One more comment: IT SHOULD READ 90% OF THE MOVIE STIMULUS. That's a typo. Nothing intentional, sorry. We shot 90% of that movie and edited 90% of both movies. Ask the skiers who shot them, it's not like it can't be proven. Sky edited the opening credits of JSD and 1 section in Stimulus. Do the math, one section is about 10% of each film.
^it does say 90%, and i still think it's bullshit. i don't understand what problems you could be having with RAGE when, from what you're saying, they hardly had anything to do with making the movie. you guys need to get over yourselves.
If you still don't believe me, ask the skiers. Many of them barely know Sky, like Oakden, Peifer, Tanner, McIntosh, Eby, Hannan, Johnston, Huss, Barlow, Cotter, Wheeler, and on and on. I don't what else to tell you, you don't have to believe. The problem we had with rage is ethics, so we're trying to seperate our image from them, that's the point of this press release. And people don't realize the role we had in making these movies, which is proven by these posts. Again, that's the point of the press release.
And I really don't feel the need to get our friends and employees to go online, defend us, and call Rage a bunch of fags. We only had issues with Sky, the rest are nice people, Thomas, Pete, Monica, etc. Even despite what they are posting about us above. And Sky is really nice as just a friend, but without the business side of things mixed in.
And Thomas, I'm sure Tanner, Gordy, etc. would back up the fact that Slip knows how to ski just fine. Your comment is weird. And Seth and Tommy deserved to be in JSD, they killed it and are incredibly talented. If you want underdogs, we shoot with Ordway, McIntosh, Wheeler, Hannan, Johnston, Barlow, Eby, Buchbauer, Flahr, Wheeler, Alford, Cotter, Paquin, Fontana, Burton, etc. All of them are underdogs that are given a chance. Sooo....we help skiers plenty.
Lance--read my post again, and see what I wrote. Tommy and Seth parts are in JSD because they're sick skiers and Sky recognized that, but Slip tried to keep those parts out. That's a fact. He didn't succeed, but he did manage to knock out other Hood skiers parts, like Jonny Armstrong's. He favored B footage of big names. Also, I don't work for Rage, and neither do 95% of the people who are defending Rage in these posts. And since when was Heath Ordway an underdog? Cotter isn't an underdog either. In fact, those guys are just the opposite; they get exposure they don't deserve. They had their fair chance, but they stopped progressing and now they rest on their laurels. Other skiers their age have to work 3 times as hard to get the coverage those guys get for recycling old tricks.
The bottom line is that your press release was a sucker punch to Rage films. That's why people are writing these posts. I never post on NS; I just read the news, but this time I had to.
Ordawy was out for a couple years with a blown knee, he is back doing bio 7s off 40 foot cliffs (that Sky shot) so he is definitely progressing. But anyways....Tommy and Seth didn't make this year's film, just the bonus. That was a mutual decision. So what's up with that? If you don't work for Rage, you really can't comment that you know facts. Seth and Tommy were questionable until Superpark footage came in, then nobody disagreed. Team 13 did knock out the other Hood skiers, that's a fact though. And they still hold a grudge. Sorry. Rage will be able to represent all of them this year, no doubt.
We never ended it respectfully because we were not being treated respectfully by Sky. Some people who know the whole story thought we actually let them off easy. I wish Rage luck in the future and will end it here, that's the best I can do. I still believe they have much talent. [/hover]
I can't beleive the shit I'm reading right now! First of all slit,slut,slappy,slippy, what ever your gay ass code name is, what kind of a pussey hides behind his hat while he talks shit on one of the hardest working, most respected filmers in the industry. You don't hold a candle to to the name sky or rage films and you never will. You call your self a business man? You work out of a basement. Rage is going places you could only have wet dreams of. In the past its taken you two seasons to make one film, in todays market that ain't gonna fly slippy. peace out. p.s. RAGE-SKY-PETE- LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!
Ha Ha if you are referring to me. I did make a movie back in 2001 that took 2 seasons. but I didn't have to fuck anybody over to do it. however as i said above I have no problems with Rage and we will continue to work together. as fars as hidding behind my username. everyone who actually has a say in this matter knows who I am. so who the fuck are you???
Rage is the shit. When we put on a Stimulus showing with them at Gonzaga, it was Timmy, Pete, and Sky who were there, busting their asses and getting shit done. Also, hanging out with those guys showed the heart and soul that they put into everything they do. True Rockstars in my book. On behalf of GU's entire ski club and community, kick ass and take names, Rage.
