Staying Current: Taking Home Best Video Edit at Kirkwood Rider Awards

​

We had the privilege of creating a video edit for the Kirkwood Rider Awards, highlighting personal stories that capture the spirit of snowboarding at Kirkwood. Our piece focused on Solomon Atherton, our own team leader, as he shared moments from his time on the slopes and the joy of passing his love of snowboarding down to his daughter.

As one of the winners of #KirkwoodDeep Stories of the Season, powered by Toyota USA, Solomon’s story resonates deeply with anyone who feels a strong connection to the mountains. The edit we created blends cinematic snowboarding footage, heartfelt narrative, and family moments, capturing exactly why Kirkwood feels like home to him.

Through careful pacing, music, and visual storytelling, we crafted a video that celebrates both the sport of snowboarding and the personal, emotional connection athletes have to the mountains they ride. By combining action shots with intimate family moments, we created a narrative that is both visually striking and emotionally engaging, perfectly representing the spirit of the Kirkwood Rider Awards.

At Current Wave Media, projects like this allow us to merge storytelling, cinematic technique, and personal perspective. Highlighting Solomon’s journey and the meaning behind his experience at Kirkwood gave the project heart, creating a piece that celebrates legacy, passion, and connection to the sport.
