So I bought The Art of Flight today....

SteezoSaurus · 2011-09-08 19:52:43

Yup. It's true. I bought it and let me say this... Travis Rice is fucking amazing. There are dubs off huge cliffs with durty tree taps in the middle. Some of the big mountain lines he is shredding are extremely impressive as well. I must say that IMO he is one of the most progressive riders that is alive today. I hate to lick balls like that, but Travis Rice deserves waaay more credit than that flying tomato fuck.. Rant...

absolutely the best snowboarding or skiing or extreme sport movie i have ever seen. The narration was a refreshing break from the usual. HD was fucking nuts, its practically looking through a fucking window. I am blown away. Best 10 bucks ive spent in a loooooooooong time.

Shoot the Moon will always be the best thing I have ever watched that involved sliding on snow.

But yea the cinematography was from another planet.

So so so so good. I honestly hate ski movies and edits. I would rather watch snowboarding at any given time. Skiing is all the same, everybody dresses the same,everybody does the same tricks, and so forth. Snowboarding has a much wider variety of styles and is a lot more enjoyable to watch.

IMO.

Travis has always slayed. He was busting his balls trying to triple before Torstein if I remember, not to say that Travis is better (Torstein fucking slays). I'll probably download soon.

I just finished watching it and I must say I wasn't much of a fan. The filming was amazing and there were a lot of really sick tricks but overall It wasn't very enjoyable to watch. I found the soundtrack to be unoriginal and bland but that's just my opinion and can't be helped. The whole macho thing they had going on got old really quick. The entire patagonia scene was completely pointless besides looking at the awesome landscapes and watching them piss off the guides and pilot. Then again, this movie already had a strike against it for me. You know when travis rice rode on the side of the helicopter? Well the filmers and riders both swore that they would keep that a secret and the pilot almost lost his job. The riders killed it but the overall feel of the movie was off.

You don't lose your job from that, you become a legend. If Travis Rice came to your heli operation and said he wanted to ride on the side of the heli..... you'd say 'fuck yes you can'.

I watched it last night and twice again this morning and I'm gonna have to say I agree with a lot of this. The riders killed it and the cinematography was next level, without a question, but something about the film hasn't lived up to expectations. Maybe I had too much green but a lot of the last 20 minutes seemed kind of dark and bleak, which made the flow just off. But, that said, I think if the same footy was done with a badass soundtrack and more lines that were spontaneous and conversational rather than written beforehand and read for the cameras, it could be such a legit movie. This is probably going to get some hate but as it stands now, I think the level of riding and filming may have been better in this, but the whole vibe of that's it, that's all still beats it for me.
