Well, what do you guys expect to see in a movie if you dont like urban?  alot of people dont like pow, then some wont like jumps? should people stop making movie ?

I don't personally like urban, but that doesn't mean it doesn't blow my mind with the right combination of filmers,location,skier, and editing. Level 1 films, specifically Long Story Short and Realtime have become two of my favorite ski movies for that reason alone. It doesn't have to show what I want to see in a ski movie, yet show a side of skiing better than anyone else can.

Blake Kimmel in Spotlight Project has a creative editing style that is mind blowing

With the exception of Level 1, Spotlight Project, and Meathead Films, companies over-glorify skiing and portray exactly what skiing is NOT. By keeping creativity and fun in skiing, Level 1 and other companies choose to scour the globe for the best urban and back country in the biz. Three years from now, urban and back country jumping will dominate ski movies. Thankfully, these companies embrace creativity rather than resist the change.

If creative editing is what you want, urban is the future. Cities hold limitless possibilities and with someone like Decker, Berman, or Freedle documenting the madness --- the shots will blow your mind.

if level 1 made a movie of just urban I would buy it. There is something berman and freedle do that make the urban sections amazing, they capture it just the right way but it always turns out dope. Im suuuuper excited for the upcoming movie

Berman might honestly want to think about making two movies, so much footage so far, and 2008 just started

yeah...rails don't really give me a stoke factor unless they're done at the right times and extremely well. I think level 1 overdoes it, but if that's your thing that's cool. I prefer more big mountain lines and BC booters/bc jibbing. I gotta say that chris benchetler's seggy in Yeah Dude was one of my favorites in a long time, and so was john symms'...

What I enjoy the most is that none of this surprises me at all.

Level 1 consistently puts out dope movies with killer editing, great skiing, and a perfect vibe. Why should this year be any different?

With the exception of Realtime and High five I haven't seen much skiing in bermans movies over the last few years. I seen more jumping flipy spiny tricks and rails slides. I would like to see berman take his athletes to some hills and have them make some real turns.... Throw a curve in there.... all you little hoods would be shitting bricks....

i can't belive that level 1 is getting hate at all but on a website called newschoolers of all places! they make the best videos in the world and they have a style that is what this site is meant to represent. they are inovative films, they show how skiing has progressed since the last one, turns in pow is nothing new, i'm bored of that, i don't know how you can be bored of something you've never seen before.

thay're undeniably the best park movies, but fuck man, i think they do so many handrails that it just gets gay.  Persoanlly, I am thoroughly impressed when movies just have a few insanely gnarly urban features. Level 1 does so many double and triple kinks that none of them stand out.   they should work harder on their backcountry shit, cuz wiley miller's footage was the sickest part of realtime fo sho...

best park movies? I buy level 1 movies for the back country and the urban, and the park segs add a great closing to the movies. perhaps focusing on the tricks and the technicality of the tricks done on handrails in level 1 movies will help you appreciate the urban more. Being disciplined enough to get as many rails on film as level 1 athletes do is not an easy task. Level 1 is without question the hardest working company in the biz
