This video never gets old

[@benoitbreton]

thanks !!!!

[@sandypickleuwu]

That mountain looks beautiful. Wish I was there right now. Love powdered snow

[@PROD4LOOP]

I love watching relatable riding like this. No crazy flips or anything, just enjoying the snow ✊

[@istvanferrare2323]

Simply the most appealing snowboard video I've seen online so far! A fun looking run in a stunning landscape, long steady images, thank you for taking us out there : )

[@arjanluhar]

I always get a good feeling about the video when I hear The Glitch Mob

[@a1iensan]

One of the most awesome non-commercial video!

[@benvandenbergh9232]

The Glitch Mob makes everything even more epic!!

[@TheBackwasher]

that fresh powder noise at the end is way better than any music, true story

[@TheBackwasher]

It's porn to my ears shall I say

[@BrotherSocietyHD]

So awesome!!

[@asafel]

by far the best snowboarding video i ever watched on youtube!!!

[@Luchodedominicis]

Best snowboard video of all times, really awesome

[@dthigs2532]

Now thats what I call having fun. GREAT VIDEO...........

[@teppiztone]

Congratz! Amazing powder day and very beautiful spot. I think you can find more fun with a board a bit longer but i pray everyday for a day like this. Powder, Sun and Friends!

[@joehansonair]

Amazing! To achieve such a beautiful film using only a GoPro and a drone is an incredible feat. That must have taken a lot of hard work and creativity. Thank you for sharing :)

[@53glowe]

One of the best ski films (I've seen a lot) I've ever seen in terms of point of view (PoV), including drone, polecam etc. Editing / footage / music is first class...absolutely brilliant. Well done.

[@orangejuicefivepro]

Just shows how a few guys can make a pro edit!! Awsome!

[@MerrittMcKinney]

Quite possibly the best GoPro snowboard edit out there.

[@user-fo2yo2fm7j]

Brilliant video! The sky camera and the slow motions are superb!

[@mizdjo1705]

Magnifiques!..beau travail les mecs!

[@daztaylor25]

Nice vid .... really gets me excited for the season

[@YaknJr5]

probably one of the most underrated videos on youtube. This is sick!

[@DJEdPulido]

Simply amazing video, editing, everything. Nice!

[@JudgeDredd_]

I was thinking of upgrading my Hero3+'s to the latest GoPro's but this video kind of proves those aren't necessarily needed. Thanks for the video this was a killer production!

[@soul06]

5 minutes and 33 seconds of my time well spent. Great vid

[@PS3LUV3R]

First of all, the snow looks AMAZING and it's making me very jealous, and makes me want to snowboard really bad (my seasons over). Also, very nicely done with the video and editing. Makes it a great viewing experience!

[@MatthiesWesche]

You, Sir, are getting my thumbs up! Awesome video, beatiful shots!!! Makes me want snow so bad!

[@d4k1n6x]

this video + jamiroquai:"Corner of the earth"= complete relaxation.

[@AshGol]

literally my favorite video on youtube. watched it so many times. amazing music, great snowboarding. strong work.

[@MLBProspectPortal]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE! Awesome video guys!

[@wildernesslife6479]

AWESOME VIDEO!! much love from Canada

[@michaelrasonyi5635]

love the song, fits perfectly

[@marc12530]

Love it! I just bought my Phantom to Niseko in japan with the exact same idea! but didn't get to fly it cos it didn't stop dumping down the whole time i was there! now I'm setting it up with fatshark and gimble to make it a whole lot easier.. awesome video guys!

[@antonaa1000]

This is one of the coolest videos I've seen in q while, great job

[@Lucas-gf9dv]

This looks like heaven.

[@mathkaory1229]

Très bon travail, la qualité des images et du montage rarement vu sur d'autres vidéos amateurs, bravo!

[@vedhed21]

Your vid is freaking dope! Amazing pow, great cinematography for just a couple of gopros and a drone. You set a high bar for the rest of us.

