The third installment of the Gastof Zillertal’s video comp has come to a close and the top 3 movies of Shoot Your Friends announced. Check them out

Here’s what Jan from the Gastof had to say: “3 years ago, Jim Healy (Gasthof-Zillertal Bar Manager at the time) and myself (Gasthof-Zillertal General Manager) sat down and came up with the idea to organize this competition. Wanting to show the world the life and lifestyle of a snowboarder during the winter season, we molded the idea into a competition over a 6 week period. To make things even more interesting weekly assignments were made up that had to be included. Some assignments were riding related, some were lifestyle related and some were just straight up funny. And that’s exactly what they wanted to see, the humour and creativity of snowboarding!

“The 6 week during Shoot Your Friends video competition has come to an end. It has been a fun and eventful. We have put our contestants trough alot of weird things for them to show us, from kissing 40plus year olds to waist deep forest powder. While they where out doing their homework we were racking up a giant prize pile for them to take home after our premiere night at the Gasthof Zillertal.”

And the winner is. Drumroll…

First Place

The Sundance Kids

“Well deserved with succeeding in pretty much every thing that we had to throw at them.”

Second Place

Papoea’s

“Strong edit with strong riding, unfortunately didn’t cope with succeeding in completing all the challenges.”

Third Place

M.A.C.K.N.

“The most funny edit for sure, Swedish meatball crazyness. Creative riding and filming.”

All of us from the Gasthof Zillertal are very proud of the outcome, and are looking forward on planning next year’s edition.

Special thanks to all our sponsors for making this happen.

For the third year running, The Gasthof Zillertal are running the Shoot Your Friends Video Competition – a video competition for all the riders in the Zillertal Valley. A competition to show an insider’s look of the life of a snowboarder: the riding, the partying, the drama and the good life. Over a period of 6 weeks, a team of 4 friends will go out and capture their life, with weekly assignments given by the Gasthof-Zillertal to spice things up.

3 years ago, Jim Healy (Gasthof-Zillertal Bar Manager at the time) and Jan Glas (Gasthof-Zillertal General Manager) sat down and came up with the idea to organize this competition. Wanting to show the world the life and lifestyle of a snowboarder during the winter season, they molded the idea into a competition over a 6 week period. To make things even more interesting weekly assignments were made up that had to be included. Some assignments were riding related, some were lifestyle related and some were just straight up funny. And that’s exactly what they wanted to see, the humour and creativity of snowboarding !

Week 2 Assignment – Hug some trees!

We got some powder coming in this week so we’re looking for the gnarliest/longest tree runs the valley has to offer. Get your whole team involved in this one! Be on the look out for pillows, bonks & more faceshots than Alexis Texas.

Bonus assignment for the first week: The Spy Who Loved Me.

Re-create the Epic chase from 007. Pick your Hero and grab your villians, tear up the mountain in true Bond style. Keep it safe and in the trees! Unlike Bond you won’t survive mother natures rage!

The following 3 assignments can be shot over the 6 week time.

- Build your own mountain transport:
Raid your apartment, steal your mom’s ironing board, raid the bins in the hood Build it, Strap it and Ride it.

- Build your own jib:
Think pole jams, garden parks, step up jumps, back country booters, road gaps, get your shovels out and go for it there’s plenty of snow.

- Take your team on a road trip, show us your favourite slopes in
another area of the Zillertal.
