    Poor Boyz Productions declares “WAR” with the ski world in a battle to produce the best ski film for the 2005 season. Poor Boyz issued footage reveals the record size 37′ air on the largest hip ever built, a record height 23.5′ tree jib, unmatched urban rail assaults, avalanche-triggering big mountain lines, and of course the untouched back country skiing that Poor Boyz has been supplying for over a decade. WAR is the year’s best ammunition, see it to believe it.

  • YEAH DUDE

    Release date: Fall 2007

    Produced by: Poor Boyz Productions

    Directed by: Johnny Decesare

    Skiers: Sammy Carlson, Andreas Hatveit, JP Auclair, Julien Regnier, Chris Benchetler, John Symms, Tim Durtschi, Peter Olenick, Simon Dumont, Anthony Boronowski, Mike Henitiuk, John Spriggs, Craig Coker, Christian Sirianni, Kyler Cooley, JF Cusson, Fabien Maicrhofer

    If your’re a Poor Boyz fan, you’ve probably noticed PBP’s movies follow a formula: The worlds best riders + sick locations + sick action – filler = the best ski movie of the year. PBP’s 2007 release Yeah Dude follows the Poor Boyz tradition of scintillating action, sending crews to all points of the globe to capture the year’s best skiing. But when it came time to assemblethe pieces, PBP started expanding its repertoire. Once the snow melted, many of Yeah Dude’s athletes and crew members visited the Poor Boyz studios to give candid accounts of their seasons. The result is a much more intimate portrait of the Poor Boyz crew than you’re used to, but without any consequent lulls in the action. Yeah Dude gives you all the skiing action you expect from PBP. But Yeah Dude is unlike any ski movie you’ve seen before.

  • 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.

    If you didn’t get enough from Burger Time… then you will need to check out the highly anticipated 2nd production from Mercon Industries that was a 2 year project. Back at it with more insane carnage and up close broken bones, blood, shit and puke we took it to another level once again when we teamed up with magical creatures like Falcor from The Never Ending Story and drank 40oz with him! We also got to see Greg Tuffelmyer as he lurked though the windows of his gilrfriends pillow fights! I mean shit, who doesn’t like boobs right! So enjoy The Guatemalan Persuader with once again some of the best skiing, drinking, shitting, puking, snowmobiling and whatever else happened. This movie is just pure awesomeness!!! Shit just doesn’t happen like this anymore! If it did, no one would be sponsored because big companies are pussies and scared to let there athletes be there own person! Fuck all that shit, have fun, shred and ski with your friends! Because it could all be gone tomorrow as we all know! who knows… there might be a 3rd movie in the works!
