TLDR:

We’ll be producing a full length urban snowboard film, travelling to your not-so typical winter snow sports destinations. We’ll be displaying the more accessible side of snow sports that is street snowboarding. Following the snow from one city to another while unleashing our creativity upon the urban landscapes.

Description:

British Columbia based Professional Snowboarder, Kai Ujejski will be in front of the lens filming for his full part in the upcoming video project along with his production crew who has worked on a plethora of top of the line projects including filming X-Games Real Street video parts in addition to countless other professional grade creative endeavors. They will be travelling the world to find the cities with the best conditions for street riding to showcase their talents and creativity all while encouraging those who may not have access to big mountains or backcountry terrain to get out there and explore what their local terrain has to offer, empowering more people to get into winter sports who may have not thought to do so otherwise. We also want to continue to show the greater snowboard community how joining Alps and similar on-chain communities can empower athletes, artists and filmmakers alike to do what they love while producing A-grade content. We will be working with established filmers, editors and photographers throughout the season to ensure top tier production and will be hosting IRL video premieres of the final finished video in the Fall of 2025 before releasing it online via countless mainstream snowboard media outlets.

We will also be working with photographers and writers from major mainstream snowboard magazines such as King Snow and Snowboard Canada, having our content reach not only the digital side of the industry but the physical print side as well.

We’ve already locked in other sponsors for the project who will also be supporting the premieres, some of the included sponsors are (but not limited to) Dinosaurs Will Die Snowboards, Union Binding Co, Stance Socks, Timebomb Trading, Salmon Arms Gloves, Ashbury Eyewear and Grouse Mountain. We will also be doing live product giveaways at the premieres (thousands of dollars worth) which is always a great way to entice even more people to come out to the events.