[@livakarabashyan913]

sooo breathtaking, just can't believe my eyes! You've inspired me to start snowboarding myself

[@goprosnowboardingCA]

VERY nice video. I do editing and snowboarding films myself and have only dreamed of producing videos at this quality. One question i have is how did you do the slow motion towards the end of the video. It was so nice and i can't describe why can you help me out. What editing software did you use for the slo mo and how? By the way I only have iMovie

[@yeahyeah4244]

Outfits on point! Gorgeous footage of the mountain too

[@HereWeGoNow]

DOPE EDIT! Love the film work with the Phantom 2.

[@rositapasaribu6945]

[@WeBeYachting]

Great video mate, thumbs up. Cheers from the IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.

[@nicolasbuzzi9417]

very good edition, the colours look really nice.

[@atomiswave2]

I love this video I have probably seen it like nearly 10 x.

[@miked.r.6671]

The Phantom / The Glitch Mob . Nice editing.....Great Video!

[@Joshsjot]

Sick video homie!!! So long as you were having fun that's all that matters. And it looks like you were having a BLAST!!! Keep It up!!!! SHREAD LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheNotoriousKRP]

Right on.

[@bobrusha]

very nice colours and cool views... post processing is also super!

[@APinkie123]

Amazing, breathtaking video! I'm so impressed, now i wanna learn free-riding more than ever! And also dream to learn filming and editing go pro movies like that (need to buy a stick for sure, for my go pro 4!) Absolutely gorgeous movie!

[@adelacruz]

This was really cool guys! Enjoyed it very much and you gave me some ideas for my next riding session!

[@barpg2802]

Amazing in every aspect! well done!

[@soaljack]

Love what you guys have done here. I have had dreams about snowboarding with a drone doing the follow cam. Just subscribed for more.

[@leonrebok]

Super sick quality and editing!!! Snowboarding aswell of course :D

[@nikitaproduction127]

I love this video with the music...! nice nice nice

[@jasonfournier5235]

How did he slow it down so much and still maintain that high definition look, at 4:30 it looks like that would have had to been shot in 240fps but it looked HD to me

[@azzlify202]

he most likely uses an effect available for Adobe AFX called Twixtor which blends the frames and calculates the movement of the pixels and simulates a slow motion shot. If you look carefully enough at the trees in that shot, you can see how the slow motion isn't accurate and they sort of blend fade in and out cause of the inaccuracies of the program. They used it to show some really stunning shots though!

[@JamesCrabb-3dArtist]

one word...... Twixtor

[@TedWlsn]

1080p 120fps and twixtor or flux

[@gusakerman2648]

Wlsn No because he filmed with an Hero 3+, the Hero 3+ can't record in 1080p and 120fps? Only Hero 4 man. He must have shot in 1080p 60fps or 720 120fps.

[@HomieCentral]

sick vid. best backcountry vid I've seen

[@justinarmer3918]

the art of making anything cool with slo mo

[@warriora7245]

[@andrewistfan6867]

Am I the only one who couldn't help noticing the chair lifts in the "backcountry?" xD Anyways, great video man.

[@MrNotCameron]

Vraiment beau, et sympa les ptits passages en drone :) Vivement la prochaine !

[@sZv93]

Best video i've ever seen in my life. Peace ✌

[@TylerHarney]

Interesting dynamic lighting on that GoPro, do you have some sort of polarizer or neutral density filter on it?

[@SuperHornet111]

Amazing ride bro, respect to you!

[@OliCullimore]

This is an amazing edit - just bought a phantom for myself

[@amaury0713]

encore une très belle réalisation ! bravo

[@billyb9585]

absolutely amazing video! well done lads - given me some inspiration for my next gopro edit as my first was pretty pants. I'm heading back to morzine / avoriaz Jan 2016 - care to divulge where this lovely bit of backcountry is in your vid?

[@jonha134]

Beautiful video and awesome riding!

