I was going to buy one of the movies, but I saw both of the trailers for the movies. I'm having a hard time trying to decide which one to get. Which one would you guys get and why?

I got both because they are both great in their own way.  You should do the same.

I was thinking about it but I'm not sure if I'll have the money at the moment. Which one would you get first?

Well I bought both, but if I had to choose it would def. be Level1. First and foremost, Leve11 has my favorite riders, so that is key.Secondly, I love the Level1 team of Kyle Decker, Josh Berman and Freedle Coty and I'm never dissappointed with the amazing job they do.....hardest working crew out there! Not to mention the movie cleaned house at IF3 with Best Jib Fick, Best Make Performance with Ahmet, Best Cinematography, Best Trailer and Rookie of the Year with Parker White.

yo i havn't seen either of the new movies, but from what level 1 does compared to pbp, it is usually more urban in lvl1 movies and more Back country in PBP.

So it depends what you're into: urban --- level 1

more BC----poor boyz

I think that every year Level 1 has a well rounded amount of park/urban/bc and PBP tends to lean more towards bc with less park/urban. Being from Wisconsin, I'm more interested in the park and urban so if there is a lot of pow/bc shots, I start to get uninterested because I've never had the opportunity to ski that.

So what I am trying to say is... I haven't seen Revolver or Eye Trip yet, but based on past experiences with both of those companies, pick them based on the description in my previous post.

Ya, I'm thinking about Eye Trip but I saw some sick footage in Revolver. I think at this point I'm going with Eye Trip.

i picked eye trip to buy on dvd/bluray, but i will be picking up revolver from the itunes store as well.

i personally enjoy park shoots and urban way more than bc, and pbp always has more of a pow/bc feel in my opinion

Or THE WAY I SEE IT, I mean it does have the best "comp park skier" and some if not the best big mountain riders. I just get tired of seeing park rats hike an urban rail.

MSP REALLY impressed me this year. The way i see it is a MUST see at least once. real mind-blowing shit in there. as for Revolver vs. Eye Trip, i found revolver to have more intense mind blowing scenes (i mean, Dumont over that pipe-groomer?) but Eye Trip seemed to have a more densely compacted amount of bangers. its a really hard choice, get both is my best advice.

To those who've seen "The Way I See It": how sick was the opening segment with Pettit and the song being Queen, "Fat Bottom Girls"? Just like last year the opening with The Who "Teenage Wasteland", so awesome.

It's baba oriealy (or however you spell it) but there is a second name for it which is Teenage Wasteland. Both name's are correct.

no, it's baba o'riley, teenage wasteland is just repeated in the chorus which is why it is often mistaken as the title. there is actually a different who song called teenage wasteland, but its slower and not the one we are talking about.

It is Baba O'Riley; both names are not correct. Just as the plural of "name" is "names." Not "name's." Nothing belongs to the "name." The apostrophe (' symbol) has nothing to do with plural. There is never an instance when you need an apostrophe to denote a plural.

if i had to choose, it would probably be eye trip since im more of a park skier and their entire crew is stacked with style.

the filming is a bit better as well in my eyes. multiple angles for almost any shot so you dont have to watch 5 people hit the same jump from any kind of similar angle.

if you want a bit more powder than choose revolver but you want more jib and park than choose eye trip

(i've only seen revolver but they said in the IF3 magazine that revolver have more powder segement and i agree that there a little bit too much and that there is less powder in eye trip)

Revolver was a little too long and had too much Alaska,
Sammy was sick, LJ, Dane, Simon, Matt and many others too. The skiing was good but the movie just wasn't put together fantastically. The CRJ honor was the best segment in my opinion

Eye Trip was much better in my opinion, the music for each segment went well with every skier (especially Ahmet and Hornbeck). They had the right balance between jumps, urban, and backcountry. It took me a while to decide my favorite segment is, I'd have to say Hornbeck or the powder segment with Bibby, Adams, and Rainville.


They were both great though
