The Return of TGR

I don't know about the rest of you kids, but I've always been a big TGR fan. The last few years their movies have sort of sucked compared to the Ski Movies, Decesare, and the rest... but I think they had a huge comeback with The Prophecy... seriously one of the best movies last year. And the trailer for High Life is just incredible... I think TGR is definitely back at the forefront of skiing.

I like TGR for the fact that they blend Ski and Snowboard footage. I don't have much more of an opinion because I didn't get a chance to see any of their films from this past year. Who knows, maybe they're ahead of their time.

I loved the prophecy as well. Very quality, although, even though I am all for big mountain that little section about it seemed very documentary-like and out of place. But it was an awesome film. Salad Days was alright too. I got about three copies of each of Salad Days, The Prophecy, and Proof all for free. That was off-subject but yeah TGR is coming back,

I loved Prophecy. I didn't like Salad Days so much. It was pretty short and the music was a POS. But the footage was pretty good. Where can I see a trailer for next years movie (I'm assuming its called High Life)?

But it never did, and instead, hacked up the carpets with knives.

totally agreed. And dont judge them by the jib movies cause those arent even edited by the same people. Further was one of my favorite movies ever. Mind the Addiction was a completely different format but they worked it out and the Prophecy was just amazing. And now just look at the trailer for High Life.

I liked subject to change except for the all cliff drops and no landings part and the one guy that is big mountain and has a 360 in his segment near the begining. After seeing salad days for the first time i was really disapointed but after watching it a bunch i like it cause of the diffrence of riders and i liked most of the music. the snowmobile part was weak though the crashes were good at the very end.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Salad Days at all... it seemed really jumpy. I got the feeling when it was over that it hadn't even started... all the sections were really short. The music was pretty damn good though, I loved the song in Jeremy Jones' section.

more like 'Tossin Dudes' Salads Days'. i dont think i can really fully accept them. for that flick, which i thought was really jumpy, had some retarded format ideas (why would you have somebody's seg, cut to a fwe shots of somebody else, and then jump back to the first person???), and some dumb music. then, lets not forget those attrocities called Area 51 and Los Alamos and those fucking retarded alien subplots. that shit sucked. my big problem with them is that they're trying too hard to be innovative.

some of the cliff drops in that movie are insane, and that corked out trick (i cant remember what it was exactly) where the guy screwed up and smashed on his side is good enough reason for me to buy the movie

Yeah, the Prophecy was worse than their video from the year before, which wasn't that good.
