Replying to Ridiculous urban happening in RTN
Yo guys, I was on extremepn.com and I saw that Symms reviewed Road to nowhere, check it:
"The back cover of Road To Nowhere describes the video as "an uncharted journey from hitting rails on the freezing streets of Calgary, to the thrill of waist-deep Colorado powder." More like an uncharted journey from hitting rails in the freezing streets of Calgary, to hitting rails in the freezing streets of Manchester, to hitting rails in the freezing streets of Boulder, to hitting rails in the freezing streets of Winter Park, to hitting rails in the freezing streets of Salt Lake City, to hitting rails in the freezing streets of Bozeman, to — you get the point. That is not to say that handrails are all that Road To Nowhere has to offer. It also has bomb drops, wall rides, ledges, bonks, butters, parks, and, okay, a little bit of that "waist-deep Colorado powder," too.
Road To Nowhere is very heavy on urban features — jibs? I don't know what the kids are calling them these days. But the features featured vary widely from small, creative, fun-looking jibs to endless, jaw-droppingly scary handrails with curves, bends, and many, many kinks. Young, hungry (mostly in the figurative sense, I'm sure) teenagers spin on, butter, grind, press, switch up, and occasionally take brutal hits on any and all of these imposing obstacles, right before dining on ramen noodles cooked in a cold parking lot for an oh-so-bohemian-looking cutaway shot. The result is a graphic "look at what's happening at the grassroots of our sport," that gives the viewer a healthy dose of oohs, ahhs, woot-woots, and omg's along the way. Even if street skiing isn't really your thing, yadadamean?"
But seriously, there is some serious urbanization in RTN, discuss
