Idea Review

I really liked this movie a lot. The more I watch it, the more appreciative I become of the film. This film also has that unique ability to make me want to ski to an unbearable degree. I liked the guest appearances from guys like Dash Longe(really nice 7) and Benchetler. The soundtrack is very mellow, but it fits the relaxed, slow-spinning style of the three main riders. There are two park segments, which, although not containing all that many physically mind-blowing tricks (in relation to an msp movie) are very cool thanks to the talented camera work. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys more mellow, soulful ski films. I really like it.

yeah because the filming was awesome. in terms of physical demand though, you can't really compare andy's switch 3 to jon's double flips. i love the segment. i'm just saying for those who are looking for huge tricks, don't look here.

i loved this movie, but the snowboarding part just didnt keep me into it so much -- i understand the whole snowboard - pollard thing but just didnt think it had a place in this movie

the snowboarders weren't very good. I only liked the first 15 minutes and some of the random BC booter stuff, cuz their such steeze bots

Personally, I'd much rather watch Andy spin switch 3's any day over Jon's double flips.

bro, that was pep, pollard, and andy snowboarding.  that is what made it so cool, because they were actually good for not being snowboarders

The movie pretty much sucks. NO NEED FOR the barrels session, the crappy tricks in the park sesion (lots), the stupid snowboarding segment (it's ovbiously bonus footage), and the last 120 180's... And please, there are like 5 bc booter sessions only, just different angles. You are all drugged on IDEA just like japanese kids getting epileptic with pokemon

Yeah! What the fuck! They didn't have a single helicopter follow shot! They didn't do any sw 10s! Who the hell would want to watch a movie without a perfectly manicured private park and sixteen private heli trips? Theses guys are regressing skiing!!!






I am covered in the sarcasm that was dripping off of that.

I'm not asking for more heli shots or sw 10s... just asking for a good movie. You are just blinded by pep's and andy's balls

Do you live in Barcelona? What's the problem, not enough monoskiing in the movie for you?

yeah, probably. blinded by balls. that makes sense.

i guess we just have different opinions on what a "good" movie is. i think something with an original soundtrack, laid back vibe, and smooth tricks all over huge pillows and pow lines is good.

2 years ago, the best segment of any movie was JP and Seth's in UP1.2. Idea is sort of like a whole movie of that.

The fact that you thought dash's 630 was really nice voids your whole review.

Hey everyone!  Take the time to write formal reviews using the NS system when you are stoked on something (or not) It really could help people later on instead of everyone hollering "search bar!"  plus, it's great for your karma.

uhhhhh switch cork 3 is a HUGE trick. Name other people doing switch cork 3s...I personally don't know anyone else doings with cork 3s that look half that good. Such a technical trick. Unbelievable.

Honestly, not to be rude to andy at all. I really liked his riding more with poles, he flailed less, landed better, and was overall more fun to watch. I think its cool that hes doing what he likes and whats fun and I completely respect that, but as far as watching goes I liked him w/ poles. So at this point I would rather watch Jon kangaroo flip, Vanular double flip, or pep 9 in the bc. BTW, peps rodeo 5 high safety type deal = fucking sick

yes its an impressive trick. i'm saying that for all the double-flip adrenaline junkies, this movie won't be for you. jon's kangaroo flip will probab;y look way crazier to someone who doesn't know anything about skiing than pollard's zero spin. i like the slow spins more. i'm just saying, if you are an adrenaline junkie, idea may not be your best fit.
