Maybe you don't quit understand the movies concept. It's clearly a history lesson/homage to how skiing started in AK and how it has evolved. Given that the Jones brothers were part of the first wave guiding and filming up there, I see no one better to tell the tale.

It may be to complicated for you.


BTW. during filming South America is in the middle of summer, Utah, Colorado, and Cali didn't even have fucking seasons.

Yeah you should probably stop around about now.


Sick trailer, riding was good, crashes were gnar and the music was dope. I'm buzzing to learn a little more about the history of Alaska freeriding, since it's pretty much were it all started off.

50% is shot in AK
20% in BC
20% in WY
10% some exotic locale

I grew up back east too, but I could relate to wanting to ski steep terrain.  I spent all day skiing bumps growing up, and it made me want to go to places like Squaw/Jackson and see real steeps.  I guess people in this day and age ski more park, and many simply can't relate to looking for steeper terrain.

I like the trailer, but I was not as pumped as I hoped I would be.  I see big powder faces, and some big lines, but I'm not seeing the crazy spine lines of OFTR.  I hope the actual movie delivers this sort of terrain.

I have no problem putting an entire movie around AK.  I would also be happy with no urban and minimal park.  The problem I have is that I'm not seeing lines like Sage's Hotel Room from Under The Influence, and that is the sort of stuff I want from an AK based movie.  Hopefully they just didn't include that stuff in the trailer.  Given how sick AK was last season I was hoping to see some crazier lines.

It's TGR man. Spines will be slayed. Have no fear. As long as Sage walks this earth, no spine is safe.

This. Usually I don´t get that stoked on it but man this looked sick!

Kind of weird to only film in AK but whatever. With the stept guys the urban won´t dissapoint.

I have never bought a TGR movie but this year I think I´l skip MSP´s flick and go for TGR. MSP´s last movie was a huge disappointment

I guess I'll be the one to point out the fact that Alaska got all the snow this winter. When Utah, California, Colorado, and pretty much anywhere south of the PNW got full on skunked for winter, while the further north you went in Western North America the more snow they got... expect most big mountain ski videos coming out this upcoming fall to have a lot of Alaska and northern BC.

Skiers follow snow, the snow fell in Alaska... seams simple enough to me.

True Dat.

I should make it clear that the trailer DID pump me up, and I have loved every TGR movie ever made.  I saw lots of sick stuff, I was just hoping to see a couple more spiny sections.

You are correct though, I have no doubt the movie will deliver that sort of stuff.  I also have a feeling, given how monstrous the snowpack in AK was last year, that we will see some huge tricks off of cliffs. 

TGR always delivers.

I'd be really surprised if they released a clip of someone dying, but if he didn't he probably got really fucked up.

we would hear about it if he died.... I'll bet he is fine because even if he broke a bone like mac last season we would still know.

Not the best trailer, but I've really liked the past two TGR movies I've seen so I might get this.

sound at 2:13 or 2:14 is straight out of vengeance essential club sounds...If any other producers no what I'm talking about. Not that this is relevant at all but I love hearing sounds int songs that I've probably scrolled through in my samples library a billion times...

i think admitting that you would be bored of a movie based mostly in ak is more or less proof that you dont, in fact, "love a dope ak segment as much as the next guy"
