  • Teddybear Crisis

    Release date: Fall 2005

    Directed by: Henrik Rostrup, Kris Ostness, Howie Arnstad

    Skiers: Tanner Hall, Jon Olsson, Mike Wilson, Sage Cattabriga, Henrik Windstedt, Sammy Carlson, Simon Dumont, Brandon Becker, Niklas Karlström, Nico Zacek, TJ Schiller, Corey Vanular, John Symms, Laurent Favre, Jacob Wester, PK Hunder, Espen Linnerud, Jon Larsson, Sebastian Garhammer, Stian Hagen, Oscar Scherlin

    Legendary film maker Kris Ostness (Wind-Up Films/Flying Circus) has teamed up with new school film maker Henrik Rostrup (Push Films/Not Another Ski Movie) to form the company Teddybear Crisis. The crew revisits the classic Utah gaps that Ostness/Wind-Up Films pioneered years ago and discovers a few new ones on the way. Upper/Lower Flagstaff and Pyramid, all mandatory 90 foot spans, pale to Tanner Hall hitting 120 foot Chad’d5s Gap skiing backwards at 53mph and stomping a switch 900. The crew travels from unique backcountry features, super-sized park, kickers over half pipes, freeskiing in the Alps, Alaska and face shots in Utah. The intro was shot on 35mm film with a full rock video production crew in Oslo Norway, a just start for a ski film that is crawling out of the box with a new style and a fresh look at insane action. Filmed in Europe, Scandinavia, Utah, California, Alaska on 16mm and 35mm film.
