The trailer finally dropped for their two year project today. I'm easily more stoked about this than any other movie this year.

Loved this little teaser from Chris' page. That switch zero and then what I think was a monster threw were pretty tidy looking. Drops tomorrow!

I just got it off iTunes, and I really enjoyed it. Good filming, good music, and good skiing. If you want triples over 80 foot tables, straightlines down Alaskan spines, or gritty urban segments, this is not the movie for you, but sometimes it's cool to see how a few legends approach terrain I would actually consider skiing. I think Nimbus is better than just about anyone at showcasing just how much fun it is to go out and ski with your friends.
My only complaint is the run time. For a two year project, 29 minutes seems a little short. But even if it means drinking cheaper beer for a week or two, you should definitely pony up the $12.99 to help these guys continue to generate awesome content.

On Vimeo on demand. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/aftertheskyfalls
I personally prefer paying via this rather than iTunes as I assume Nimbus will receive more of my money than if I went the iTunes route.
Stoked to watch this in full.

Yes, I much prefer Vimeo on demand to itunes. Just bought this. The biggest thing for me is getting a non-DRM download of the raw video file in any resolution I want. More money to Nimbus is also a big plus.

Also just finished watching. Being completely honest I was slightly skeptical that it was going to be a gigantic lifestyle shot. That's just the feeling I sort of got from some of the social media posts surrounding it. There's also some other films *cough* Into The Mind *cough* that were more or less that, so after a quiet two years from Nimbus I wasn't sure what to expect.
But oh no, aha After The Sky Falls is actually an absolute pow jib slay fest. One that also happens to be amazingly filmed in god damn stunning HD. There's a part where John Jackson blasts through some fresh and the way the snow fragments is mesmerizing. And yeah there definitely are lifestyle shots, but they make sense in my mind. It's the Nimbus crew horsing around, having fun in the region and then you get to see everyone sending it; no overly intense close ups of a Sherpa dude spinning a prayer wheel, and then you get to see an okay big mountain line...
It is only 30 minutes but I really do like shorter formats; Wallisch Project, Good Company, Brain Massage, etc. all perfect length for what they are. While some blame this on shorter attention spans of today and hate it, I personally think it stems for more demand of quality than quantity.
Overall this is just another awesome piece on an already stellar list of work from Nimbus. Hope they keep shredding and filming, can't wait to see what's next.

couldn't agree more. long movies inevitably get boring and drag on. love the shorter flicks, and you listed great examples

@nimbus ... you dudes always put out rad stuff, awesome skiing, beautiful shots etc etc. Nothing at fault there. but...
Being self proclaimed artists, don't you think it's a bit weird to use blatantly non-licensed songs in your videos? I seriously doubt you guys coughed up the dough to license Lou Reed and a whole slew of other mega hit songs in your past videos.
With that being said, your stuff is totally cool and I've watched all the content you've put out over the years without fail... just a bit of a bummer to see that.

Thanks for the love and yes all rights were gotten, that's how we are able to distribute on iTunes, Vimeo, ect. It's pricey, the film is a net-zero project (we barely make to cover our costs) so every purchase helps, thank you!
