i thought the first section sucked. But then Pep comes in for the rescue. Pep established himself as one of the strongest freeriders out there. His line dominance rivals candide. He is on very high level when it comes to charging lines. The last line in his section is insane--crazy sluff and exposure and gnar and he skis it perfectly. I thought Riley, Joe and Henitiuk had a good section. Some BC creativity and some nice shots. Stack and Charlie definitely entertained again and some solid switch pow as always. Dane crushed it and had some nice BC doubles and a couple of really strong natural 7s--really showed his strength when setting bigger spins out of the pow, without a lip. That shit is hard. Dane has always been a stronger sledder and you get to see his talents on the machine a bit. He hits a solid 50 footer which would be getting some props from the slednecks for sure. I want to see him get a full sled segment one of these years. Clayton Vila also had a super creative good section. Gangster song too. Leigh was creative as hell and good song choice with Morrison. Sean P gets closing and he crushes it. Its hard to know who's the better skier out of him, Dane and Pep as they all crush deadly lines, but Sean's closing shot really blew me away. He stomps a gnarly big 3 into like 500 vert of huge power slashes then rips another huge big 3 out the bottom. Definitely a lot of strength and confidence.
Overall, movie was really good. A bit too much talking for me, about the crew and friends and all that, but I guess they have to tell a story or whatever to be competitive, and you do get a perspective on how each rider thinks about skiing with others. Some of them thrive on the 'crew' mentality, and others just like doing their own thing, but know that their homies are out there doing their own gnarly shit and that is enough to inspire them. I guess that's what they were trying to get across and it works.
editing quality was good. some crazy slow mo right in the middle of the shots.
the credits have some good shit too, so watch till the end.
