rdf:langString Teton Gravity Research (TGR) is an extreme sports media company based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The company was founded in 1996 by brothers Steve and Todd Jones, as well as friends Dirk Collins, , and Corey Gavitt. The group launched the company to create products that came from the perspective of athletes, showcased youth culture, and fostered the growth of high-risk action sports. TGR works closely with various athletes to create films, advertisements, products, and events that promote outdoor sports typically involving dramatic combinations of high elevations and speed, and requiring the highest athletic strength, skill, and judgment to avoid (or reduce the risk of) serious injury. TGR films and advertisements employ high-resolution recording and modern editing techniques in order to concisely showcase perfected moves by athletes. Accordingly, these video works do not provide a complete chronology of the innumerable hours of practice and extensive training and skills development (and injuries accumulated during the process) that the athletes motivated themselves to undergo in order to attain the depicted level of proficiency.
