DOCUMENTARY “TRANSITIONS” AT RED BULL HEADQUARTERS

The Media and Industry screening will be held on October 15, 2009 at 9:00 PM PST at Red Bull North America (Doors open at 7:30 PM).

“Transitions” follows the meteoric rise of the sport of Freeskiing through the eyes of Simon Dumont, one of action sports most dynamic and relevant personalities. Shot over the course of the last two years, “Transitions” reflects the paradigm shift taking place in sports and youth culture today. Featuring interviews from Simon and some of the world’s best skiers, fans will witness what the journey has been like to go from participating in an “extreme sport” to gaining mainstream athletic acceptance, from the unique perspective of those at the forefront of the Freeskiing Movement.

For the first time ever, viewers will get a no-holds-barred look into the life of Simon Dumont. From his early years skiing at hometown resort, Sunday River, where he followed the progression of a new generation of ski greats like Tanner Hall and Jon Olsson, to competing in contests against his ski idols, to winning X Games Gold Medals, setting a World Record and becoming Freeskiing’s overall World Champion, “Transitions” is the true story of one of action sports most influential athletes.
