Tim Humphreys - GoPro camera self filming - snowboarding @ Mammoth

[@MHsnowboarding]

I have probably watched this video 80 or more times already and i just found it 2 weeks ago. Some of the sickest footage i have ever seen man. Cant wait for season to start!

[@r3b000t]

Thank You so much for creating and sharing this! Watching this vid allows me to escape the confines of my cubicle for 2 minutes and feel like I'm actually there. It's so flowy and relaxing - cool tune too!

[@Cherb123456]

Fantastic video, I keep coming back to it, can't wait for Winter this year, cheers! Thank you!

[@marciomgalvao]

Never get tired of watching this video!

[@abekislevitz]

@abstraktcs ha for sure. Good luck with the ankle! Hope it heals up fast.. weather should get nice after today for a while hopefully for the sake of superpark

[@MCFilm13]

the fact that you could keep yourself in frame is just amazing. great vid

[@imorsm]

one of the best snowboard vids ive seen with the hand held cam

[@mchegger]

Right on! You definitely got it goin' on. Thanks for posting. I wish it could be as easy as you make it look. Looking forward to getting my first gopro camera next week. Can't wait.

[@fromyou10]

one of my favorite videos ever. its amazing and original. 0 dislikes is how it is supposed to stay

[@varelse219]

omg i love this vid so much. i come back to it all the time. especially when i'm in a bad mood or something. love it!!!! (plus you seem like a really cool guy)

[@caryreed]

bro this is one of the sickest snowboarding videos ive seen in a long time... great job!

[@Dobbs6651]

so smooth so fresh

[@Gruber1922]

so sick dude. one of the best vids ive seen. people can learn so much from this video too. amazing

[@abekislevitz]

sick man! saw you out in mainpark riding with the cam!

[@hukutocuk]

really amazing.. and track so great to listen

[@TranceAddictFoX]

This video is sick dude. Great riding and awesome recording. I love when the rider has the camera

[@TimHumphreys]

@soUnderground It's good everywhere for the most part. Pipe, medium to huge jumps, ripping turns down the trail, and in pow. I have to work pretty hard to press it on rails, but I had an early one that was a bit stiff, but I think they softened them up a little for production

[@v4vaggelis]

from the best live action snowboarding i ve seen in a long time m8... welldone!! congrats 4 your skills..!

[@SaturdayWinter]

MY favorite pro snowboarder right here, also best go pro vids ever!

[@TimHumphreys]

@bassfishin14 It fits big! I'm 5'8" and the XL goes to a few inches above my knees (I'm wearing an XL in this video). The XL will fit you, but if you like it big, then you would want to go 2X especially since your 6'3". The pants are just a pair of Sessions Gridlock pants! I prefer the extra length and size for riding. Stoked to hear that your interested in my jacket! I spent alot of time trying to figure out the length and cut I wanted. I can't stand jackets that are all short and boxy.

[@rem177]

simply amazing. its funny, some people who see this think its fake at first. Really good filming, and even better riding. Keep em coming!

[@Ollliie]

You make it look easy, simply awsome man

[@Mattgilbertson]

Best go por footage so far in the snowboarding scene so sick dude keep up the great work this is my like 8th time watching it in about 3 days great footage again and the song goes so well whats the name of it

[@alexcroox]

greatest snowboarding video ever, sick boarding and a great sound track :D

[@nkohen321]

Very inspirational ride man! Sick all the way thru! Love the choice of music too.

[@BarbBCue]

sick shots! great style while holding a cam in the hand. Never seen that good stuff !!

[@Griffin035]

That is some of the most epic footy I have ever seen!! I'd like to see a couple laps with a pole mount...

[@TimHumphreys]

@wallach123 I believe they are the icon soft Habitat rasta's! I snagged them when I was at the Skullcandy office earlier this year. Definitely my favorite headphones that Skdy has made so far. I used the HD Hero with a little ghetto handle I made out of some of the attachments that came in the motorsports package.

[@TimHumphreys]

@1likestoskate depends what's in the park. If your doing tons of jibbing, and not hitting massive jumps over like 50-60ft then the Era is a good choice. Quantum is a lot stiffer, so it's better for pipe and big jumps, but it's hard to press on rails. It's mostly preference though to be honest. Both are awesome boards!

