Where did you spend the winter this year getting shots for the movie?
Once COVID really hit, how much did that change your plans and how did you get around that?
Im glad we didnt give a shot to push anything crazy while the world was in full panic though.
Youd need a sled to get out to the majority of spots we were unless youre a complete psycho.
I bet though this coming year well see more people in the lots.
Go with experienced people.
There is controversy surrounding recycling released footage for a movie project, especially reusing clips from Real Ski.
Sam gettin' sideways.
Andrew- Hyped that Sam got that and that early in the season I was around to help out too.
I filmed a bit of street this year which was so sick.
We mighta forgot to put them in the movie though, oops hahaha.
Sam taking the faster way down.
Any major injuries this year besides the pretty gnarly concussion we saw Sam get in his Real Ski seg?
Taylor rolled her ankle inside her ski boot while we were in the Beartooths.
Head injuries are especially tough to be a part of.
Sam has a history of head trauma so I straight up wont film him if he doesnt wear one.
INSPIRED SLED GUY SWAZ.
Andrew- Yeah as Gav mentioned, Ethan cracked his sternum on our first day of filming this year.
The dude is a savage.
It was a loose operation this year in post-production and its entirely the responsibility of Andrew and I.
That hurt because EHeath is the glide god and we really didnt want to let him down.
Hyped for the NS awards though, maybe we can get back on Evans good side?
What should people expect from Bermuda compared with the first 2 movies Strictly has shot?
Gavin- Same bullshit with a few fresh ideas.
We tried to step it up on both sides of the lens and at the keyboard.
COVID was a fun way to reframe how we went into editing the movie.
It runs longer, slower, quieter, and more thoughtfully.
We love it and we hate it and we wanted that to come through in the film.
Hopefully people can appreciate the screen time that isnt skiing and connect those moments to their own.
The Most Gutter van got side swiped this spring and was totaled.
Is there anything you think can and should be done about it?
Gavin- I talked about this in a thread a few weeks ago.
The driver and passengers ran away from the scene.
I intend to never sell the films that I work on.
Theres just something really honest and equitable about making a movie for free.
is the dumbest fucking argument for this.
Its literally a donation.
Were not forcing anyone to give us their money.
We understand that street skiing isnt a noble cause.
If you dont want to give us your money, dont give us your money.
Were trying to foster stronger mutual support between our audience and Strictly.
Andrew- Thats some mf respect to Gav.
I feel the same.
Have you seen yourselves change and evolve as a group?
What are the major plans for the crew going into this winter?
Gavin- Strictly has grown to become family and were so proud of what we can make together.
It snowed in Denver yesterday and Pete just called me about getting up to hitting a spot tomorrow.
Guess were basically started?
MAJOR MOUNTAIN TOP INSP.
But nothing is more encouraging than seeing fresh ideas from the next generation.
We wish we could shout out to everyone pushing the envelope right now.
The future of skiing is in all of yall.
Our community is what gives us strength.
There arent rules to this.
Dont shovel the stairs if you dont want to.
Sure, go ahead and put the lip on the outside of the railing.
Theres too much exclusive, gatekeeping bullshit in skiing.
And especially every single one of us at Strictly are guilty of this, but were learning.
Go do what makes you happy.
Were going to do what makes us happy, whether or not you think its proper or not.
There is no right way to do it, and we stand by that.
All of our families and friends for believing in our vision.
Thanks for keeping us going.
Heres to the next ones!
