Rip Curl’s Gum Movie – The Whole Shebang

Uli Köhler — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:02:38 +0000

Rip Curl gives us all an early Xmas present: The Full Gum Movie. How considerate.

This early season is starting not too bad: our European mountains start to be covered with fresh snow, last week-end 2 of our riders made a 5*TTR podium in Stuttgart! (Elias Elhardt won and Victor De Le Rue got 2nd) and Lucile Lefèvre, our young Frenchie rider, won the Halfpipe World Cup in Ruka!!

But last season, there was no snow in Europe, and that was just a good reason for our riders to start to live the search and discover new spots. From Argentina to Japan, the only thing they had in mind was powder!!!

This movie deals with their moves all around the world, and we’re happy to share this epic snowboard adventure as a special Xmas present!!

Riders :Victor Delerue,Nils Arvidsson, JF Fortin ,Janne Lipsanen,Elias Elhardt,Nate Johnstone,Victor Daviet,Mati Radaelli,Dani Sastre,Nico Fuentes,Wiley Tesseo,Martin Seiler,Urska Pribosic

Rip Curl’s GUM Movie – Final Part

For the final installment of their team flick, the Rip Curl boys hit up the BC pow with JF Fortin acting as guide for Nils, Nate and Wiley. They also brought along a Matrix-style bullet time camera along for the ride, and the results were pretty tasty.

Here’s what they said:

“We used TimeSlice to film some Matrix effects, that was the best way to show the vast improvement in the outerwear range, and it looks unreal! The set up included 30 cameras placed on a cat track, it was such a mission to organise everything with the cold and the wind, we had a lot of technical problems. The TimeSlice crew had a case for the 30 cams, really heavy…we had to find spots next to the cat track and it wasn’t easy at all. It took ages to set up everything at the spots, sometimes 2 days and, for sure a few tries to perfect the landing…but the result was awesome! It was worth it!”
