Fucking Phils and Rinfret fucking faggots douchebags, they have no respect for those hard working people that make their movies worthwhile, and only those three could have made that techno song so bad god damn. Plus like 3 songs were good, rest was crap. Only these segments are worth watching:
JF Houle (redic)
Phil Belanger
Frank Raymond (ok)
Phil Larose
Laurent Favre
Josh Bibby
Woodie Bouma
Arnaud Kugener
Alexis Godbout
Libya
Charles Gagnier (cool)
and Michelle Parker
And anyone who didn't see through this bad "joke", Skimatic is the illest movie I've seen since Exact Science. Same feel, awesome representation and skiing that'll make you say...

ooh shiit. bibbys butters, raymonds rails, favres cork1, nice bc switch landings, gagniers all four 1080s! id say it was the best movie i have ever seen. good flow and crazy tricks and it looked like they had fun as well, so its getting the same feeling like some snowboard movies. very good soundtrack as well and the intros were kinda funny :D

just got my preorder (toronto area) .. and i must say, not what i thought it was going to be. I wasnt into the whole skimatic 4000 theme, i thought the music was kinda weak, and the editing could have been better (although the editing was good, i cant really complain about that)
the part i love the most is the very last clip in the credits, when charles gagnier steps onto that urban down rail. That was crazy. Wondering why that my favourite clip? Well let me tell you. Im in it! haha woohoo, right when the clip starts, im to the left in a yellow hoodie. So im kinda stoked on that, i organised that session.. so pretty stoked.
This is jsut my opinion.. so hate or whatever, i still love plehouse, but i think that they could have done better with what they had to work with.

amaziiiiingggg flick!! orignal tunes and editing. the amount of bonus footy made up for the kinda shortness of the movie itself
although the scenic footy was awesome, skimatic DEFINETLY coulda used a little bit less of it and a lil more skiing action.
BUY IT!

unbelievably sick movie...most legit handrail trickery ever done by skiers, first-hit sw 7's and zero spins on bc house gaps, really creative tricks and setups, super artistic filming and editing, solid music, and like another movie and half worth of bonus footage. i approve.

I just bought the movie today. They got creative with the whole format, although i cant say im a huge fan. but hey its something different so ill give them props for that.
The first couple ski shots of the movie blew my mind from JF Houle, but I have to say after that my stoke went down a bit (even tho some of the urban he did was rediculous). Maybe I am just getting older and not as stoked on ski movies, but i dont know if i liked it more than exact science. Belanger did some huge 7's, I was expecting big things from Laurent but was a little disappointed, and Bibby's butters were rediculous. Charles also did crazy 1080's each and everyway which was awesome, so i guess the movie was pretty good in the end. I was just really hoping for a segment like mickaels in exact science that fucking got me so stoked.
One thing I especially didn't like was the fact that everything was in french and the bonus section was pretty lame (Windells section????). I speak french but come on some subtitles would be nice for those english speakers?
Anyways I hope this isnt sounding like a rant, cause I love plehouse and really respect what you guys are doing. I would rate this one a 7/10.
