Was skiing and riding park before I really had access to videos. I guess I saw bits and pieces of stuff at the shops, mostly big mountain lines.

A while back I told my uncle to get me a ski movie for christmas, he got me TeddyBear Crisis and I had no clue that it was one of the best ski movie ever made, I wasn't really impressed by it haha. When I rewatch it I can really appreciate that movie.
Refresh was the first movie that I actually asked for Christmas and that I knew about a couple of skiers in it and that got me really hyped on skiing

The entire movie Forward. Probably watched that 100 times. Seth and Tanner in Ski Movie III, Mike Douglas in Propaganda, there was a dope WSI edit on biglines with an Aesop song that I watched a million times. All the Superpark footy.. The list goes on.

is barely two years old.

for me it was old skool warren miller films that made me want to send it off cliff into deep snow in the rocky mountain west. after moseley's gold in Nagano, '13' and 'sick sense' really got me fired up.

I'm old.

The first time I saw Joystick's Hot Lunch changed my entire outlook on skiing. I have never been able to recreate the same mix of nostalgia and stoke from any other seg, video, or movie out there.

I remember me and my next door neighbour watching the show and prove trailer REPEATEDLY before we went skiing on the front lawn. Built a little jump onto the street where we learned 360s haha. Then I bought ski porn and watched TJ and sammy's parts a million times.

tgr came out with a movie called uprising in like 1998, then like the first like jib/park movie I ever watched was PBP's 13, on VHS for gods sake. Both completely blew my mind, convinced my 12 year old insecure ass not to switch to snowboarding, that skiing was at least 100 times cooler despite what everyone was saying.

Would have to be Warren Miller Children of winter. When I was 12 I went to the premier at the Boulder theater and when we got there the tickets were sold out! But this guy comes up to my brother, my mom and me, offers us three employee tickets and says its your lucky day. I say thank you not knowing who it was until he shows up in the movie. So longish story short Chris Anthony got me into the Warren Miller premier and that's when I knew I wanted to do what the guys in the movie did.

Don't know the name of the edit, nor can I find it anymore but it was from 2007/2008, filmed somewhere in Colorado (Maybe Abay?) and had "I Believe" by Simian Mobile as the track.

My brother showed my Tom Wallisch's Super Unknown edit. I creeped on NS for a few years after, and fell in love with rap. It was pretty pivotal in retrospect.

Some Tom Wallisch edit, still good, and that simon dumont edit where he's wearing red and white. And at the beginning he's learning hand signs or something.
