So Im flipping through channels looking for the weather and i see a skier huck a huge cliff, I look down and notice its channel nine, ABC. Im like what the hell this is sick, its a preview for STEEP the new skiing movie. After the trailer it cuts to good ol shane sitting on a couch like a huge dork holding a cup of coffee with ingrid backstrom and this guy andrew whos in the movie too. they talked about how exxxxxtreme we are and how we do death defying stunts.
So there you have it boys and girls, freeride skiing just got introduced to the masses and im pretty sure every soccer mom and whoever else was watching were left scratching their heads

Was Ingrid in fact wearing a red white and blue bikini as a tribute to Glen Plake's appearance on the show like 15 years ago? I need to know this. Like now.

McConkey rips hard but he's such a goof sometimes.

I'd rather have McConkey as an ambassador to the sport than Tanner any day of the week.

to me, thats what skiing is. skiing without being goofy is no fun. rip some cool lines, throw down, but then do something ridiculous. its fun stuff.

on the main topic though, looks like a sick movie, and im glad something like it finally came through.

I never said I didn't wanna have McConkey, I just said he was a goof sometimes, not really a bad thing.  I never said anything about Tanner though, although he is an amazing skier regardless of what anyone says.  Hell I could list off people that would be better than McConkey but who cares.

We are giving away 30 passes to see STEEP. See the contest in the press release section here on NS.  The film should be great!
