[Ibanezsweep45]

For the shot from :52 to :57 did you apply a motion blur to the video to get that effect?

[PierceBigBig69]

What resolution setting do you use on your gopros?

[TheSuperTLD]

Abe what helmet do you have

[ArtegaUK]

[Djumpps]

[24smforester]

@Djumpps Abe has twin tips he uses for park and the ones in this video are powder skis.

[thejohnnymancini]

You don't just edit perfectly.... you get perfect shots. Major props man

[ReactArts]

[TheMrDannyGee]

Love to watch your films when I wanna dream away from the rainy fall, can´t wait to see a big lovely white mountain in a great sun shiny weather.

[woodwindnh]

[RadovanJanus]

That looks like a lot of fun guys Sub+1

[7surferguy7]

[TwintipsRockz]

[grandmastaflash14]

[EffectRider]

[DUBSTEPwebg]

[aperson44u]

[Relaxoz94]

What editing software do you use?

[CrazyFattyPatty]

Dude! I've got the same car. Subie impreza wagon ftw

[TheMBDfilms]

That car was defiantly red last year.

[PowderDays559]

[Daragonis]

Are all your cams the HD Hero?

[athal22]

[FinnishRecords]

i started just skii but can anybody help me whit doing tricks or something?

[laxandski32]

@FinnishRecords get used to jumping nefore u start tricks, but once u get comfortable in the air it all starts to come to u. u just have to try stuff

[FinnishRecords]

@laxandski32 thx

[eastcostoverdoce]

song?

[abekislevitz]

@eastcostoverdoce I always post musical information in the description 'show more' box!

[PoffWeedAndGoRide]

freeriding its better than slopestyle

[PoffWeedAndGoRide]

the song goes with the video on 100%

[CTskiier]

how'd you get those radio snow reports in?

[FinnishRecords]

@CTskiier internet radio and captured that whit something software and delted video and saved voice?

[PlorQ]

Last week I was in Austria for my Annual skiing trip. I was able to get some fresh pow on my new Armadas. Now I know how it really should feel!!

[UKTuTS]

Was that a Snow-Gasm at 3:50? Mine was loader that.

[TheMARKER2141]

I JUST STARTED SNOWBOARDING! HAVNT SKIED YET BUT DAMN THATS A BADASS VIDEO

[TheJOELcam]

Super awesome video! You have some really good video editing skills. I've made a couple ski videos and i'm working on another one right now, what is your workflow? Right now i'm using premiere elements 9

[CodySaunders7]

Were you skiing Cloud 9 in this video?

[andyslaybids]

there are some skiing videos mixed with beats that are the equivilant of being on the slope next to the skier, this is one of those videos

[NisserMand]

Thumbs up if GoPro is better than orgasm..

[fidely]

Put The Camera Down! back away from it slowly and start to ski for one's enjoyment. The last run was good, if you like steep check out kirkwood up northern ca

[abekislevitz]

@fidely that's the beauty of the chest mount + gopro man, I don't have to hold it and I do ski for my enjoyment. Sure I took one run with it in my hand after I had about 10 epic perfect runs. Have you heard of passionate skiers? I am a passionate skier & filmer so both of these activities get me excited!

[snoproian]

@fidely ya dude if abe did what you said we wouldn't have these crazy awesome vids to oggle over!!! just saying. :)

[Inspireftw]

@AznBeast93 This is to the left of chair 9 I believe. I was up there that day hitting similar runs, it was amazing...

[selfy007]

Hey what happend to your car number plate in front of your Subaru? ;o) cool video!

[101mentaltoughness]

Do you have powder skis or park skis in this vid

[SuperDylanGraham]

yo where is this ?

[snoproian]

yeah, all my friends say gopro and everyone related to it sucks. i tell them to watch one of your vids. next day...... yo ian, say....how much did you get your gopro for?? ha ha!! amazing videos! keep it up abe!!!

[MaybeiSki]

this song is fresh

[Butterspill]

Epic Video! What mode do you record in? what editor do you use?

