METRO LEAGUE 2008
HIGHLIGHT VIDEO

Robin Cressy (Aloha/Southridge asst. coach) is finished editing the 2008 metro highlight video. (It only took me 43 hours to edit!)  It premiered on the big screen at the 2008 metro league awards night at Southridge High School on February 27.  If you want to pre-order a personalized DVD copy, details below.

The 40-minute 2008 Metro video includes highlights of the entire season from the Willamette Pass GS race on thru to the last metro race at Ski Bowl.  Witness some excellent ski racing, some exciting crashes, and classic interview sound-bites from dozens of different metro league racers.   Will every metro racer be in the highlight video?  Probably not.  But I did my best to show as many of you as I could, and there's plenty of footage of every team in the league.

2008 Highlights includes:
*the singing of the star spangled banner with a Bulgarian touch
*Mark Draghisescu's head-over-heals slalom wreck (wreck of the year!)
*the return to cooper spur!
*the battle to win metro
*and so much more!

METRO PERSONALIZED DVD'S:
Back by popular demand:  Metro racers can have their personal video runs added onto their DVD for an additional fee.    As I've been logging and editing the metro highlight video this year, I've kept track of EVERY racer that were recorded on video-tape all season long.  How did I do this?  I used the bib numbers and race orders to determine who each person was that I have on video tape, so I can assign a name to each racer wearing a bib.   So in doing so, I can sort thru the names alphabetically and determine how many runs I recorded of a particular individual.   How can you find out how many (if any) runs I recorded of YOU this year?  Email me and ask me. Just tell me your name and what school you go to, then I'll search thru my list and I'll let you know in a return email. (or try to figure out the spreadsheet at the bottom of this webpage)  **Some racers I have 3 or 4 runs on video from this season, while others I have 8 or more. OK?  Make sense?  Am I confusing anyone? Questions? Robincressy@q.com or call 503-760-0133 .  See you all 7PM, Wednesday night, February 28, 2008 at Southridge HS,  for the 2008 metro ski league awards!  Want your personal runs spliced together then posted on youtube.com? I can do that too.

I recorded 7 and a half hours of race day footage this 2008 metro season, but only 30 minutes of this raw footage makes it onto the metro highlight video.  So there's about 7 or so hours of race footage of 163 metro league racers that nobody has seen but me.  Just tell me your name and school, and I can tell you how many runs I recorded of YOU this season.  Then I can cue YOUR footage up and add it to YOUR personalized DVD.  Preserve your high school ski team memories forever with a DVD copy of YOUR ski race runs from the 2008 metro ski race season.

Testimonials:
Hi Robin,
Your Metro video is totally awesome.  We loved it at the Awards Ceremony and have to have our own copy.  Thank you so much for the wonderful perspective you give the sport, and professional presentation.  (I really like how you fade one skier into another in the same part of the course, same body position...that is really cool!)  Of course, we want all the extras you have of Lito. 
....Jane Nicolai (parent), OES ski team

I would love to order a video for Connor Cahill from Jesuit with as many runs on it that you may have. You continue to be great as we can all see. We cannot wait to see tomorrow night and what a tear jerker that Evan Wood Memorial video was...almost too much for me! ....Jennifer Cahill (parent), Jesuit ski team

I loved the 2 clips on your website.  Great job.  Tonight will be fun to see the whole thing. We’d like to order the dvd and a trailer of Michael Payne’s runs if you have some of him.  Thank you. Mary Lynn Payne (parent) Jesuit ski team
