Yesterday’s release: Mats Hofgaard’s part (and the slams).

A mere four days after the second teaser the Norwegian production crew Process Films just dropped the third teaser for their highly, highly anticipated snowboard double-movie-feature A Shot in the Dark. Trust us, this will make you want to see the films even more.

PROCESS FILMS – A SHOT IN THE DARK – TEASER 3

What´s it like to ride big kickers?
In Teaser 3, Norwegian DC team rider, Mats Hofgaard shares what goes through his mind.

Teaser 3 is the 3rd of 3 teasers released by Process Films for its current 2 year film project. Following some of Norway´s most progressive snowboarders, A Shot in the Dark will be split into two separate films. The first is a trick film while the second follows a documentary format.

Progression in snowboarding has been moving at an alarming rate over the last few years. A Shot in the Dark takes a look at the various channels of pressure riders face, and the harsh reality of injuries.

The films will be distributed internationally by major snowboard publications near the end of 2011.

Filmed in Norway, New Zealand, Switzerland, Austria, France and America.
Fredrik Austbø, Petter Kristiansen, Tore Holvik, Torgeir Berre, Ulrik Badertscher, Aleksander Oestreng, Mats Hofgaard, Roger Kleivdal, Joacim Nyhaugen, Mikkel Bang, Pål Sørensen, Torjus Thomassen and Sondre Tiller

We accompanied them on a shoot in Norway earlier this year, and the dedication, spirit, and their riding skills are astonishing. We were expecting much after seeing their first teaser in November but this one blew us out of the water. It almost feels like a Lord of the Rings of snowboard movies. Best of all: A little later this season A Shot in the Dark will come for free with yours truly Onboard Magazine!

Here’s the official description:

As part of growth in the European Market, Dragon has announced the signing of three snowboarders to its Pan-European Team.

Tore Holvik, Gerome Mathieu and Luka Jeromel make-up the Pan Euro team bringing a range of skills and backgrounds to Dragon’s squad of athlete’s including Gigi Ruf, Danny Davis, Wolle Nyvelt, Luke Mitrani and Lucas Debari.

Coming out of Norway, Tore is consistently ranking highly in TTR events and took home first place at the recent Sweet Rumble event in Norway and is working with Process films.

French Pyrenees legend, Gerome Mathieu has risen to the top of the Euro snowboard scene over the past couple of years. With a banger part in the Pirate’s movie, Hooked, pro models with both Apo and Deeluxe and being part of the Nike 6.0 Euro team, Gerome has cemented his place as one of the top French riders. Gerome’s season got off to a great start with a first place finish at the Modena 4 star TTR “Stomp It” event in Italy.

Luka Jeromel is the youngest of our athletes. At just 19 years old, this Slovenian shredder is already on the Forum Youngblood team and is quickly being recognised by the media as a new rising talent within snowboarding. Luka is a versatile rider who shreds urban rails, back country kickers and everything in between. He recently won the first stop of the Peanut Butter Rail Jam in Laax, beating 70 other young shreds.

Process Films are a new film crew out of Norway that look to be promising big things. These guys were criss-crossing the globe last winter with a selection of über-talented Scandies like Tore Holvik, Joacim Nyhaugen, Sindre Iversen, Mats Hofgaard, Torgeir Bergir and many more. For those bummed at the shutting up shop of Factor Films, Process looks to be continuing the tradition of opening the world’s eyes to the staggering pool of talent in the Scandinavian countries. Check out their haps on the Process Films site.

They’ve just dropped a tight edit of their take on this year’s Arctic Challenge, featuring some of their homies and other hammer droppers getting wicked on TAC’s epic slopestyle course. Check it out.

Sad but true…

The Norwegian film crew headed up by Petter Foshaug has called time on its snowboard moviemaking days.

For the last few years these guys have been responsible for giving us a first glimpse of the staggering talent pool that’s been spreading through Scandinavia, and amongst others has helped introduce us to the likes of Torstein Horgmo, the Helgason brothers and Ulrik Badertscher. As a nice epitaph, Petter’s banged together this short edit of but some of the hammers, good times, slams and carnage from the likes of Notes, Up In The Sky and last winter’s epic, They Came From. You can watch the whole of They Came From here on the Onboard site.