[@spencercrabb5158]

Hey Im a huge fan and i started snowboarding 2 years ago and want to start hitting a lot more terrain! Any suggestions on gear? I love evrything about this video! Please keep them coming!

[@evil0ner]

santigold has some great tunes for riding.. This song and starstruck such good tunes.

[@TimHumphreys]

@ambivalent455 I think they are both the same board. If I recall correctly, this years Era comes in a 53 and a 56, and next year's comes in a 52 and a 55

[@sorukai]

How has this video not gotten more hits? It's epic

[@TimHumphreys]

@TxMISSILE I just sacked up on a scaffolding jump and tried it. It was really soft snow for the landing though. If you can try it into pow, That's ideal. Airbag works well too, but they're always really poppy jumps that are different from what's in the park. From my experience, back 10 dub is 2 tricks. backside 5 kinda flat, and cab underflip. you gotta throw it really hard off the lip, but try not to cork right away. first 540 is flat, then you dunk the 2nd 540. try it when its soft out

[@skatemore28]

i really love the music!! and you`r an amazing snowboarder!

[@crazysteezy]

Dude major props this is the dopest video i saw today

[@TimHumphreys]

@AbcZackk Good question.. I don't remember if they came with the fire lenses in them or not. I got the smith hookup, so I have tons of different frames and lenses kicking around

[@dibbla]

Sick video.....its so stable. No blur at all. Also whats the track??!

[@TimHumphreys]

@sup3rbanana11 It's a Flow Era. One of those Reverse Camber sticks. Normally I would ride a regular camber board when I'm hitting jumps, but it was really slushy out so I chose to ride a reverse! helps you surf through all the slush

[@TimHumphreys]

@rnikehovve good lighting, proper transfer and export settings.. etc etc. make sure you keep the lens really clean as well!

[@TimHumphreys]

@EXPNVM Yeapp! I even made the handle I used outta some of the connector pieces that came with it. Do they make more lenses for GoPro's?!

[@TheGoPole]

@Jertifa you can use a gopole handle to hold the cam like this

[@uclashorty]

this is soo sick! i saw this a few weeks ago when mammoth posted it but i just saw it again today on sportsnation on espn2! they called you a "snowboarding star" and a "snowboarding genius" hahah. awesome job.

[@spencercrabb5158]

Hey thanks again for responding If it helps at all im about 5' 2". I was also wondering if the flow bindings take away from control at all? Theres been a lot of controversy about if they do or dont! Thanks again! Also Mount hood is a great place to be when theres powder!

[@SLboarder21]

thank you for making my day.

[@TimHumphreys]

aahhh the ol washout strikes again! sounds like you just need to spot your landing early and open up at the correct time! it could be that you're overflipping it, and in an effort to keep your feet down, you turn that extra flip into some spin on landing. I try to spot, open up to slow my rotation, then tighten back up to adjust my rotation so my feet come right under me as i hit the landing. lemme know how it went! :D

[@evil0ner]

such a sick video. I use to go pro just to film wakesurfing, and offshore fishing. big ups mang!

[@qsc190]

Amazing Video i love the music. Soooo What's the name of the song, much appreciated :)

[@jshiNez]

that was sickkk bro! sick filming man' and nice cut. i wanted to get a go hd pro, and now i def. am. u sealed the deal for me. post up more vids. using the cam if you can man. till then. do your thing!

[@TimHumphreys]

@Griffin035 pole mounts get a good view, but theyre really hard to keep stable and framed right when your spinning. maybe if I straight air a big drop or something in the backcountry..

[@AKbrenny]

When is the next self shot video being put up. Cool to see self shot stuff in the park, a lot more fun to watch than just people filming themselves doing pow lines.

[@Angelow07]

cool video, you're awesome Tim. I wonder what the song is too

[@V4L3R102]

Tim - there is a new record. I have watched this video 12 times in a day. The song is also like... hypnotic.

