The photos and video's have been submitted and we wait the announcement of the 2010 TWS Team Shoot Out winner.

Shoot Out Contest Breakdown

The contest goes down in a two-week window: seven days of build time and seven days of ride time.

Each team is provided with a maximum of 210 groomer labor hours and 240 hand crew labor hours by the host resort.

Each team consists of five riders (including one girl). If the team doesn’t include a female, they can only have four riders.

Rider substitutions can only be made if a team member is injured.

One photographer is assigned to shoot each team for the event.

Each team can use a maximum of two filmers to shoot video.

Each team must create a four-minute final video and submit a gallery of six photos for judging.

Judging is broken into the event’s three main components: video, photos, and overall creativity.

The winning team is awarded the September cover.

The Team Shoot Out winner is determined by adding the judging scores of all the contest criteria for the highest possible points total.

Rome Shootout Teaser


Here is the teaser to our Transworld Team Shootout video. Our team included LNP, Marie France Roy, Bjorn Leines, Will Lavigne and Eiki Helgason. I shot the photos, while John Cavan filmed and edited the video. Art Direction by Mike Paddock. We shot all this during 7 cold nights in April at Bear Mountain in California. A normal day during this shoot consisted of...

  • 1pm wake up.
  • 4pm drive to the hill and shuttle our camera gear up on snowcats.
  • 5pm riders test out the feature for that night and the park crew dials in the changes needed.
  • 10pm riders start hitting the features and I am almost set up.
  • 12am start shooting.
  • 4am we have the shots in the bag.
  • 5am cook frozen pizza back at the house and mac off. (the act of emailing, facebooking and ichating on a mac book)
  • 6am bed time.

The full video will be available on iTunes exclusively on July 27th. (not in available in Canada or Europe)
