I thought it was really really good. Henrik is a major reason I started skiing park and I love watching anything he puts out.

Thoughts?

all in all I thought it was pretty Jah.




but seriously Henrik seems like he has so much fun no matter what kind of skiing he's doing. I thought that really showed.

Didn't like Henrik's choice in music but wow, the skiing was on another level. Henrik proved he's the king of backcountry jump sessions with double after double on insanely huge jumps.

not complaining, but there were a lot of shots from oil and water. Otherwise I loved watching him rip big mountain and the misty off of the rock was dope.

This was the thing i was not a fan of from keynote skier and road to Zion. Both movies were outstanding, I just wish there were less recycled shots

The thing was that Oil and Water used the shots from Henrick and Phils movies.

I thought that Dollo murdered it, it was rad to see a primarily park skier ripping bc lines

This movie shot its way to top 3 favorite movies. Dollo always had a smile on his face and it spread through his shots too me and that really made me hyped to ski. Plus I like raggae so that was dope too!

I loved the whole movie in it's entirety. The whole vibe was awesome and had some great music/editing as well.

As always, there was plenty footage of him showing new tricks and styles I've never seen him do before, which is amazing. He not only crushed the comp scene and BC jumps, but also had some steep lines in there which is awesome to see him doing.

This movie reiterates the point that Henrik is one of the best skiers right now and putting 110% into the sport every damn day.

There's politics behind the scenes that won't see the light of day.

All I can say is don't judge the movie on this.

The love that the whole ski community has shown warnick is incredible. I dont expect anything else but i just think its amazing that we can all care so much for one another. Some of those shots of him got me to tear up for sure.

SIP

I also though the film was super sick. Props Dollo

When I saw it at the Premiere at UB, I really couldn't make out the writing at the end. I watched it again today and read it and my god. So many feels. It's pretty awesome that he added that to the movie though. I have a lot of respect for that. SIP Tom.

Road to Zion was dope. I really have nothing bad to say about it at all.

Great movie overall! Really liked the music too.
And I don't really mind watching recycled shots of that quality in different FREE movies. For me, there is no reason to complain about that!

Well henrik is probably the best skier right now, and I am usually of the opinion that you can´t determine something like that. The skiing was insane!
But I just can´t fuck with the soundtrack. Ruined the entire film for me. Props though.

Its insane he essentially made a 20 minute self edit where not only was my attention held the entire time but it was blown shot after shot after shot.

Shit was so fucking good I actually couldnt believe it, already have given it three full watches.

that wasn't no misty off the rock son. that was an OG brany flip. anyway best movie of the year hands down. ive watched all of the new movies except for poor boyz, but if poor boyz puts out something to this level i will be impressed. i doubt it tho, that was easily , easily the best ski flick to come out this year.

The opening trick is another trick never done before. I would call it Down-Syndrome-Chicken. He would have won if he did it at Olympics.

spoiled, straight spoiled... Theres maybe 6 recycled shots in a 26 min. Movie, same with Keynote. quit bitchin, the movies are FREE and absolutely outrageously good.

Back in the day Major productions recycled shots heavy and you bought those movies. Keynote had maybe 10-15 recycled shots in a 15 minute movie. you guys have crazy standards

Heni's best work yet, that shit was, shall we say, " inspiring," but on a serious note, the shots were on point, and it was new stuff for the most part that really captured his style and life in an artistic impression. WUTAMG IS FUR DA CHILDREN!
