You get some pretty funny videos!
I would embed these but they are QuickTime, not flash.
You’ll just have to check out "The Storm Chasers" blog yourself.
Mark from the Nokia Blog asked them a few questions:
When I asked how the partnership between Nokia and the Storm Chasers started, one of the chasers, Max Jenke, replied that a few years ago Endeavor Snowboards produced some limited edition Nokia N Gage snowboards for the team. From then on, other product placement was done.
the industry marketing manager emailed me. he wanted to use a local company to help him make some promotional stuff. we had creative control on the project – they just wanted some great looking product. most of the guys in the company snowboard, so i think they were really stoked
I know it’s hard to capture footage while snowboarding, but with the Nokia N93, it makes it easier because of its size. I tried taking a video of my ski trip last month, but I took it slow. It’s going to be interesting to watch professional snowboarders do what they’re good at.
our guys definitely put them to the test. we’ve crashed two so far the auto zoom gets stuck…must be some sort of glitch in the software! but these have definitely held up more than the N90s that we had last year
Max says that the team are expecting to get the Nokia N93i and the Nokia N95 very soon. I can’t wait to see them use it action.
Wicked stuff. I don’t do any of those extreme sports. I used to mountain bike, but now I just lift weights.
