Postland Theory is a production company from the flatlands of the Netherlands and this is their first movie. Now, don't let that fool you, cuz this shit is LEGIT! No soggy tricks or crappy editing here, Tim Schiphorst and his merry band of dirtbags have put together one of our favorite European movies of the year. Here's the full movie, 21 minutes of pure awesomesauce, with some extra butter on the side so you can find out a little more about this crew of Dutchies. Now PRESS PLAY!

Is it okay for me to call you Tim van Schiphorst or do you have to pay the government to get a "van" between your names?
It would probably cost some money, but it doesn't sound bad actually. If I changed my name it would be a little more drastic though, maybe something that non-Dutch people can pronounce.

What productions are you feeling these days?
Obviously I love what Videograss is doing and I look forward to seeing the new CAPiTA and Rome films. I have always loved the People films but with most of the old crew gone, I don't know what to expect anymore. The new and improved Isenseven crew makes me curious as well, can't wait to see what Wojtek Pawlusiak and Dani Rajcsanyi did. On a smaller level, I love what KBR is doing, definitely looking forward to Toni Kerkela's part again.

What kind of camera do shoot your friends with?
Mostly I went along with the DSLR hype, got myself a 550D the day we left for Helsinki. I had the oldest, crappiest lens ever, but it was the only thing I could get my hands on. I think this lens used to be mounted on an old analog camera my dad had back in the day. I also use my Sony FX7 like a GoPro, cuz the fisheye is pretty much rusted onto the body.

Can you state the "Postland Theory" in one sentence?
It's all about fun? Hanging with your friends? I don't know, I just liked the logo.

Where did you guys throw yourselves down stairs and teeter on rails to film Momentum?
First Cees Wille, Joey van Essen and Gerben Verweij went to Switzerland to test out the new winch and stuff. When that all worked fine we went to Helsinki for three weeks. Kas Lemmens joined us for one week. After that Kas and I went to Innsbruck to look for spots but there wasn't enough snow. Later Cees and Gerben took Bob van Unnik to Helsinki again, it was late season so the snow wasn't perfect but enough for Bob to get some shots. Bob went home and Cees and Gerben drove to Oslo to meet Joey and I. We spent a week looking for spots and snow but again we couldn't get a lot done. Wessel shot most of his part with his German buddies, they were kind enough to let me use some shots. I think 95% of the movie was shot during those first 3 weeks in Helsinki.

Did you stay awake long enough in Physics class to remember the equation for momentum?
I didn't have to, Gerben couldn't have explained it any better. He lost his drivers license in Helsinki so Cees had to drive most of the time. He'd only gotten his license a few months earlier, so jumping straight into driving on icy roads was difficult. They don't teach you how to handle these kind of conditions in Holland, so every time Cees was about to get stuck in the snow, Gerben would tell him to "keep his momentum, or the car will get stuck". That pretty much sums up how our season went, getting stuck in shit but pulling ourselves through with momentum and ending up with this film.

Do you ever "taste coach" the riders and recommend tricks for the riders to do or not do?
I tried talking Joey out of doing these gay-ass swivel ones but he did it anyway. I ended up using the shot and people seemed to love it. Besides that, there was this one time where there was no "directing" going on at the spot, just a healthy discussion between all of us about what tricks would be dope to do on a certain rail. For example we pushed Kas to do that big kinked rail, it was his first week hitting street rails ever, and he had already seen Cees and Gerben getting taco'd on it, so I guess he definitely stepped up. First we had to convince him that a 50-50 was a legit trick, then he only needed 3 tries to land it. Ultimately though my job is just to be there, document anything that happens, and help the riders get the shot.

What are symptoms of spending too much time in the snow dome?
Lack of creativity, but being able to do a lot of tricks. Indoors everything is always the same so learning your moves is easy. Going outdoors is a big difference and I see a lot of indoor kids struggle to get their safety tricks down on other features besides their trusted local rail. Still, I think the level of riding in Holland is pretty insane, especially on rails, but we also got some kids that are doing well on jumps.

What is there a lot of in Holland that you guys could pile up and make a well-needed mountain?
There was a post on some ski site the other day about plans to make a mountain here. That would be rad, I think most of us wouldn't mind driving for an hour to take some sunny laps. It sounded pretty crazy but they didn't say what they were gonna use as a foundation, Dutch architects like playing God. But to answer your question, I would stack all the indoor domes in Holland and get rid of the roof, problem solved. That would probably piss off a lot of kids here, though.

Who in the crew would win a nollie battle?
Oh, there was an indoor contest here a while back, our second angle/intro filmer for the summer Luc Büthker won because he nollied into all his tricks. Highest nollie in our crew would probably go to Wessel van Lierop though, and I know Gerben Verweij loves 'em as well.

Would you rather see life though your own eyes in constant ramped slow-mo or dusty super 8 film?
Ramped slow-mo for sure, hearing my own voice would make me laugh, basically everything is funny in slow-motion. I would dodge bullets and fight people like in the Matrix or 300. As long as the ramp is a frequency wave and not just a parabola, it would suck if the slow motion effect would increase until everything just stops.
