Perspectives #9 highlights Dendrite Studios’ trip to the original cat skiing operation on the planet: Selkirk Wilderness Skiing.

Racing Cinema
Posted to Blog, Videos by Jake Thompson on Mar.19, 2010
This is why I love youtube (and vimeo). In the last couple years it has become a place for top quality content, and big companies are spending legitimate dollars to put cool films on the web.

Thought I would post up a quick little video from TDI Cup driver selection last month. This montage is from the autocross track, where we were each asked to pilot a 2010 Golf TDI, through a tight track made up of cones. The deal with autocross is that you are out there on your own, and the goal is to ...read more
