I remember one year my mom got me MSP's push way back and it totally changed my perspective on skiing. I'm just wondering what ski movie got you hyped on freeskiing

Strike got me into skiing, I got the movie together with some k2 twin tips for christmas 2005 or 2006 and I remember I was bummed because I didn't get a snowboard but when I saw the movie I realized how fun skiing looked.

"State of Mind" and then "Degenerates" from Poor Boyz was what did it for me (that and watching J-Mo grab mute in the Olympics). Some of the Degenerates segments are online now:

It's not a movie, but watching Jon Olsson take gold at X games with the kangaroo flip was probably the most infuential thing for me.  Then I watched Teddybear Crisis and my fate was sealed!

Warren Miller storm was the first movie that I watched, even though I was already into skiing.
It definitely made me more into skiing.

Yearbook was the first ski movie I ever saw, but the first movie that really got me into skiing was Eye Trip. I'd skied park for a year and a half before that movie, but I never really got into the community until after seeing what could be done on skis.

you have to try hard to fade into obscurity after a part like that.

I cant remember my first skiing movie, but I do remember what got me into freeskiing. I was looking up "cool ski brands" trying to figure out how to be a cool skier about 5 years ago when i stumbled upon Line Skis. It was back when they had that sick slideshow panel of videos, and pictures and stuff and the first video that came up was the very first Traveling Circus, 1.1 Will and Andy go to Hood. I think it was a couple days after it came out when i watched it and it was eye opening to see all the sick stuff you could do on skis. I would wait so anxiously for the next episodes to come out and i would always watch every episode back to back before i watched the new episode. I always still like to watch the very first one.

First movie that I watched over and over again was the VAST Awards DVD from 2006 or 2007. Perfect mixture of different styles of skiing, filming and utter bizarreness (that weird rabbit/key scene?).

Got it free in my SBC skier magazine, I wish they still did that.

Warren Miller. I was always into park since I was like 7 but I had no idea all of this existed. Broke my arm hitting a jump 2 seasons ago and basically spent a month and a half on the couch it was fucked up so bad. That's when I saw a trailer for Revolver. Bought that shit, it blew my mind, and then I found Newschoolers. And here I am today, knee high on a grasshopper.

the movie that stands out in my mind as the movie that got me most stoked on skiing was Pop yer Bottlez. PBPs movie from 05 or 04 i believe. seeing shaun and callum pettit in it was major for me, seeing as they are only a couple years older than me and they were like 12 when that shit came out haha
