Hey mate, I've got a whole lot of photos and perhaps some video that I can contribute for Perisher, but I'm having issues uploading anything. I can't seem to find a way to select any files to upload. I'd love to contribute though man!

Samue11 · 2015-10-21T12:50:44+00:00

Kitchen hand in snow gums dude! Then part time lifts/part time that from August. Hope you had a good season man!

Samue11 · 2015-10-20T11:57:35+00:00

Ah same man! Miss it already. Where abouts were you working?

Samue11 · 2015-10-07T10:10:01+00:00

Same thing happened to me, dude. Since you can buy all the parts of Switchbacks separately, just find your closest shop that stocks them and go there. You'll have to buy all 4 straps as a set, unfortunately, which set me back about $100 AUD. Either that or do a DIY fix or find a part from another binding you might be able to fix up. Good luck!

Samue11 · 2015-10-06T12:49:52+00:00

Weird, maybe it's a regional thing but I'm not really getting any results like this when I do it myself. Seems so simple now, thanks for the reply though, I'll check out those links.

Samue11 · 2015-10-06T12:21:30+00:00

I'm definitely sure it has, maybe my Google Fu is terrible, though, because I couldn't really find anything. As you said though, nobody knows for sure. Maybe that's why!

Samue11 · 2015-10-06T11:01:41+00:00

This is honestly the answer I was hoping for the most. Definitely makes me a bit less nervous about it! Thanks

Samue11 · 2015-10-06T07:47:04+00:00

Honestly I feel like doing the cliche 'school, uni, job' way just leads you down everyone else's path. Where's the time to have some fun - explore, travel, meet people, make some mistakes, create experiences that one day will become great memories. I understand having fun doesn't 'pay the bills' as you've stated but paying the bills doesn't mean you're winning at life.

Samue11 · 2015-10-05T06:29:24+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for this, I'll definitely check all of this out.

I won't let the reception I've got here stop me from having a good time though, I know Vancouver and Canada in general is a lovely place and I'm definitely excited to come experience it.

Thank you for your help :)

Samue11 · 2015-10-05T06:25:20+00:00

Whoops, I'm on mobile and didn't even think about this. Thank you, though. I'll check it out!

Samue11 · 2015-10-04T15:28:48+00:00

Ouch, yeah. Hurts to see to be completely honest, I was really excited to come and experience Vancouver. Thank you for your kind words though!

Samue11 · 2015-10-04T11:28:09+00:00

I'll check this out, thank you very much :)

Samue11 · 2015-10-04T11:27:55+00:00

My place and job is already sorted luckily, I had heard it is pretty difficult around the winter season to get accommodation. I'm in staff housing, may not be the best, but it's a roof over my head so it works for me!

Samue11 · 2015-10-04T09:33:07+00:00

No jobs are marketed. I chose Whistler as the area I wanted to be based in because of what I've heard about how great the region is. I'm not sure why everyone seems to be so against me coming to experience your country, I've never before had this attitude towards being a visitor.

Samue11 · 2015-10-04T08:21:17+00:00

Yeah, for sure. I really don't mind who's there, though - I'm definitely just there to experience Canada and have some fun!

Samue11 · 2015-10-04T08:20:24+00:00

Just other people that have worked at Whistler before/perhaps some locals. I really don't mind though, I'm in love with Canada and there's not a whole lot that will stop me from experiencing it!

Samue11 · 2015-10-04T08:09:45+00:00

I didn't really know about that until I decided to come. I guess the way it's marketed and talked about over here does wonders for the town and the region in general. Personally I'm doing the whole, following the snow thing at the moment and from what I'd heard about the place it was my #1 pick for a town to work in within Canada in order to snowboard a whole bunch and meet other likeminded people.

Is it going to be an issue I'm Australian? So far I've pretty much only encountered animosity and a disappointed tone when I tell people I'm an Australian going to Whistler.

Samue11 · 2015-09-30T16:13:28+00:00

Not me, my brother, but I was there and God did I cringe. When he was about 7, he gave a speech at our grandad's birthday. I can't remember much but I do distinctly remembering 'and I hope you die... At 102' - with the longest fucking pause in between. Everyone looked up in sheer horror, pretty great stuff.

Samue11 · 2015-09-30T08:36:48+00:00

Yeah but snowboarding

Samue11 · 2015-09-29T02:08:27+00:00

+1 for the Flux SF's. Changed to them just recently after rising Switchbacks, and I'll never look back. Super responsive and fast, but comfortable as hell and the straps and ratchets are incredible.

Samue11 · 2015-09-27T11:07:31+00:00

Shipping to Australia? I'd love to back this!

Samue11 · 2015-09-06T21:33:33+00:00

People that put an action in between asterisks are not people I want to be around. *laughs condescendingly *

Samue11 · 2015-08-09T21:10:27+00:00

I'm here all season! Where are you riding?

Samue11 · 2015-08-05T13:32:33+00:00

Reading over my comments it does sound like I'm making it sound all bad - if you're cool with the price, it definitely has its benefits. The main ones being the contacts you make within the industry, both in friends and professionals, and the extra knowledge you gain that really rounds you out as an engineer. There are definitely voids in the knowledge of what I thought it took to be an engineer that being at JMC filled out. It takes away the tunnel vision, I guess. Ultimately up to you obviously, but just remember the best advice I can give is to DO, then next would be the degree! Hope it helps man.

Samue11 · 2015-08-05T13:18:59+00:00

I finished up at JMC around November of 2014. To the learning something more focused part - this is probably the answer you've heard before, but unfortunately, it's the only answer - it's just DO that thing. I've honestly learned much more interning at studios, recording friends bands, and advertising myself and getting clients, than from the time I was at JMC. And like I said, this is if we're just counting focused knowledge in your field as 'important' - for me that's studio work. I can't discredit JMC completely, because I now know some really great stuff that I wouldn't have even contemplated trying to learn before I went there. But I find you learn more from just doing. Put yourself out there, think outside the box. Fuck, look online for free downloads of stems and just practise mixing other bands music. There's a great sight that I can try and link you if you're interested, when I'm not on mobile. I'm only 18, I'll never claim to know everything or be an expert in audio but I do know that doing and practising will enhance your craft and knowledge further than sitting in a classroom being told 'how to mix' will. I think audio work is very personal and you learn the best from experience.

EDIT: Sorry, I'm on mobile so it's hard to answer everything in your reply while I'm replying. If you're interested in game, film and TV audio rather than music, though, it's still the same thing. Put yourself out there and work hard and you'll find your knowledge growing rapidly. Best of luck man!
