Phew! That was one hell of a season wasn’t it? Hectic doesn’t even cover the half of it, even the most casual observers of the snowboard world had a lot to keep up with. Olympic hype to the rise of the micro-contest, snowboarding media was everywhere

Partly to blame for this was the huge uptake from the snowboard industry of the Instagram video – from shaky iPhone recordings, GoPro selfies to hyper slo-mo RED Epics everyone has embraced this tool for 16 seconds of fame.

But is blame the right word? We all love snowboarding right? And with a limited time to catch up with all the edits flying out of the internet the insta vid has been a great way to keep your finger on the pulse.

Whether you love the quick hit or long for the days of annual films to return to their former glory, Instagram is here to stay. Enjoy some of the best mini vids the pros have given us this year.
