Any Reviews?
Looking to get it in a few weeks - is mainly park? or a mix of Big mountain and park?
Thanks in advance

Saw it at IF3 and really liked it. I feel like no one's been talking about it, which is dumb because I thought the filming was good.

It had a freaky TBC feel to it, and some shots were better than others, but regardless I liked it. It was a rough weekend, and I distinctly remember a banger BM segment, but overall I'd recommend it.

Wow I don't think I was any help. Check it out -- is the point.

I liked some of the segments a lot. Although it really felt like such a TBC rip off (or Wicked), the whole psycho thing has been done. I felt like the whole narrative idea kind of took away from the actual skiing.

One of my favorite ski movies at IF3. They hit huuuuge fucking jumps, bring back the road gap, and tie it all together with awesome editting. if you have a chance to see it, go see it!

I agree with Ryno here. It was probably my favorite pro movie until Refresh than EDIAS took over.

The cinematography was really sick, some of the frame by frame stuff was wild. Pretty cool editing with that seg. Permin's stuff was ill.

If it was anything like the trailer, it should have been off the hook crazy

has more of a "classic" ski movie feel, which is done very very well.

it combines really good mix of big mountain and jumps, the pipe segment was alright too.

richard permin's closing segment was one of the best rounded movie parts of all time, up there with dane tudor in EDIAS and pep fujas in 1242(hate me).

I'm buying it.
