Well, I just finished watching it, and I am defneitely impressed, the only thing is that is sorta short, i felt like the movie was really getting going with Charles Gagniers segment, and then it ended.

Also

Frank Raymond, and JF Houle absolutely kill it in this movie, Franks urban skills are amazing

skimatic is the best one i have seen so far this year with ski porn barely beating corduroy for second, and then photoplay last.

yea, that's him. He's a great guy... sucks he's leaving pléhouse for making animations in a montreal studio. Skiing industry does not produce enough money.

I really like skimatic. The actual skiing parts are awesome. I liked Whiteshine a lot better. It had a btter vibe to it(junkyard segment). The whole animation of the skimatic 4000 thing I don't like at all. Anybody stopping by my dorm room, is like wtf are you watching. I just don't like it at all. Other than that it is aweosme, well worth the movie. I do think corduroy is better though, the booters ball footage, ian cosco, carlson, spriggs, kyler cooley's were all good, and I like the great mix of good big mountain stuff into it.

Skimatic is my Favorite movie ever with forward.

Charles Part is Amazing... even all the 10s I'm more the type of yeah style over spin, but they were all super sick...

Frank Raymond and JF houle kills it on rails and Bibby butter everything like there he's been doing that for his whole life. I actually found the intro pretty good.

charles gangier has to be the worst thing that happen to skiing. new grinds has to be the worst thing in skiing. actually skiing is just gay peroid. except for benchets and pep.
