It’s ok, I’m an addict too…

People who visit Tahoe South to ski and snowboard just can’t seem to get enough of it. That’s ok; not all addictions are unhealthy. First Tracks Productions came up with the premise and produced the intro for Tahoe South’s new “Get Your Fix” video. We then mixed in some really strong and fun skiing and snowboarding footage that we shot all around the South Shore to give people a taste of what they can experience during winter in Tahoe South.

See you at the next meeting:

First Tracks, kicking off the Tahoe Adventure Film Festival…

If you’re anywhere near Tahoe that night, check it out – you won’t be disappointed.

Alexis Roland – Still Charging at the Advanced Age of 12

It seems like Alexis Roland has to be older. Not only has she been on the scene and turning heads in contests and video parts for years, but she’s doing stuff that older riders just aren’t doing yet. Hiking for powder? Check. Hitting street rails? Check. Tech tricks in the park? Check.

First Tracks Productions only filmed a few days with Lexi this season, but that’s all it takes with her to make a really fun video. Check it out:

Tour de Tahoe – 72 Beautiful Miles On Skinny Tires

The Tour de Tahoe gives riders a great opportunity to do an amazing ride and many do it for an amazing cause. A lot of the riders were raising money to benefit Juvenile Diabetes Research. Even if you’re not in to road cycling, check this out for the gorgeous views…or, at least for the spandex.

Michael Jordan, Bobcat Kittens and Red Rover…all in one video

If you’re not familiar with the American Century Championship, it’s a celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood in Tahoe South. Stars from the big screen to the NBA, NFL and MLB turn out for this unique event. But even if you know about it, you may not know about the great charities that benefit from this tournament.

First Tracks Productions was brought in to help get the word out about these charities and their good work. This video was shown at a kick-off event at Edgewood and will air on NBCSPORTS.com as well.

 

 

1188 Riders. A World Record. Good Times…

On May 17th, The Slow Rollers of South Lake Tahoe put together an amazing event – a single-file bicycle parade with the goal of breaking a Guinness World Record. The previous record was 916 riders in Davis, CA. Well, we shattered that – and had a great time doing it! Check out the fun…

2 First Tracks videos getting some love…

The pride we get from doing a good job and knowing we did a good job is all well and good. But at the same time, it’s a cool feeling when our work is recognized by our peers. Our egos need some love too. So, we’re pretty stoked that 2 videos that First Tracks recently produced have received some really positive recognition:

In February, First Tracks produced a video on the opening of the Burton-Star Wars park at Sierra-at-Tahoe — an amazing experience that introuduces little ones to the sport of snowboarding in a fun and unique fashion. Ski Area Management, an industry/trade magazine, highlighted this video (one of only 4 videos they recognized positively) and labeled it the “Heartwarming Video of the Year.” You can see the video here:

Also in February, First Tracks produced a video to help get some attention for a great non-profit, SkiDUCK. The video — a parody of the song “I’ve Been Everywhere” changed to “I’ve Skied Everywhere” — will be showcased at the National Ski Area Association’s annual conference in San Antonio this month. Not going to make it to the conference? No worries.You can see the video here:
