Discover soundtracks from your favorite ski and snowboard films |
Thursday, 29 November 2007 |
After a year of success, SkiMovieMusic.com is now welcoming its sister site online. RiderTunes.com debuts on the
Internet today, and as Ski Movie Music does with ski soundtracks, Rider Tunes
makes the music from snowboard movie soundtracks easy to find and even easier to
legally download.
“It was a natural progression to become a resource for snowboarders too,” said
Jesse Lakes, the founder and editor of what is now the largest ski music site on
the Internet.
Lakes said that within a few months of its release, Ski
Movie Music had become a major resource for skiers. In its first year the site
tripled its content to nearly 100 different ski movie soundtracks, and the daily
web traffic keeps growing along with the soundtracks.
“People like
using the site so they tell their friends and then help us add more
soundtracks,” Lakes said. “It’s a great cycle that benefits everyone.”
The community that has grown around Ski Movie Music includes skiers from
across the globe, with a large percentage from outside the U.S. and Canada. The
site hit a tipping point in September when ski movie producers realized the
potential and began sending their soundtrack lists to the site with requests to
be added.
Rider Tunes makes its initial release today with more than 50
soundtracks, and Lakes is positive it will grow even more quickly than its
predecessor.
“We are shooting for 150 soundtracks by the end of the
season and we hope to be as complete as possible by the beginning of next
winter.”
Those itching to make their first turns of the year and needing
something to get them stoked now have a couple of choices. It just depends on
whether their preference is for one board strapped to their feet or two. And if
they don’t see their favorite soundtrack listed, they can simply request it, it
will be added, and they will be credited for helping to make the site the
success that it has become.
SkiMovieMusic.com and RiderTunes.com are part of NiftyTricks Media, the
Missoula-born, University of Montana-bred, dot-com vision of Jesse Lakes and
friends.