[@mimscourtney]

Sweet shots man!!! Great slo-mo integration... Looking to get good DJI Phantom 3 pro shots this season.. What's the restrictions w/ drones in Avoriaz and other resorts... Hope they don't shut up down...

[@cyrilhaessig27]

[@frenzytwo2]

[@Tmy8ster]

Hey man, great vid. What field of view did you use to get the whole snowboard in the frame? Or how long is your pole? Awesome vid!

[@ivanj6669]

Super fun super awesome vid! Filmed in Dec? Early in that season and already great pow!

[@ScottSeymourMusic]

Amazing video. We are looking at getting a Phantom as well for our next ski trip! What frame rate did you use for the slow motion sections? I have Premiere Pro CC. Thanks guys

[@Dakrahs]

he used a plugin called twixtor i guess

[@gopro_duction8176]

Une belle vidéo, de bonnes prises de vues, un montage bien réalisé, bravo!

[@leorotondo4465]

Bravissimi👏!!Anche a me piace andare sullo snowaboard.

[@gribouille75011]

Heuu puis je être curieux, où se situent ces hors pistes sur avoriaz ? sur quels massifs , quels sont les chemins pour y accéder ? fais tu le guide sur Avoriaz ? ... moyennent un bon repas et une bonne bière ;-)

[@rusland2426]

[@JoshDavies89]

That backflip!! :D Sick video buddy!

[@GuusDeGraeve]

Really nice vid! At what resolution and fps were you shooting? 1080@60? How did you get those slomo's with only 60fps?

[@benoitbreton]

Hi ! Thanks a lot ! Absolutely, shooted in 1080p60i Fot slow motion : twixtor pro !!!

[@GuusDeGraeve]

[@xLDE.]

+B Prod nice vid dude! i have a gopro hero 3+ and i use 1080p 60fps, is it normal that my quality (the videos) seem like they are on a lower resolution?

[@chronichronichronic]

[@mizdjo1705]

Un pure Régal! 👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@benoitbreton]

Merci beaucoup !!

[@denniswhoknows6632]

God Bless u guys! Editing is as great as riders ))

[@curso88]

hello Amazing. The camera of the yellow and black snowboard ryder is best quality. Is the HERO 3+? All cameras of this video are the HERO 3+? What is best for my Phantom? the HERO 3 or the HERO 3+? Thanks in advance

[@cichlidbro8566]

Tres bien fait, mes amis de la poudre! Peut etre que j'mi renderai au Alpes un de ces jours!

[@mrsandman1108]

3 things, first love the video, second what editing software do you use? and lastly, what is they best type of all around board? thanks

[@SurrealOfficial]

Ben- this video is freaking awesome. I'm a musician doing a cover of music from a snowboarding game and I was wondering if I could use this video for it!

[@Xikixarli]

Good video. What you use in the editing? Final cut and twistor for slow motion??

[@szokone]

This spot is so cool !!! Great pouder.

[@YourTechGuide.]

great footage brother!

[@jasonzhang587]

I really like your blue white snowboarding outfit! Could tell me what brand or where you got them? Thanks!

[@filipeq2604]

awesome guys! Imagine with karma grip and mavic pro ...

[@davidharrison8309]

Love this video, Watched it at least 10 times now. Is it made with just 2 or 3 people and a drone camera? Off to the mountains in 2 days, powder hunting and playing that music via spotify, result.

[@GUSSmerfyDude]

great video! How do you get to the off piste you're riding in it is it near Lindarets or in a different area? Would be great to know which lift its off thanks!

[@cassidym2932]

One can merely dream of shredding power like that....

[@winni555]

amazing shots you guys got there!

[@chrissharpe1918]

Great vid. Hitting Avoriaz for "snowbox" in 2019 can't wait!

[@lorebri_1257]

[@beigestallion2929]

Where is this place in Avoriaz ? Looks amazing, I'm going there for the christmas holidays.