[Googl295]

Abe, you and your team are an inspiration.

[Datzneat]

That was sick.

[FrontyProductions]

magical! loved it :)

[Dirtydragon]

awesome vids as always Abe. Thanks so much for taking the time to make tutorials on your videos, it has def inspired me to make some videos of my own.

[jecks95]

Awesome Video! Where you were skiing?

[samsonyte808]

this gave me a bigger boner then my girlfriend today.

[McLoven6l9]

hows the park... like thunder bound and roller coaster

[cr4zyskier]

2 person missed the like button

its impossible to dislike such a nice vid well done again !

[RippinSkiers]

Sweet - posted this on our videos page on our web site - awesome!

[MrPowerfood]

you make the best edits ive ever seen

[tkimmerle]

Once again incredible video Abe! Stunning views and scenery! I just started using final cut and i never realized how important the audio aspect is in a video. I really learn a lot from you and the Gopro channel in terms of editing and I'm looking forward to some more tutorials!

[saphira2111]

Are you guys skiing June?

[abekislevitz]

@saphira2111 nope, this is all mammoth!

[NUMBERoneCANIAC]

How are the CRJs?

[abekislevitz]

@NUMBERoneCANIAC They are really fun in all sorts of pow, especially crud stuff that's not super deep - very playful in bad conditions, super fun in about 3 inches of buttery smooth pow

[NUMBERoneCANIAC]

@abekislevitz I've had my eye on them for awhile. I haven't had any major edge or sidewall issues on my TNKs yet so I guess it's a good time to expand my quiver and get a pow ski. haha

[lownrangr]

WOW. That is some remarkable scenery! Nice work Abe....again!

[Vandals572]

i literally dont know how you could not like this

[moritobloke]

Love the music. Where do you find them? Hear about them? Pandora?

[abekislevitz]

@moritobloke These guys came to me with their music! Super rad up & coming artists!

[willshelmetcam]

have you ever broken a go pro?

after 2 years of motocrossing mine finally bit the dust the other day :(

[jsycrf]

Brilliant again. :D

[Nintendo8bit]

Your videos are really professional and inspiring.

I have a GoPro mounted on my helmet but when I watch the result I don't get the feel of speed and how steep the hill is.

Maybe I should try the chest mount next time ;-)

[kareemcram]

@Nintendo8bit for any shot

the lower it is to ground or plane of whatever is moving, the faster the video will look

[PDaley27]

Abe, seriously, wow.

[Nards1393]

all your videos make me wanna switch from snowboarding to skiing........

[Huntito]

Omg your vids are amazing! Dont stop what youre doing brother!

[BorderPatrol121]

did you have to hike to get to any of these places? i go to mammoth a lot and I don't think i have seen those places before, especially the last clip.

Thanks

[abekislevitz]

@BorderPatrol121 long traverses but not much hiking. Hemlocks on 14 is a quick hike, but all the stuff on 9 is just a long traverse

[BorderPatrol121]

@abekislevitz so is it dragons back? all the way over. that last clip was epic, was it also off of dragons

[abekislevitz]

@BorderPatrol121 yeah, most were the far tail, last shot was the back

[taylorthomasmedia]

face shots left,right and center in this video! Go Abe!

[fritobndito007]

For the shots you use on a pole, do you use the GoPro roll bar mount on jus a regular pole or is there a special rig that you buy with it permanently attached? I just got two GoPro's and am stoked to use them.

[oCajUmo]

[Zerostoff]

i'll fucking hunt down the one thats disliked

[abekislevitz]

@Zerostoff now two! :(

[hlev80]

@Zerostoff, @abekislevitz probably they were upside down in a backflip while recording a similar video, so must have accidentally pressed dislike.

[600673870VV5]

@Zerostoff you know it's just some jealous douchebag boarder. 95% of them act like they're 8.

