passed it on to the XCers I know, but I don't think they fit the criteria too closely. Maybe of interest to someone on here??
Male skiers needed for a cross-country photo shoot for GQ style magazine
Looking for a group of male skiers who can also cross country from between 25-55 years old (it’s a telemark skiing shot), needed for a 3 day shoot in Norway this weekend 23rd June – 24th June or possibly next week.
Have to be VERY passionate about skiing, an outdoor person and have an interesting look.
It will be £500 per person for the weekend with all expenses paid for.
If you are interested please send us some pictures of yourself and a short video (iphone) telling us a little bit about yourself with your contact details to:
assistant@sportspromotions.co.uk
Or you can call our office Sports Promotions on

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

so is it XC or Telemark?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

CH2O, , why don't you call them and ask? Mind you, I would not be surprised if the agency don't know the difference...

RobW, Seems ridiculous as they're shooting in Norway, they have a pretty high population of both XC and Tele skiers there.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

CH2O, but do they have an "interesting look"?

You could be right.
"very passionate about skiing" ...
And even more passionate about getting yourself photographed.
"an outdoor person" ...
Oh how I loathe that phrase, favourite of the BBC's 'country tracks' and country file'. It means absolutely nothing but I know it's supposed to conjure up the image of rosy-cheeked public school boys & girls abseiling up Kilimanjaro on elephants whilst on their Duke of Edinburgh awards schemes.
"have an interesting look" ...
Blchhh !! Thankfully, I have an ugly, rather bland look that perfectly complements my mean and shallow persona.

Considering submitting a portfolio of your finest mountaintop Blue Steel moments?
Interestingly no requirement to be an ambi-turner specified.

fatbob, I'm an ambi-turner but my turns to the ride are led by the inner ski tip, is this an issue?
Surely this is worth a punt if you've ever been near XC skis.

Very odd. Would love to do it, being, ahem, "functional" in both telemark and XC but a few problems present themselves: I have old knackered-looking "ebay special" ski equipment and still use the 75mm Nordic Norm bindings, even on my XC skis; it's pretty short notice; I'm not the kind of person that has photos of themselves and an iphone video on hand for these occasions; and finally, I would feel like a complete fraud doing a telemark / XC photo shoot in Norway, the country with possibly the largest concentration of good telemarkers / XC-ers in the world.

ap96, don't think they'd want you to use your own kit

I'd have thought they can just turn up and throw a rock and get a number of very good telemarkers with the viking look going on. So maybe the interesting look they're going for is pasty overweight British desk jockeys in which case I might still be in with a shout.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

ap96: I'm amused that you didn't flag up "have an interesting look" as an issue.

kieranm, I can be "interesting" But whether what they mean by "interesting" is the same thing as me, well, fair point!

You know it makes sense.
|
is this by any chance a team of Nigerian film makers?