[@Lift991]

hey man, im a huuuuge fan. Love the video. Im trying to land 360's but i just dont seem to be getting it down :/ any tips?

[@TimHumphreys]

@boarderross I think they have it up somewhere. Keep an eye out for the ads in Snowboarder and Transworld Snowboarding!

[@TxMISSILE]

@abstraktcs Cool man. That's some good info. It's going down this season at some point or another. It's just one of those tricks you have to go big in order to do it right so the first chuck is always iffy. How did your first one turn out? You get the rotation around the right way?

[@TheVictumLess]

Dude your style is no joke.... sick vid bro.

[@TimHumphreys]

@stewy2316 Pretty big. first one is like 65 ft deck with maybe a 10 ft high wedge. the double line is like a 40 and a 50

[@Squiddlysplooch]

this.... this is awesome.

[@TimHumphreys]

@Dvald25 Yepp, They're a pair of smith I/O goggles with some red sol-x lenses in em. good for the really bright days. There's lots of goggles out there. go to a shop and try some on and see what works!

[@xLopez210x]

Sick runs bro, GoPro is definitely a good camera, great stuff.

[@BisdremisKostas]

great skills !!! gopro totaly rocks

[@jasonsong86]

Both GoPro and your filming have come a long way.

[@TimHumphreys]

@ambivalent455 I don't think it hits stores quite yet my friend! It comes in at least a 52, a 55, and it's reverse camber

[@selectordove82]

Gopro should give you a lifetime supplies of their stuff since you sold alot of their cameras with this, you sold one to me. great stuff bro, this is for the oscars.

[@alaskansnowboarder14]

So sick man, We need a pro to come up to Fairbanks, Alaska!

[@TimHumphreys]

@varelse219 Thanks for the props! Stoked that it helps you turn that frown upside down :D

[@guitarnoobssuck]

@abstraktcs DUDE When're you putting up another vidoe?! Totally stoked on that man

[@TimHumphreys]

@longboarderscooter The headphones are some Skullcandy Icon Soft's, and the goggs are Smith I/O's with a Sol-X lens : )

[@TimHumphreys]

@SurfSkate26 could be anything, but most likely how you transfer the footage. I use mode R3 to record it. Then transfer it to DVCPROHD720p60. Then use Cinema Tools to conform it to 30fps so it runs 60 frames at 30fps for half speed. Then I put it into final cut

[@tryaspatula]

I love ur footy Tim - saw it when you first uploaded and couldn't work out what the hell you were spinning - inspired me to get my old ass back in the park to fix my style. Still not ripping like you but at least I can call your run now! Took me ages to find this vid again, glad I did... here goes: BS 7 Nose; Nollie Tame-dog off the deck (revert - let you off on that one ;) FS 3; BS 5; BS 1 Japan; Cab 5; FS Rodeo 5; FS Flat 5; Rail combos I can't name; BS 7 Tail; FS Stale straighty. How'd I do?

[@TimHumphreys]

@AnduTV Yupp, I/O spherical goggles with red sol-x Lenses. Soo good for those bright days!

[@revdesigns]

Such an amazing video, I know it wasn't your intention but I think riders trying to learn spins could benefit from this as well. The edge to edge set up, head / shoulder turn and keeping the knees up are very pronounced in this vid. More so than a 3rd person view. This video probably gets me more stoked to ride than anything I've seen before!

[@TheSneakylemur]

I know your sponsored by session but wat pants are those? are they the new fall lineup? cause i cannnot find that color lol !its siccck

[@TimHumphreys]

@brentster86 I bought the motorsports hero. The only thing I'm using is 2 of the flexible mounting things as a little handle out the bottom to hold on to

[@TimHumphreys]

@KCAC73 mammoth should be fun when they get some snow! I'm about to cruise up there in a day or 2

[@TimHumphreys]

@padovann I'm kinda scared to try a frontside doublecork lol

[@numbsla]

this guy does it so effortlessly

[@TimHumphreys]

@SurfSkate26 You need to transfer all the footage because The H.264 codec .mp4 file the camera records in doesn't play very nice with video editors. You need MPEG Streamclip, or use Compressor if you have Final Cut. Transcode them to DVCPROHD720p60 or Apple Prores422 (NOT PRORES422 HD) If you're filming in mode R3 for 60 frames a second, you can use cinema tools which is part of the final cut pro suite to conform the shots and make them play at half speed.

