So i have some money in my paypal, 27 dollars to be exact, and i want to get a ski flick, but i cant decide, get lucky and slamina both look super ill, and i like crazy jibs and big air's. i also wanna order it from wherever is gonna hook up some good stickers, sooo some proposals would be nice!

and who has watched both of them? what did u like?

thanks!

Slamina is good, but it doesnt have as many bonus features as Look it Up did. Still a sick movie though.
If you can scrounge up a few more dollars i would buy Journal though.

torn between Look it Up and Teddy Bear Crisis. Look it Up had such good bonus footage and amazing editing but everyone charged so hard in Teddy Bear Crisis and it came out like three years ago..

Head for the Hills - 10/10 - I don't think any ski film ever made me this stoked, although 'Believe' was pretty close. Will and Andy's section is so sick but there are so many great sections.

Journal - 9.5/10 - Charley Ager! For me has to be perfomance of the year. Sick pow, sick park, sick urban. But also sick performances from the whole crew. Max Hill and Frank Raymond kill it.

Turbo - 9/10 - Incredible skiing but for me didn't have the 'feel' of the above two. Not a single weak section in it. Riding level blew my mind. Great editing too but it lacked reality for me. Almost too perfect.

Such is Life - 7/10 - So sick in parts but found it a bit long with some slow sections. Cosco and LJ were the standouts, but sick skiing from all. Editing was a bit weak though.

Slamina - 8/10 - Not really an 'Am' movie anymore. So sick! Wallisch, Stepp, Witt Foster, Henrik Harluat are the killer sections that spring to mind.

Road to Nowhere - 7/10 - Really enjoyable to watch. Some seriously sick snowboarding (which I don't normally enjoy watching). Amazing Urban! Could have used some more variety.

Massive - 9/10 - Amazing skiing, I like more urban to balance thing but thats not what this was about. I loved the soundtrack too and the feel of the main movie. But some of it was cheesy and the titles were weak in my opinion. Still sick. Everyone should see it. I thought Believe was better though.

Hunting Yeti - 7.5/10 - Skiing was unreal and editing was great. It was a bit too short and a bit repetitive though. And the webisodes took away from any 'wow' moments. Idea was better.

If you want the best park/jib/urban then it has to be Turbo/Slamina

This year i saw hunting yeti, journal, reasons, and 44 days. Was stoked on all of these movies, but 44 days suprised me the most, cuz i wasn't expecting it to be off the hook, and it was completely sick.

You can get both Slamina and The Motherland for 27 bucks. 2  "am"movies for the price of 1 "pro" movie best deal out there.

i'd say turbo, although i've only seen bits and pieces of it

rainville's first hit(s) in the first part are straight silly though.
