I believe that the potential that Kazaa offers for the movment of ski footage is being overlooked and underused. I am sure you know that Kazaa is the most popular information highway for mp3's and other files but I beleieve that the few ski video files that are available are weak sparse. Take for instance the people putting short edited ski footage in the video section here on NS. Many times it does not work properly due to the 2 meg size limit or it is so compressed that it is a much less interesting viewing expierence. Now I am not talking about illegally pirating major ski movies onto Kazaa (which you would have to be a moran to do because that would be completly fucking the hardworking people who barely turn a profit on them) but I am talking about short edited videos or clips that can come at a higher quality when there is no size limit. I am not telling everyone that they HAVE to go out and load up every ski clip from their cameras and put it on Kazaa, I am jusy suggesting that it would be cool if there were some nice edited 10 min vids or compilations of people and their friends shredding their hometown park.

If you are interested in sharing footage on Kazaa but dont know how, its simple! Just follow these steps...

1. Find the ski video file of you wish to share on Kazaa.

2. Drag it into your 'My Shared Folder' that contains all other shared Kazaa mp3,s and files.

3. Now, open Kazaa and go to 'My Kazaa' where your video should appear.

4. Right click on the file and scroll do to 'Edit details' where you can name the file, choose keywords and so on. PLEASE write an acurate description of the video so people dont waste time and hardrive space downloading something the don't want.

5. Finally, make sure that when viewing the file in 'My Kazaa' that on the lower tool bar at the TOP of the screen, the share button is clicked down so that you are sharing your footage.

Dont forget that when downloading someone elses footage and they sign off, just leave it in your download box uncomplete and when you sign on again other times it will search for more sources and continue the download.

Also, I have posted an edited film from last season of my friends and I at mammoth (chris bechetler, you are in there too, sorry if ur pissed). It isnt like Tanner Hall and shit but it is 9 mins of some pretty solid un seen skiing that we threw together during the summer. The down side however is that it is super high quality it will take along time to download from my shitty modem. But if you really want to see it just let it sit in ur download box.

I hope to see some more good ski footage on Kazaa in the near future. Thanks for reading.

 
just to let you know, it takes some time for stuff to get around. since its not based on a centralized server, its impossible to search the entire fasttrack network.

 
No its blakek@kazaa, there is a whole description for the vid and stuff.

To reply to your comment, I realize that there is no server and it is much slower but i have been seeing the same ripped of skiing shit for over a year. Just think, If only 100 of the couple thousand users on NS put some footy on Kazaa you would see a difference.

 
right now on kazaa, there isn't shit. i was very dissapointed when i looked.i downloaded the solidpowder.com video an posted it because of my dissapointment.

 
I had this idea too, and to make things easier of the non- ski culture, you could simply label your clip skiing, and then it would show up quicker on searches,

also, i don't see why movie trailers such as loosecannoeproductions doesn't use kazaa, or even

the trailer for blunt, which never seems to work,

it's a free way of spreading around your footage, and it wouldn't use up your sites bandwith

I downloaded Why Skiers Are Better Than Snowboarders. It was a bunch of clips from last years films. It was good.

yeah. take the solid powder movie off of Kazaa dude. they say that they don't want it on any of the P2P programs because they need the advertisement. I don't see why you couldn't put the trailer to it though.

I put up a few ones that disappeared from the internet like the NS version of Scandalous trailer and some random clips. Trailers are definitly good but make sure you put a link to the companys website or whatever.

oh yeah guys kazaa is evil.... ever heard of spyware???? when you click 'agree' on that little user agreement you are also saying that you agree to kazaa installing spyware on your computer that monitors what you do and records it....They then sell this information to advertisers who in turn put a shit load of pop ups on your computer. My advice is to go search for Lavasoft's program ad-aware. it will detect all the bullshit spyware on your computer and free up its resources.

We know that someone likes our movie someone not.

But hopefully next year we can make a better movie again... But that´s why YOU can help us to make a better ski & snowboard movie next year!!

We are offering you and you´re friends a unique chance to join our film crew for a new, FREE film. If you have, or you know someone who has, cool digital footage (Mini DV or better) out of something that relates to snow (skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling etc.), and you wouldn´t mind sharing it with the rest of the world, send it over! Our edit staff will view the footage and if we like it, it´ll become part of a new film. Similarly, if you have a band, or you know a band, who´s got just the right tunes for a film, please send demo tape(s) over for a review (you can also send them electronically as mp3´s). All that we require is the approval of the band for the free use of the music.

I don't know how this would affect anything, but i'm getting DSL next week. so if anyone wants me to put their movie on my computer, i'm on kazaa every night, when i get dsl, all the time. i'm not sure if it help you guys speed up your download time if the other end has a fast connection. so, if anyone knows the answer to that one, let me know.

Yo, my man, born2skixxx, has put a short trailer/clip collection of a new film called Verify on kazaa, search for 'verify' or 'so-tec' and you will be all set

Yeah, for all the people that say that Kazaa is spyware, you are all fucking paranoid.

I have about all the ski movie trailers i could get off the net on my computer, and am gladly sharing them on kazaa. i do need to do a bit of work on the file discriptions, but yeah. Im having computer problems right now, but i should have it fixed soon. I think my name is Newschoolskier on kazaa (i think, its old and i dont remember...) so anyways, download stuff!!

Oh shit, there it goes....

All these skier kids want to see nowadays is big air. You want to see some big air? Pull my finger...

i dont care about spyware, i care about all the fucking popups

'In a rare moment, JF is seen not grabbing his crotch.' -Shane Szocs
 
search for Rock Star Productions and some last years promos and a trailer and a couple clips should come up, pretty sick shit

 
Use Kazaa LITE, no spyware and I think they limit or stop ads and popups. And if your on at the right time you can download this video of this guy doing a switch double back. Its crazy.

 
I can't find any of these movies!! ARG!

Where I live, there are five ski resorts within 10 kilometers of my house. Everybody who lives here, whether they're rich or poor, skis all the time. In the winter, skiing's a way of life. The ski resorts are open until 11 p.m. If you don't know what to do, you go skiing. When you get off from work, you go skiing. Mathieu Paquette about St-Sauveur

 
if you guys want to post longer movies and clips, check out sasfilms.com. Right now it doesn't have the fancy front page it used too, but it will soon. In the mean time, the clip gallery and user submitted gallery work, and I don't think there's a limit on the user gallery.
