Pretty sure this is something that was from the era of recording on tapes that transferred over a bit unnecessarily. Since tapes are just continuous and have no separate files like a digital cam, to mark where a sick shot was the filmer would put his hand in front of the camera as a marker. Then, when going through the footy, picking out the good shots is as easy as fast forwarding through the footy and looking for the hands.

*background emotional music

You know, it's just who we are

*slow mo shot of heli landing*

We're always pushing the sport, progressing the sport

*climbing in heli*

When you're soaring through the mountains in that heli, looking for a place to drop and you're thinking "where should I drop?"

*Inaudible radio chatter with a BLOOP when they release the talk button

*Shot of heli flying away from skiers at mountain top

*Music stops

On radio "Three, two, one, DROPPAAANG!!"

*Long distance shot of skier coming down cliff face

*Film crew ooh's and aaah's

"This is what I do, this is who I am"

This thread delivers.
 
Every summer setup edit: hiking to the drop in and the skier does the thing where they spin the ski while throwing it in the air and catching it