[@mugsy201]

awesome video man!! i see you are rocking the new quantum, nice!! love that board!! just out of curiosity, which setting were you using on the gopro? go flow!!

[@TimHumphreys]

@AbcZackk I've seen a person or 2 with it on. It's definitely good if you dont think you can hang on to it. Even if I dropped it though, the camera weighs nothing and the housing is pretty strong. I would be really surprised if it breaks from dropping it. especially on snow.

[@uclashorty]

this is soo sick! i saw this when mammoth posted it a few weeks ago but i just saw it again on sportsnation on espn2! it was on their web video segment and they called you a "snowboarding star" and "snowboarding genius" hahaha.

[@jaycwc]

Hey Tim just want to know what brand your facemask is? Thanks a lot and great video by the way

[@8800WhiteOut0088]

best onboard vid i`ve ever seen! Go for it!

[@TimHumphreys]

@burnandnorvegia whaaattt?!?! sick dude! Stoked that ya like it. It's surprisingly waterproof. Looking at the materiel, you would think itll soak up water fast but it's 15k :D Enjoy the extra length for when you inevitably tumble through some snow and you don't get any down your pants or up your shirt! -Tim

[@TimHumphreys]

@Lift991 hmmm Frontside 3? What edge? let me know exactly, and I'll try and help you more. Stay crouched and low while your in the air. That will help you stay on top of your board. also when you throw it off the takeoff, you want to make a pretty straight set up turn into it. Too wide of a set up will make you loop out or be off balance. Pre-spinning before you get off the lip can throw you off balance too.

[@TimHumphreys]

@TheOlyboarder21 awww mannnn I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to windells in the winter. I'm always so busy running around with stuff. I was going to come back this summer for session 6 but my ankle is giving me trouble, so I'm going to have to sit this one out : /

[@TimHumphreys]

@alexgruber93 something that's medium-stiff, regular camber, and the right width. I'm like 5'8" and I usually ride a 155 when I hit big stuff. I usually used the Flow Quantum, but unless you have some meat on your bones, it will be hard to flex because it's pretty stiff. We have something new for next year that's a quantum but softer. It's gonna be called the "Shifty" or "SoCal" if you're in Japan

[@rodconnar]

wow dude best subscription ive ever made! keep sendin these vids son!

[@Godsoldier]

i love this video with this sick ass song it goes really good together home boy is sick with it

[@TimHumphreys]

@MrCoronado98 I'm running a Flow Era 55 right there because it was really slushy out and I was hitting some bigger park jumps! :D

[@TimHumphreys]

@Jertifa It's not too bad holding onto the camera.. It makes some tricks a little difficult, but it works on mostly everything

[@TimHumphreys]

@popshuvitskater yeah, we ride for the same board company lol. I was wondering if anyone was gonna pick up on that 1 :P

[@anio135]

Overlike ! U did a nice job with your camera and especially with your snowboard ! Big Up !

[@TimHumphreys]

@LlamaKing123456789 The red sol-x lens is for really bright sunny days. I wouldn't get those lenses if you are planning on night riding. For nights only, I would get a clear lens. For night and low light, I would go with the sensor lens. There isn't really any way of getting around needing 2 different lenses if you are riding during the day and the night

[@TimHumphreys]

@bauschnlomb1 I used mode R3 which is the 720p 60 fps mode! I batch transfer them all with compressor to either dvcprohd720p60 or apple prores, use cinema tools to conform the clips and then start working on em in final cut!

[@Dvald25]

got i wish i had this guy talent. its my dream to be able to do this

[@TimHumphreys]

@LilRobby88 R3 which is the 720p 60 fps mode! there's some good info on what to do with the clips on the GoPro site!

[@TimHumphreys]

@penguins1117 creek, windham, hunter.. for the goods though, you need to go up to VT or NH. Waterville valley, Killington, mt. snow..

[@iPOWNSCRUBS]

love the song
