The first was a night at Mt.

Bottom line, what you see is what you get.

Hard skiing, hard partying, hard living.

Sklar: Lets get a roll call.

Whos checking in here?

Matt Sklar: Im in Washington for the year going to school.

Danny:Im living in Portland, OR with my parents back like its the high school days.

Taking some classes at Portland State University and trying to figure out plans for the next few years.

Tanner Boudreau:Just been hanging out in Utah waiting for snow to fall.

School, work, and partying to pass the time.

Just waiting for some snow to fall in the mountains and the city!

A4:Ive been getting yoked in the gym staring at thots.

Also been working one of the all time stoniest jobs, major shouts to the weedy boys.

Brad:Got turnt, deleted all my snapchat friends, got a house with a stripper.

Sklar: First off, Thirsty.

What are your thoughts looking back on it?

Normally, there would just be a bunch of sunset shots from a PC booter and private snowmobile laps.

A4:Honestly I was surprised by the amount of positive feedback the movie received.

It was nominated for Amateur movie of the year.

In my opinion Thirsty was the second best Amateur film of the year behind Finesse, or damn close.

Which is pretty cool to reflect on.

Basically these are all the things Freed intended the movie to be and he executed them perfectly.

Heff:Really hyped on the feedback!

Stoked everyone is loving it.

Shoutoutz to Freed for putting in some long hours on this as well as everyone who made it happen.

Sklar: What part of the movie were you most hyped about?

Meeks:Anders and Heffy logged some epic shots and parts this year.

All the homies killed it super hard and I think the Hood shots are my favorite.

Between the hip, Windells clips and Crater rock jump it is hard not to be stoked.

A4:The last two club banger tracks and the shots of Rudolf skiing in the ocean.

Tanner:I was super stoked on Brads segment!

Some people dont know that Brad had 2 injuries last season.

Heff:Freeds stair, dirt, rock skiing was definitely the headliner of the movie… truly classic.

Other notable parts are Johnny Boo, brad drunk at Windells, airplane shots… too many to name.

Sklar: How hard is it to organize the crew and get shit done?

Meeks:Depends on the crew, day and feature.

Sklar: This is the first time you havent put the movie online for free.

Talk us through that decision.

Where is the money going?

Temporary tattoos and weed?

Danny:Sales worked out well.

I really wanted to see tangible results from our years worth of work.

He has put in endless amounts of hours into Hoodcrew projects.

I think Freed deserves a large portion of the profits from this movie.

Heff:Hopefully Freed is just spoiling his gurl molly with all the profits.

Danny:More tangible merchandise.

Meeks:Hopefully Anders keeps killing it on the THC merchandise and we can move forward with that.

Big thanks to the squidsquad out there.

Sklar: It looks like the premiere in got pretty wild, care to share any stories?

Tanner:Hahaha yeah it got a little out of hand.

Next thing you know, BOOM, 150 or so people are raging in Blatts back yard.

We proceed to play Chuuch Crews movie Church and then move on to Thirsty around 10.

About 34 through our movie the cops showed up rolling 10 or so cars deep and shut everything down.

Brad proceeded to backflip off a cop car and the crowd dispersed to multiple after parties.

Meeks:Well the whops kicked in as the movie started.

I know a few of us were feeling reaaaallly fucking bomb.

Passed a ton of kids still walking to the premier while everyone else was dipping out.

Basically it went exactly how we expected.

Brian:The police report was hella funny!

I think Blatt has a picture of it somewhere.

You should try and search for that shit!

It talks about literally everything that went down.

Wibbity Wabs:Ask ur main girl and ur side girl… they was both there geekin.

Brad:My backflip was swagged out.

Blatt:Some kid told me he could hear the premiere 8 blocks away…

I got evicted, but the premiere was tight!

Patrick:Pow jumps and more pow jumps hopefully.

It is a lot harder than shooting urban in a whole crew, especially with equipment.

I know Little Mike (Briggs) used snowshoes to get to half the jumps I hit with him.

Meeks:Personally I am really stoked to be living with some really motivated and awesome skiers this year.

Living with this crew should help solve some of the harder logistics behind getting shots.

Also want to make some new friends this year like maybe a giraffe or a pelican.

Sklar: Any specific plans or trips youre looking forward to?

Can we still expect to see all the edits weve come to expect?

How about another movie?

As far as the crew goes I think it will work both ways.

Freed will find a way out here plenty, but Its definitely not the same without him.

Last year was plagued with injuries and the lack of snow in the city was difficult to work with.

With any luck I believe this year will be our best yet.

I got a weird feeling the crew as a whole is going to do some serious crushing this winter.

Im hoping Freed will put together another movie and continue making classics.

Brian:Freed is like the damn glue that holds us together.

Always stick to whats fun and dont conform to any frat life bull shit.

Skiing is meant to be free so keep it that way.

Another shout out to all the shorties out there keeping our beds warm in the winter.

Without you we would probably freeze to death at night.

Showtowtz to Shawty Lo Backpack…w/o her.

I’m not sure who Freed’s inspiration would or may be.
