Replying to EDIAS and Contrast Reviews

Just got back from both of em, and wow.

Contrast
Really really good skiing. Pep killed it, Andys part was real good, Pollards part was fun to watch as usual. Blake was great, and Benchetler DESTROYED, loved his part. Also loved the soundtrack, all good classic tunes. My only complaint is WAY TOO MANY VOICEOVERS. we all know you love skiing, but jesus, stop talking about it so much. i think they would have been a lot more tolerable if it had been voice overs WITH the skiing at the same time, but way to many shots of them on the couch talking. still a sick movie, id recommend the download i think, def worth the 15 for that, not sure if id pay full dvd price for it. great skiing, but the voiceovers detracted from the overall effect.

HOLY GOD GOOD.
Not sure if it was quite as mindblowing as refresh, but really really really fucking good.

Dane Tudor obviously killed it, park shots, bc shots, urban, everything.

Tanner proved how incredibly versatile he is. He had a banger urban part, a sick ass pipe destruction part, and 2 parts of bc slayage. Which led into also Spriggles and CR killing it in the BC as well. Cali P track made that segment BANGER

Andreas Hatveit. Good segment. Some real cool urban shit, and a couple dope jump shots. Liked the seggy, and have always loved Andreas, but was bummed to see the re-used JOSS footage, and it was a lil short i thought. still fun to watch though

Charlie Ager. Its about time he got a real part in a major movie. Dude got some ridiculous bc tricks and some gnarly slams to go with them. all in all super sick part, dude definitely loves skiing.

Urban slayage. Of course, Walker killed it, he always does. Gagnier had some sick shots, as did several other randoms in the part. This would i think be the thing that puts refresh slightly ahead though. It was really good, but its hard to compete with wallisch, b-dog, harlaut and the like.

Nike 6.0 seggy. Fun lil pow segment. Im really psyched to see simon in the BC and even a few urban shots again. Id love to see him get back to where he was back in the Forward and High 5 days when he was super well rounded. TJ had some sick shots as well, as did Jossi. Nothing stood out as super mindblowing, but its dope to see some dudes that normally just slay park doing some sick shit in the BC

Park slayage. So fucking good. Some absurd features with some real sick shit thrown down on em. Lotsa dub flips and dub corks, along with some creative jibs and things. Martini slayed, as well as everyone else possible. so many people its impossible to mention them all

And finally Tim Motherfucking Durtschi. This dude is without a doubt the most underrated guy in skiing today. he did tricks that would win contests repeatedly in the BC. every double flip you could possibly imagine, thrown off bc features. house went off, esp since durtchi was there tonight as well. and of course, dub rodeo over pyramid as the ender. one of the sickest shots ever.

Overall a super sick movie and i would DEFINITELY buy it, almost as good as Refresh, which i would say hands down is the best ski movie ever.
