INSPIAAAAAD in two days My phone bleeped as the alert I set a few weeks earlier popped up.
As much as I tried to contain it, I was stoked for this stop of the tour.
I dont think that these are ski movies in the traditional sense.
This attitude carried through the whole premier.
These guys are really stoked on skiing and it makes them do stuff that people think is stupid.
People have joked that the editing can feel like a disorienting home video and I agree to some extent.
These movies arent edited commercially.
They arent focused on following the rules of film.
These are videos edited by their subjects, by their athletes.
These arent the kind of movies that are made for big anonymous theaters.
The magic of the tour is that it is really an expression of the stoke these guys have.
They could just send the movies out to premier across the country and stay comfortably at home.
Instead they travel with it.
They bring their stoke to their fans.
This is a movie tour where the focus is not on the movies.
Instead it is focused on bringing the athletes and their stoke on skiing to the fans.
Fans wrote their thanks to JP on this poster.
After the scheduled movies Tanner Hall came up front with some words for the crowd.
He also screened his self edited highlights from the season.
The edit was chock full of bangers, smashed pillows, ripped spines and fat backflips.
I wanted to holler THATS REAL SKIING!
Dont go to the Inspired Tour looking for artistic editing, game changing camera moves or pretty music.
