I went to see it last night, and they stole so much footage from PBP, besides that i thought it was alright, footage from JOI was pretty good but that might have been stolen from PBP as well. The helicopter footage was really repetitive but I enjoyed the part with the young snowboarders at mammoth, my favorite part was the "speedskiing" with the parachutes, so fucking intense

Yeah, I get two free tickets two winter park or copper. Totally worth the money. It's not like the movies are painful to watch either, They're not great, but they don't make me sick by any means.

they are probably nancy's...but who cares if its a girl ski, i know the exact reason why he would rid them.....he is like 14 years old or so, doesnt weight much or isnt too tall. nacy's are the softest pow ski k2 makes besides pontoons, but i dont think sean would ride some 189's or however tall they are...

K2 dosen't make the Seth that small, Nancy is the old Seth Vicious mold and comes in a size small enough for him. I saw the same at the WM show, that's the only thing I can think of. Bad seed isn't big enough, Seth isn't small enough, has to go Nancy, it is a burly womens ski

Your all dumb. Hes a real tiny little guy, so he buys the womens fat ski because its not as long. Easier for a little guy to maneuver.

warren miller created the film industry, how can you say he sucks?

plus his movies in recent years have begun to focus a little more on freeriding.

Warren Miller is the shit. However, the recent movies suck balls. His son took over the business and the name, but his movies are far below what his dad made. I like the old ones, but these new ones... awful.

why would it be gay? he's a small dude and those are softer skis, if they structurally work well for him than who cares.  thats like calling someone who is  under 15 years old and 120 lbs or so gay for using a binding with a din of 10 or 12 and under.

this warren miller in my opinion was one of the better ones they made. besides the yeah dude footage. but it had a lot of interesting segs. and sean was prob using the nancy cause its short and fat.

yeah its pretty hard to hate warren miller even if some of his movies are pretty weak, he pretty much invented them and im pretty sure he filmed jesus skiing so he's kind of a big deal
