Filming for 'Joy' was a great experience, working with an awesome crew, including Sage Kotsenburg and Tyler Orton. We encountered challenges like building the ravine gap in Jackson, but it was a rewarding process. Some of my favorite clips from the movie include the double crippler on the natural quarter pipe, the front 10 over the ravine gap, and the carves on the face. It was a fun and memorable time, and I learned a lot from the crew.
I used to compete and film at the same time, and it was a great experience. I would snowboard a lot, riding parks and halfpipes for competitions, and then film whenever I had the chance. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed it and learned a lot. I had the energy and motivation to do both, and it worked out well. It was a great way to showcase my skills in different settings and push myself in different ways.
One of my favorite runs at Mt. Bachelor is on Skyliner, where you can find some sneaky runs with multiple hits and natural features along the way. There's also a classic run that starts with Gilligan's and offers a variety of hits. Mt. Bachelor has so many great options, but those are some of my top choices.
There were a few standout moments in my filming career, including the dub creepy on a natural quarter pipe, the front 10 over the ravine gap, and the carves on the face. These were memorable because they allowed me to showcase my skills and creativity in different environments. It was a combination of halfpipe skills translating into the backcountry, and finding unique lines and features to push my riding to new levels.
Balancing a two-year film project like Fleeting Time while also juggling other commitments such as the Natural Selection Tour, family, and personal life requires good time management, prioritization, and the ability to remain focused and motivated. Being the lead motivator and glue that keeps the project together involves effectively coordinating with the team, maintaining a positive and collaborative mindset, and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to shine.
Ben was unable to participate in the Natural Selection Tour and the duels at Bald Face due to various reasons. While some circumstances, such as injury afflictions and the laws of physics (referencing Tomahawk incident), may have influenced these absences, the specific details are not mentioned in the question.
