I couldn't resist, I just had to say something about this: First Descent : Snowboard Movie

The trailer on the firstdescent site isnt the same as that one, so thats why I posted that link.

Now personally, I have nothing against snowboarders, and some of my best friends ride....

But this movie, and the way that trailer is presents it just makes me think...

"WOW! You guys discovered big mountain! Congratulations!"

Not really the fault of the riders or snowboarding itself, but the producer/director. But then again, target audience is probably your everyday gaper. I dunno, I'm bored so I just threw this up here.

Anyone else have thoughts or comments on this?

It may be lame, but are we getting big time movies made about our sport produced by Universal? I think not.

I like how they used the song from J.P.'s segment in War. I don't think they did it intentionally, but really they could have used a millions other songs and they chose the same one...

Hah, that looks so fuckin cheesy. And I think having a heli carry you to the top of a mountain and then riding it doesn't qualify as a "first descent", but don't tell the gapers that will be lining up to see this that...
