Cleaning time.

Hi

I just saw this video from Black Diamond.

It´s from the Clean-up project in Fontainebleau during Easter 2013.

Chasin’ the Rubbish 2.0 in Fontainebleau, France from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo.

I´m glad that our family could be a part of this project, beacause this is a great way to show some respect, and bring awareness to the fact that we should be careful about our environment. My girlfriend Rikke, make a very short appearance in this flim at 2:15 :-)

The people that make this Clean-up project happen are a whole bunch of cool guys, and I love the fact that you get to see them taking part and you would see living legends like Fred Nicole and Nalle going around the parking lot in Isatis, pickín´ up garabage, while our friend Neil (Hart) is filming everything that´s going on. The thing about them not being too cool and arrogant is so nice to see, like I mentioned in earlier post here on Schim Productions, I had several of pleasant conversation with Nalle. You would talk to him like he was a buddy of your own and show no signs of being bored talking to an averaged climber like myself, while he would kill a 8B Fontainebleau boulderproblem within 15 minutes time, now that´s cool and a very good role model for the sport in my book!

It´s so very different from the surfscene , at least how I have experienced it of the years that I´ve been surfing. The surf pro´s (and the ones that are better then yourself) seems to me, that they so much attitude and that makes it not to much fun to be around people like that, but that´s another story…

Allright, that´s it for tonight folks.

Ciao

P.s. It seems like we got ourself a gite at Neil´s place in Fontainebleau in september, more about that later on :-)

Ivö Bouldering video

The first ascents from Ivö, easter 2011, have now made it to my Vimeo as well.

Summer 2011, Annot

Back in june/july of 2011, we were in sunny and hot Annot, in southern France.

Rikke was pregnant at the time, but we still went climbing almost everyday for the full month we were there. Some mornings, would we go for a run in the mountains, before heading back to our apartment that we had rented for the month. We would buy bread and Croissants at our little local bakery, just 1 min away from our apartment.

We would be spending our days in the forest, bouldering together with our french and danish friends.

Dina, Rasmus and little Vega, were on a few months climbing roadtrip around Europe this summer, so got to hang out with them for several of weeks in Annot, great fun :-)

 

With all this good climbing, good friends around, beautiful weather and a little baby girl (Alva) on the way, you could easily say that this was one of the best summers I´ve ever had :-)

 

The Annot video have also found its way to my Vimeo

Soon…California and Nevada movie.

I hope that I can get some time soon, to go through 4-5 hours of footage from 2011´s roadtrip in California and Nevada. On this trip we got to spend about 14 days bouldering in Red Rocks.

It also includes visiting Peter and Louise in Los Angeles and in South Lake Tahoe, we spent a couple of days with Rikke´s good old friend, Corey Rich (www.coreyrich.com), his lovely wife Marina Rich and their dog Preta.

Corey hooked me up with a free skipass at Heavenly, so there´s a little bit of snowboarding on these films as well, not much though.

I didn´t expect to be snowboarding fresh powder, almost 40 cm of it as well, on this family/climbing trip to the US,  but since we where hit by a late snowstorm it all worked out great :-)

My plan is to make two videos out of this, because there´s a fair bit which more on the family subject, since this was our first longer trip with our daughter, Alva, (by that time 6 months old). So one film for the family, and one for the climbing world :-)

Plus last year´s FontaineBleau video.

I still got a few more videos that I want to add to Vimeo, but my internet keeps on kicking me off, so therefore it might take some time before all my videos are up. I so wish that my internet was a bit more stabil and faster, but what can you do?

Adding more videos to Vimeo

I´m trying to get all of my movies that I´ve made in the past, up on my new account on Vimeo.

 

So far,I got 4 movies on Vimeo. I would have had more by this time, but our internet doesn´t have the fastest uploading speed though.

I have made to channels on my vimeo, one is “bouldering” and the other is “snowboarding”.

Here´s the first, and only one so far, on channel “snowboarding”

He still got it from Schim Productions on Vimeo.

Vimeo, from now on.

Hi there

This evening a got myself a channel on Vimeo.
So from now on, my movies will be uploaded to Vimeo, instead of Youtube.
The reason for me to switching over to Vimeo are that I find Vimeo be cleaner and have the benefit of no stupid ads popping up all the time.

You can find my Vimeo uploads on this link:

Vimeo URL: http://vimeo.com/schimproductions

 

And here´s what the video looks like in Vimeo

 

Cloud Nine from Schim Productions on Vimeo.

Cloud Nine

I finally finished up cutting my latest movie, “Cloud Nine”

 

It contains some 6´s and 7´s from our trip to Fontainebleau this easter 2013.

It doesn´t have all the hard ascents that you might see in other climbing movies, but I think it shows some of the beautiful things there´s to climb in fantastic Fontainebleau.

I hope that you´ll enjoy watching it, and that it will give some some insperation for a trip to bleau :-)

Catch you guys later.

Fontainebleau,Easter 2013 Teaser

Hi

We got back to Tbilisi 3 days ago, after spending 15 great days in a pretty cold, but dry Fontainebleau.

It was great to be back in the forest again. We got the chance to climb with a lot of our good Danish friends, and all of them with kids, which was awesome for Alva :-)

Thank you Katrine, Jens, Oskar, Signe,Martin with kids, all the rest of you guys as well, for some fun times in fontainebleau :-)

Pascal, our French friend, who lives in Paris, came and joined us a few days as well, always so much to meet up and climb with him.

We bumped into Neil too. He was out filming for his upcoming movie/TV project. Along with him was Nalle,who was in the forest to help out with the Black Diamond clean-up event, and also to send some off his projects. I got to talk to him a few times on this trip, and I got to tell you that he seems like a very humble and great guy. I love it when you can be a pro climber and still have time to talk to a beginner like me :-). It was the same last time in september, when we got to climb with/next to Kilian Fischhuber and Anna Störh for almost a full day, also very friendly people, with a good vibe to both of them.

I can´t wait to go back. I hope that we maybe can get a week in september and then a full month next april/may, in this beautiful bouldering playground :-)

 

Here´s the trailer

 

The longer movie, will be here on www.schimproductions.com, as well as on my youtube channel.

Stay tuned.
