Stairs to 50-50. Photo: James Griffith<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Oh man, thinking in seasons makes my brain hurt, so let\u2019s talk about the one you\u2019ve already filmed first.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, so The Fourth Wall is actually last year\u2019s (2016) movie, but since I never uploadeded the entire thing anywhere I thought it\u2019d be cool for some people to watch. But the full parts have already been out since the beginning of last season. Our new movie \u201cLoose\u201d is dropping November 1st, and video parts will start coming online around January. And then we\u2019re gonna start filming again in December.<\/p>\n<p>But I think in general we\u2019re always trying to do the opposite of what we did the winter before. For The Fourth Wall (two winters ago) we just set out to travel a bunch and find unique spots and locations and just go on an adventure pretty much. Last winter we just wanted to take it way more simple. We all met up in Holland and drove to Finland from there. Cees has his Chevy van that we loaded up with winches and generators and lights and we more or less stayed in Finland, and focused on specific tricks and spots the guys wanted to film.<\/p>\n<p>It was kinda nice not having to worry about visas and just having all the gear with us to hit literally every spot that popped into our heads. I think everybody filmed their best video parts this year because of that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That makes sense. There\u2019s a lot to be said for simplicity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not just saying that to try to get everybody to watch the movie..

It seems like there\u2019s more to what you do than just tricks, and because tricks are a hard sell for most people who snowboard. It takes a special sort of nerd to care and appreciate just how gnarly the stuff these guys are doing is.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, for The Fourth Wall it was kind of a thing that I wanted to really show how beautiful Japan and Iceland were and how raw Russia is. But this winter it\u2019s really more focusing on the tricks. No drones or stabilization gimmicks or anything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honestly, holding anyone\u2019s attention for longer than 1-minute these days is a serious feat. What\u2019s your take on that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah I totally agree that these days people\u2019s attention spans leave much to be desired. But that\u2019s just natural process. I mean, I sometimes still think about the old FODT video\u2019s that just showed 5 slow motion angles of one trick because the riding was so fucking heavy. You just don\u2019t get away with that anymore. I still like showing more angles, but I only have two cameras, so it\u2019ll never be that crazy. But it feels that the guys put so much effort into their riding that it\u2019s kinda unfair to just let every single shot fly by.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.06.51-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55194\" src=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.06.51-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1282\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.06.51-PM.png 1282w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.06.51-PM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.06.51-PM-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.06.51-PM-550x366.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1282px) 100vw, 1282px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Will Smith. 50-50 through a TV, now watchable on TV.

Like, they\u2019re doing it for themselves at the end of the day, but it would be nice to treat this kind of gnarly ass riding with a little more respect.

If you want to release a video every week, you shouldn\u2019t expect viewers to remember and replay your video hundreds of times. Why should they if they can just watch something new all the time? That\u2019s why I always try to make our movie available as a free download, in case there are people out there that like to watch the whole thing a few times. It\u2019s cool that so much content is available right now, but sometimes I think the community would be happier if people would put a bit more effort into collecting footage, rather than just throwing everything online as soon as they got enough for a 2 minute video \u2013 but probably we\u2019ll start doing it eventually as well, haha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I get what you\u2019re saying. I guess the dillema is that by \u201csaving\u201d footage you\u2019re risking someone else doing it first. But for you guys, there probably aren\u2019t 10 crews at every spot like there are in places like Quebec or SLC. Have you ever had that happen, where say, you guys hit a spot and then Haldor and Eiki show up and get better tricks on it? Does that matter to you\/the riders you work with or does it just get you more hyped?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh I think you\u2019d be surprised to see how many crews there are in Finland. People are for sure kinda over the spots in for example Kuopio, but not to the same level as Quebec. But if people go back to the same spot and do better tricks, I think that\u2019s only a good thing. That\u2019s what pushes the video parts, it\u2019s not so fun to go back to the same spot and do something less than what somebody else has done. The awkward thing is when people do the same trick, and the one who came second gets the appreciation for it. That has happened before to us for sure! Even when we went to Quebec and Will did that big ass drop to bank. As far as I know he was the first to do it and I think Brendan Gerard attempted it a year later and launched himself over the road in the outrun. Then there\u2019s Phil Jacques doing that pole jam to backlip in his Union part, that Kas did a few years earlier in his Connect The Dots part. I\u2019m not calling these people out and saying that they\u2019re uncool for copying us. It happens all the time, I\u2019m sure we\u2019ve also \u201ccopied\u201d other people\u2019s shots. There\u2019s just too much content coming out right now that it\u2019s impossible to keep track of what everybody is doing, so I feel like you can\u2019t blame somebody for going for the same shot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.12-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55195\" src=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.12-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"794\" height=\"988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.12-PM.png 794w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.12-PM-241x300.png 241w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.12-PM-768x956.png 768w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.12-PM-550x684.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Will Smith on the fabled bank-to-ledge, sometime in 2014.

A lot of locals from different indoor resorts are in touch with each other to meet up and shoot videos. That\u2019s really cool. It kinda comes back to that quality over quantity thing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.23-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55196\" src=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.23-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.23-PM.png 1280w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.23-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.23-PM-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.23-PM-550x367.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Artem Smollin, boardslide.

I kinda only notice people growing out of snowboarding instead of seeing young kids coming up, but maybe that\u2019s just because I don\u2019t really visit the domes as often as I used to. I guess most people here get into it through the Christmas holidays with their family, and then maybe want to follow it up in the dome and start practicing rail tricks. I\u2019m just basing this on what I see in the indoor scene, apparently there\u2019s a massive group of Dutch snowboarders that are interested in backcountry riding, but the scenes are so divided that we never actually meet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.31-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55197\" src=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.31-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1278\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.31-PM.png 1278w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.31-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.31-PM-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screen-Shot-2019-09-25-at-4.07.31-PM-550x367.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1278px) 100vw, 1278px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>If you wonder what you\u2019ll look like after drinking three Monster Energy Drinks a day for 40 years, wonder no longer.
