The Eighty Six Review

Today, the nice guys at Stept Productions let me take look at their new movie, The Eighty Six. The movie can be purchased on Stept's website for $19.95. For those of you who haven't seen the trailer: (no embed on iPad) http://vimeo.com/46670956 Stept really shows their filmmaking skills in this movie. With a great line up of skiers, and a good mix of urban, park, and backcountry skiing, Stept flexes it's muscles and shows us that they are really a front runner in the ski filmmaking industry. Shea Flynn kills it as always. The movie really surprised me with how good it was. Watch out Level 1 and Poor Boyz, Stept is coming through. Now for my two pieces of criticism: I liked the riders, but I think they each deserved segments, rather than small parts in an edit. The music was ok, but I think for the next movie, some better music choices should be made. Overall score was a 9/10. Say tuned for more movie reviews! Thanks, and always, Splice On.

watched it last night. splices review is weak. the movie is real sick filming editing wise. probably the cleanest looking ski or snowboard movie ive seen. and they kept the theme of "86" throughout the movie which was sick. if i had to find a downside I would say it was a lot like a technine movie, tons of slow mow, not a lot of crazy tricks just crazy spots. but thats not really a downside so, whatever. its sick. they did it well

yeah youre right. since i snowboard i should have no ties to the skiing world. theyre two totally different things and one should never overlap the other.

didn't enjoy it as a film as much as I enjoyed weight, i felt that the sound track was a little bit lacking and it didnt have the soul and feeling that weight did, but that's all my personal preference and opinion.

the skiing was absolutely incomparable to anything I have ever seen in a movie before, and that's whats really matters. I've watched it at least 6 times now. muy bueno

Watched it today, and for me its easily my favorite stept movie and an instant classic must-have movie. The editing was terrific, and although at first I wasnt into a couple of the songs, i think the music is very good overall. The skiing was very good, and I loved the creative urban spots they found. My one critique is that I felt the movie was a little short and definately could have used a nick martini banger reel to take it to the next level. Overall 9/10

Didn't really like the sound track, skiing was amazing, along with cinematography. You should buy this movie.

i do most of the bad filming. all the good shots come from eheath, napes, jordan, and AJ. you lost again. anyone that says im a filmer obviously doesnt know their ass from their ankles. i know how to press record and focus, thats about it.

instead of making a thread about it, ill post my review in here. stept is legendary for amazing movies. and boy did they deliver! the skiing should go in the mind=blown thread. every athlete brought their A game and rocked it. there wasn't one segment i said, ' well that blew". the style of the cinematography was incrdible. it fit to the movie and brought a certain ambiance to the movie! definitely made the movie awesome. now addressing the music. i have seen a lot of complaints about the music in the 86, however i thought it went pretty well with the movie (maybe i just have different taste). the soundtrack in wheight was awesome and this was really good but not equal to whieght's. all in all i give this movie a good to go on buying. i think stept has absolutely great dedication and makes dope movies. def get this movie NS! or at least see it somehow, its worth a look!

lots of respect to be giving to the Stept crew for their hard work and dedication on this movie and to showcase a portion of the sport that does not get legit documentation. That being said, great movie!
