History

TDDSR was born in Chamonix, Mt Blanc France.  In January 2011.Lachlan Humphreys the origional dumper along with a string of friends started to produce the first seasons of episodes. The production developed  purely on the fact that we just wanted to commit to making something creative. Naturally being addicted to snow culture the idea started and in many ways snowballed. Self founded with love and passion we starting to produce daily video and a photography diary.

After season one in Europe the decision was made to take this to New Zealand. Being Australian this is closer to home and the big debate every winter, ‘is Australia or New Zealand better for snow’ this ongoing argument continues, I’m backing New Zealand obviously and I saw this as marketing opportunity to gain support from New Zealand Tourism and to gain a fan base. I began to believe this is going to become viral product and a marketing solution to promote NZ and brands.

TDDSR has now produced 5 seasons 250 episodes a growing fan base and is returning to New Zealand for its third year for 2013. We are Currently seeking investment from sponsors to secure the necessary founding to keep the production in flow for 2013

Season Two New Zealand Off The HookTour (6th Aug- 28th September 20110)

Operating out of a van we embarked on an 8-week tour of NZ in a Jucy Camper Van. Starting at The Burton New Zealand Open and the NZ Winter Games covering the action of both events and reporting on the snow conditions. We moved onto the NZ Free Ride Tour covering the K2 Big Mountain Chill Series, 33 Export Extreme and The North Face NZ Free Ski Big Mountain, exposing and promoting the free-ride circuit and athletes involved to an online audience.

A critical relationship was developed with Destination Queenstown, a government branch of Tourism New Zealand. They came on board as a presenting partner and supported TDDSR with accommodation, transport, and booked them into a variety of off mountain activities to promote and expose attractions around the region.
