Episode notes
Why He Walked Away From Chasing Contests
- Brandon stopped chasing contests long-term once he checked the 'I can win' box and wanted to explore other aspects of snowboarding.
- He observed contests escalated in technicality while prize money and audience declined, making trade-offs less attractive.
Park Edits Offer High Footage ROI
- Brandon believes park edits are an efficient, high-return format because you can get many quality clips in a few chairlift laps.
- He notes the park-edit era faded after Superpark ended, shifting pro time toward backcountry and streets.
Quitting The Team To Film Beta Edits
- After quitting the US team Brandon pivoted into filming and linked with Pat Bridges and Snowboarder Magazine's Beta series for B-roll-style edits.
- The change gave him creative freedom to choose projects, film streets/backcountry, and escape the rigid contest schedule.