[Zerostoff]

@600673870VV5

i'am a boarder and i dont think this is shitty.... im just saying.... but it's so sad that somone can disslike this art, cuz this is art man

[Zerostoff]

Fucking paradise

[x24BMX24x]

Your editing and filming skills are really awesome. My goal is to get that good someday and make some cool snowboarding videos. I'm actually going out today with a friend to get some footage with the HD Hero cam. Any tips to make some cool vids with Windows Movie Maker, it's all i have, and if u could suggest some editing software that u prefer that'd be great man. Thanks :D

[TheCattleRoper]

Love the vids!! Keep em comin!!

[p33092c]

*__*

[wildchild3418]

your edits are always amazing brah!

[WestcoastSurfer]

damn it the trees at the end are perfect for snowboarders to slide :D

[martijn106]

powder sooo fresh!

[rastablader]

The video section at 1.25, was that shot with a chest mount?

[thetwixel]

3:36 -> fast :)

[Husk1993]

[Daragonis]

Very sick!!! all that untracked pow psychs me up for tomorrow :D

[RCArce01]

Sick edit! Is that a wrist mount at 3:05 or are you just holding it?

[skilife123]

dam, abe you are insane, every dam edit is amazing

[eddie31003]

N!CE

[kennethfriberg]

Amazing as always Abe, how do you get this crystal clear images everytime? i also use a GoPro and Final Cut, but the result is never anything near your quality. Whats the secret Abe? keep it up, always excited about your new vids....

[adamz1111]

SO Sick!!!!! hey is there a Go Pro ski pole cam lol? That thing you hold up at 2:44. I'm thinking of buying the helmet cam but i'm not quite sure yet.

[Pwner1432]

I'm in love with you guys

[SpirosSnow]

RESPECT FROM GREECE :)

[bcbikers2]

so sick

[thestomppad]

OOOOH MYY GOD indeed....POW is soooooo much fun!

[alexcroox]

Love it, your video should appear on goproheroes d.o.t c.o.m very soon!

[crmfytr]

You continue to have fantasic videos. You have actually cost me around $1000 on a gopro and editing software to start making videos....thanks a lot! But my 7 year old will cherish them forever...THANKS AGAIN..KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! Hopefully you will have a masking tutorial someday. Check out my first video attempts at Keystone and Vail.

[powderskier619]

ok so i just got back from skiing at breck. I was using my go pro and when i replayed some of the video was pink. 2 clips did this and they were filmed in the same place. The spot was pretty bumpy and there where a few really small cliff drops. any suggestions?

[goldenmate]

Awesome dude! You should make a movie!!:)

[basilolo]

This is intense. And insane. You rock man :D

[Kruskebunken]

Awesome vid as usuall. btw is that the backside of Mammoth?

[abekislevitz]

@Kruskebunken Intro is backside (hemlocks), most of the action is from 9 (far end of dragons tail)

[NBproductionspresent]

[rysco23]

I applied to USC not knowing about the Ski and Snowboard team. These videos make me want to go to USC even more!

[gobias3]

dont waste ur time here guys...this edit doesnt have any tricks and the only thing we see from chris farro is him standing there, with a jacket on :(

[abekislevitz]

@gobias3 Yep, for some reason it snowed 25 feet in december and didn't get a single park day! Still filmed though! Don't worry, park edit is being edited as we speak!

[MILKMEN123]

@abekislevitz sort of bummed not to see a park edit but good stuff anyway.

[abekislevitz]

@MILKMEN123 Hah yeah me too, nothing I can do about the weather!

[MILKMEN123]

@abekislevitz props to who ever had the crj's on also. and hey abe can you make a vid more in depth of some of your final cut skills, i just downloaded it and am still new and dont know tricks to it yet. like how you did the gopro and mammoth logo at the begining stuff like that.

[abekislevitz]

@MILKMEN123 Yeah I'll be releasing more tutorials soon. The intro was done in AE, but it's pretty simple fade & blur stuff that can be done in FCP. And chyea CRJs are epic.

[MILKMEN123]

@abekislevitz AE? sorry im really new to major vid editing.

[abekislevitz]

@MILKMEN123 After Effects (Adobe)

[gobias3]
