LES
FILMS We have this buddy, his name is Dean... (That's
him to the left there, showing off on his sweet new
Ellsworth Moment) He works
for Mercedes in Vancouver right now but what he really should be doing for a living
is editing movies (this is completely assumptive on my part but let's just roll with that for now). We take these little snippets of video
with our little Sony cameras when we go on rides or trips... and
what Dean started doing is weave together these inane clips into
fascinating little videos (complete with music) that we're
quite fond of. Some of us have followed his lead in emulating his
work with various levels of both success and mediocrity. The results, summer and winter themed, are complied below and through the magic and sheer insanity that is YouTube we bring these to you in all the glory of low def.
Keep in mind that these films are copyrighted by all
interested parties and for personal consumption only... Also, please be forewarned that some of the content on these videos may prove to be offensive to some (for those people we recommend staying off the internet altogether).
So without further ado... Here are the goods ... In no particular order yet, we just thought we'd quickly throw them on here for ya. (fear not, more will
be added as we go):

2007 RETAILER OF THE YEAR Mike and JF were testing Nordica skis at Sunshine Village in a foot or so of fresh snow when we got the news.
Every year the Snow sports Industries America honors a retailer from each territory, in Canada and the US. This year we are very much honored that they chose Gord's Ski and Bike as the recipient for Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. "SIA is pleased to announce the latest winners of the SIA Canadian Snow Sports Retailer of the Year awards. Each of these awards recognizes those retailers and reps that have consistently made a significant impact in the snow sports industry. The Canadian awardees hail from six territories. All winners were voted on by suppliers and reps in the snow sports industry." Needless to say we're quite honored that our hard work and dedication to doing it right by you has been recognized.
Of course this would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our amazing customers and our tremendous reps and suppliers... Not to mention our sensational staff. We read about this in a general communique from the SIA and we're still wondering what kind of toaster they give out with this distinction. Hopefully it's a four-slice model.
If you haven't been to Gord's in a while, drop on by, see what all the hubbub is about. We'd love to get to know you and show you around our new second location on Kenaston as well as our newest addition to the family, our brand spankin' new Donald Street location, situated almost across the street to the old one at Number 2 Donald. Drop on by, say hi, stay a while, buy stuff, we'd love to see you!
