Once again Silverton put on a hell of a show at the 4th annual Beating Amateur Film Festival. And the scene for The Beating was perfect. The Pride of the West in downtown Silverton is just shady enough to project some films on the wall. They hooked us up. Thanks guys.

After drinking a few Coors with the crowd someone pointed out that the mountains on the bottle look just like Silverton. Is that true?

So check out this little video wrap-up from the weekend. Meet the Director of Gnar, shred some pow and enjoy a heli ride to a sketchy chute called “Hero Sandwich.”

2009 Beating@ Silverton Wrap-Up

Here is a look at the winning video submitted by Ben Knight out of Telluride, CO. Ben took home a complimentary heli-drop, which speaking from experience is one of the best prizes ever for a contest. Take a look at his video, and be sure to check the event out next year:
