i think that ns should host torrents of every ski movie made before two years ago. i figure that the ski movie companies can't be making much money on these, and it'd be a good way to preserve our sport's history.
HAI GUIZE I LOVE THE SKI INDUSTRY, BUT SUPPORTING IT IS JUST SO DAMN EXPENSIVE! DOES ANYBODY HAVE STOLEN SKIS, OUTERWEAR, OR ANYTHING ELSE THEY CAN GIVE ME? I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!
that would actually be a decent idea. There's no way you can buy a copy of movies like Blizzard of Aahhs or The Good The Rad and The Gnarly. And there's no way anyone can still make money off a movie from the 80's so why not have them available to download for free? If someone wants to convert their old vhs into digital and upload it that would be sweet. A feature length video section would be awesome.
We've tossed around the idea with several producers to create an on demand listing full of ski movies. Some liked the idea and some don't. We just haven't received anything yet to start populating the channel. There are a ton of old movies out there we'd love to see get online, and we'll see what we can do to get the process started
Lol at all the people getting uptight about torrenting ski movies. How much music have you illegally downloaded? How many movies have you watched online for free? How would it possibly hurt the ski industry to download a movie that nobody can/will buy anymore?
This. Past 2 years is a little short though... it should be at least 5 years, with the permission of the producers of the films. There are tons of ski movies out there before my, and many other NS'ers time and it would be sick if we could get to watch older movies to get an idea of the progression of our sport.
