Road to Zion ruined by Keynote Skier???

So let me start by saying that both were really good, but I saw Keynote first and it was goddamn next level. The only problem i had with it was that it was really annoying having to replay every banger every 20s because my mind couldnt process what just happened. On that note, while Zion had a lot of really good shots, there werent that many that left me there thinking "What just happened!!!" compared to Keynote and personally i thought Zion would be better than Keynote before i watched them. So since Keynote was soooo good, I had crazy expectations for Zion and I dont think anyone could have fulfilled them. So my advice is to watch Zion first.
Has anyone else felt like this?
Which one do you think is better?

your opinions are wrong and you should feel bad.
Zion was just as sick as Keynote Skier.

i agree, it was sick to see henrik killing it in the back country, but phil's urban was so unbelievably next level road to zion just couldn't live up. that coupled with it being about 10 minutes to long in my opinion.

to be honest i thought Road to Zion was much better. Henrik's dub off the giant death cliff blew my fucking mind.
both were good, but I thought Road to Zion was a much more well rounded movie, keynote skier just felt like a long (abeit good) edit

They're two completely different movies that cannot accurately be compared

OP, ya gotta not look at this as en either/or kind of situation. Both of those movies had some absolutely absurd shots in them, and they both have their merits. But I think more importantly, you shouldn't be looking at a ski flick only for the sheer face-melt factor of the tricks. You gotta look a little deeper at what each guy is doing on his own as a skier making a movie, and not get caught up in comparisons.
What you should actually be upset about is the fact that almost all of Phil's best shots got put out in the Armada flick like a week before he released his online. That's a real tragedy.

I thought road to zion showed Henriks's season really well, but it had a bunch of stuff we've seen before. I mean this when i'm talking about the filming of the olympics, x games etc...
