Freebord News

You have a little more than two weeks to get your subs in. Follow the directions below:

Freebord is now accepting submissions for the 2009 Pro Team. If you would like to be considered, you have until December 31, 2008 to submit.

Here’s how it works:

• Put together a 2 minute edited highlight reel that shows us what you got (make sure you highlight all aspects of your riding). We want your best raw riding clips sequenced together into a 2 minute max video. You can use clips we have already seen from this year or new footage.
• We will be looking 100% at the quality of your riding, not your editing - so your video should showcase your best riding clips. Period. This is not a concept video. You can add music if you want or keep the audio raw - your call - but no effects otherwise.
• For reference, check out this year’s rookie/rider nomination video: http://vimeo.com/2081877. This video is a little more polished than what we want from you, but the segments are in line with what we’re looking for.
• Upload your video to any video hosting site (Vimeo, Youtube, Dailymotion….) and email the link to kent@freebord.com.
  
• We will only accept one video per rider.
• All videos are due by December 31, 2008. No late submissions will be considered.

We will announce the 2009 team sometime in January. If we select you to the team, your team submission video will be the first video that we use for your team section on our website.

Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.

It’s back now, thanks for your patience folks. We’ll be continuing to perform some updates so please bear with us…

suuuuuper siiiiick

Congratulations Arnaud Blin for his video “Warning”!!

The judges loved your bomber style, kick ass riding, and amazing landscape of the crazy hills of Europe. See it one more time.

Coming in a very close second is Flo Bonin and “Just Play“…

Followed by Kill The Monkey a.k.a. Roberto Lopez for “Akest Any Si“.

Thank you to everyone who entered, our panel of judges, and all the riders  who put in countless hours of filming, editing and uploading. See you at the FRAs!!
