Yes, if you did not know it already, it is fake. If you thought it was real, I am happy you did. Arvid Niklasson contacted me and said that he had a good idea for the movie. Arvid is a Visual Effects artist / 3d genius and probably has a many more fancy titles. He wanted to make a some fake shots for the movie so I sent him footage that he could play around with, I did not really know what to expect but when I got the file back I was blown away. He just sent me this which I thought was really interesting. So much time goes into this.

Friday productions followed us for a month to make a TV episode about the making of Pony Tale called Free Rein for their TV show called Snowboard Diaries. Snowboard Diaries aires Tuesdays at 8PM ET/PT at Fuel TV and will be available on hulu.com after the show has aired.
Trailer for the show:
This is how Fuel TV describes the show.
Snowboard Diaries fuses the basic human value of ‘the struggle’ with the sport of professional snowboarding. Friday Productions follows the world’s top riders as they spend the winter living out their lives competing in contests, filming their video parts, and riding epic backcountry terrain. Friday captured all the highs, lows, drama, despair, and triumphs to create “Snowboard Diaries.”
This weeks episode is about Eero Ettala´s rail filming missions in Finland. Upcoming shows covers how to make an independent snowboard film with Us, Kevin Pearce Competing season, Pat Moore in the Whistler BC and Mads Jonsson and the Hemsedal Session. Be sure to check this out!
Its bad weather here so Hampus and Jakob decided to make a slam section for you guys to watch. So, I gave them some slams that we have for them to play with. The result was pretty impressive:
Hampus & Jakob Productionz Presentz:
It has been dumping the last week in the Salt Lake City area. So much snow. We took a short trip to Las Vegas for the S.I.A. trade show during the bad weather days which was really fun and productive.
Met up with a lot of friends and planned the season a little. We where gone for 36 hours and went straight up to the Grizzly Gulch when we got home.
After a relatively short hike we got up to the jump spot. Knut Eliassen was getting really sick at this time. Poor guy, can believe he made it up there and that he hiked the jump 15 times. I thought he was going to die. CLICK FOR VIDEO

We built a fun step down jump and had a fun session.
Jakob, sideways.
