Replying to 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!
