Not Another Ski Movie: Review

Yeah so I picked up my copy today and here are my thoughts:

Intro 1: they have this 8mm timelapse driving through the north and all of the sponsor logos appear on an animated TV on the animated dashboard of the car. The animated steering wheel has an armada logo on it. really cool.

Intro 2: lots of scenics and timelapses that are super rad, and some falls. put to a song by Interpol. lotsa 8mm and every clip is edited on the beat.

Intro 3: a very odd song plays while shots of a lightbulb factory and its various processes go on, then a tv newstation is shown, a librarian, a streetcleaner, and a garbage cleanup. each little scene introduces different riders. the actions of each guy are on the beat, its really rad.

Henriks part opens with him (not really...or is it?) on a motorcycle doing a backflip and such. then his part is totally hesh, he kills everything and kills it like only the scandinavians can.

hmmm, i've only seen it twice....so lets see what else i can remember.....

Niklas Karlstrom's part is cool, he backflips off a roof with no jump to flat and does some killer BC shit. his lips are huge by the way.

Random seggy with like 10 different riders. its the shit. its put to some like techno music and there are all these 8mm timelapses of Japan. then there are these slow shudder timelapses at night with all the blur and those are sick. once the skiing starts the graphics are so gnarly! skulls fly outta the riders, building pop up in the mountains, and other very crazy shit happens.

Jon's part starts with him wearing a tuxedo jacket and some jeans walking toward the camera with his lady. he dosn't have a car and she leaves him so he rides away in style like only the swedish can. his seggy has like 20% footage that can be seen in X but tons of other more banger stuff too. its put to a song by the foo fighters.

Overall this movie is totally bizarre but in the best kinda way. its not like anything i've ever seen and its totally sick. Oh Stian kills it in the backcountry, as does Sage and Simon. but y'all knew that.

Go buy this movie you'll be glad you did!

yeah, props to push films for this flick. johnny and the other guys at PBP told me that they basically had a finished film that they could have put into production but instead took another two MONTHS for additional editing. it really shows, too

Very sick review. I wish more people did them like that instead of just a quick 'This movie sucks don't buy it!' or 'Kicks ass buy it! Sweet riding and overall sweet skiing!' Thanks man it was very refreshing.

im saying this is the best non iberg edited ski movies. so much good random stuff but they manage to pull it together and make it all work and the guy before olenick and olenicks parts are prolly my fav. edits ever such a sick and creative section, i didn't think this movie was going to be this good but man it kicks ass and then kicks your moms ass too.

i like the overall feel of this movie, it's just chill. very sick footage too, and i like the soundtrack better than X... so did Henrik really do the MX backflip in the beginning of his seg or was it someone else??? sick, nonetheless

I really don't see what all the fuss is about. The film was a VERY,VERY normal edit!
It only had one part that could have taken a lot of effort to make, but it was wayyyy overedited! It's was okay (the Kjetil/Olenick/PK/Jacob/Favre part) but it was too fucking random! It could have been great if the whole film was like that, but it's a really fucking slow film, except for the weird part. So it just doesn't fit. A lot of loose ends were given at the start but none were tied and when the credits started rolling I was like:
'Huh? That's it, this is what people are calling the best film of the year? I smell BS.'

If you bought the DVD, the three bonus edits, one song lenght each, are dope, better than the film, I'd reckon.
