Dear ski movie makers

With teaser season fast approaching I have one request for all of you. Please don't give away half of your bangers in the teaser. PLEASE. It makes the movie seriously less exciting, even if its a clip of half the trick, once you know what it is it just isn't the same seeing it in the movie. Follow in skateboardings footsteps, keep that shit mad secret, dont even utter a word about it until the movie is dropped, because I along with a lot of other people I'm sure would love to be surprised this year.

Who buys ski movies anymore? I would rather buy a season of traveling circus with some bonus features instead of a pbp film. Stept and Toy Soldiers are the only ones i know im ordering.

seems like it should be common sense, right? ...

gotta make your movie look super xxxxtreme though!

Get Steve Buscemi to narrate and I'll buy it in a heartbeat. No need to show any skiing.

well that is because you are super underground, core, extreme, and love to stick it to the man...you badass, you.

you dont buy mainstream movies, theyre to played...you liked stept and TSP before anyone had even heard of them.

well apparently you do and i think a lot of other ppl do too. I personally would buy Level 1, PBP, Stept or TGR over TSP any day. not trying to hate on em, intro was sweet and i like their crew's vibe but the movie was boring and not that good

eye trips teaser was just as guilty. they even gave away ahmets s rail transfer, which was hands down the best urban banger of the year.

EDIAS took the cake when that teaser was dropped, they showed clips of tricks more tech than what was done in the movie.

none of that this year please, take after skateboarding and keep your bangers absolutely top secret until the movie is dropped.

if i remember right, session 1242 was about 45 minutes. and every time it ends, i'm so pissed that the credits come so soon and interrupt jon's banger segment. but that's a good thing; keeps me wanting to watch it over and over

Or because i have owned pretty much every poorboyz movie since propaganda...multiple msp movies/level 1 and you know what im sick of spending 30 bucks on the same movie every fucking year. Tsp because well they started in Montana and watching kids you been skiing with in the past its a good feeling to watch them killing it. Well Stepts i dont even need to explain some of the best urban. I dont really sit down and watch full length movies anymore....Sorry if im a hipster for watching a fun/free series and edits that i can relate to.

agreed. he sounded like a hipster angry that his favorite underground band got popular.

back to OP's statement. i too am sick of bangers being revealed in the trailer. sure i know they have to draw ppl in to make the moneysss, but COME ON!!!!

MOST SKI MOVIE COMPANIES ARE GUILTY OF THIS

I agree. They should shoot for less overplayed shitty electronic/glitch/dubstep music too *cough poorboyz cough*

even then, everybody already knew it happened, there was an article about it on ns even. is secrecy that hard? like its cool to be hyped but keep it within your crew.

In the era of instant notification by way of Facebook, Twitter, NS, and other bullshit, a good bit of the banger shit will be seen early. What has been seen might as well go in the trailer, right?

i don't really see how that's and issue at all. just like in the trailer you don't need to be giving away bangers in social media... it's easy to use discretion in what you post to keep shit a surprise for a movie. but skiers are attention whores for the most part so this will really never happen probably.
