In
a
world
of
video,
words
don’t
get
much
respect.
Take
piracy
for
example.
If
Snowboarder
posted
the
complete
version
of
either
of
Videograss’s
new
movies,
Shoot
The
Moon
or
Retrospect,
they’d
get
real
pissed.
On
the
other
hand
if
I
typed
a
long-winded
account
of
both
movies
in
review
form
they’d
be
stoked.
Therefore
there
seems
to
be
a
bit
of
inequality
going
on
and
it
amounts
to
a
backhanded
dismissal
of
the
whole
writing
profession.
If
we
posted
a
statement
like
“Jake
Olsen
Elm’s
Helen
Keller
andrecht
transfer
on
the
rainbow
bridge
rail
received
the
most
cheers
of
any
trick
shown
Friday
night
during
the
VG
premier
at
Portland’s
Bagdad
Theater”
Jake
would
get
stoked
and
so
would
Justin
Meyer
who
was
the
auteur
behind
Shoot
The
Moon.
Yet
if
we
just
ripped
a
copy
of
that
clip
and
posted
a
.mov
file
of
it
here
we’d
be
scorned
by
the
whole
Videograss
crew.
I
can
relate
though.
In
1998
a
photographer
from
Tahoe
sold
an
interview
I
did
with
Mike
Michalchuck
under
his
own
name
to
a
French
magazine
but
I’m
not
bitter,
as
they
say
C’est
La
Vie.
