4bi9 and level 1 are the two biggest filming companies in skiing (based on the number/quality of athletes they have) and they have now both dropped the trailers for their new movies. Which do you think looks better and which company do you like more in general?

aobUnfortunately biggest does not equal best when it comes to ski videos. I truly hope that someday 4Bi9 and Level 1 will become the biggest ski film companies. They both look better that the Warren Miller movie which I hear is the actual biggest ski film company.
Lol not for freestyle skiing homie. Try again.

A lot of them are the same riders soooo why are you comparing them?

.Hugo.Lol op just said biggest in skiing, not freestyle skiing homie. Try again.
Good thing I wasn't responding to OP. When you look at a company like Warren Miller and try to compare it to 4bi9, I don't see how you can really do that. They are very different markets that deal with a different audience. So when we are focussing on the freestyle movie market; no, warren miller still doesn't hold any water to the others. But thanks for chiming in!

Why does it have to be one or the other? Level 1 is certainly more established and thus has more resources available to them than 4bi9, but that doesn't change the fact that both are going to be incredible films in their own right. Not to mention that several of the skiers will appear in both films.
Just buy both and don't be a stooge.

ParryWithAnAWhats kinda funny/sad is that not one person has mentioned PBP...Are they done? I know they have a 20 year movie coming out but what is the overall perception of them these days?
I haven't thoroughly enjoyed a PBP movie since Decesare stopped directing. Bits and pieces here and there, but nothing more.

Or TGR, MSP, or Sherpa Cinema. All three of which attract more of an audience than 4bi9, and some Level 1. This is just a stupid thread. Everyone has their own preferences for ski movies. It is too difficult to compare.

I think he was talking about park/urban/BC jump movies not SKIING movies. But I think you can kinda compare Level 1 and 4bi9 these days.

You're probably right. I guess PBP fits somewhere in the middle between those two categories. Most shots are freestyle oriented, but then they have scene like last year where the document ski touring in the Alps.

TGR bores me actually. They have some urban at the beginning of the movie, and then it just ends up being endless pow segments. May be entertaining to some, but I think its boring as hell.

That's speaking to my point about how it is all a matter of preference. I look forward to TGR movies more than any others each fall. I guess I prefer endless pow shots to urban, and that seems to not be the case for you. That's what makes skiing beautiful.

This is such an ignorant thing to say...neither are even close to the biggest ski film companies. For urban skiing they are arguably the best (stept too) but they're not even close to being the "biggest".
