        Overall

        This is THE best jib movie of the year, if you want urban and BC booters in a fun playful format then buy this movie... if you want big mountain definetly look elsewhere though

        Design

        Good design, i REALLY liked the booklet thing with the athlete interviews it comes with in the dvd, I was really disapointed though with the design/color of the t-shirt the movie came with, like that grosse mellow yellow, so nastey...

        Value

        Up to far value, there is a fair amount of bonus features and that makes it worth it...

        Quality

        Movie was good, decent case, came really nicely packaged with a good quality cotton LSS t-shirt, not much to say about quality other then I was satisfied in this category

        Content

        To me this is a jib movie, if you want all sorts of jibbing, I.e. urban rails, bc booters, and some park, this IS the movie to buy in 06-07, if your only buying one movie and want a good all around movie that has everything, look elsewhere, but as I said, if you want the best jib movie of the year, LSS is the one... only thing it lacked was some big mountain riding and better music, LSS usually has amazing music, it still had the best this year, but it wasn't as good as it was in the past in my books

        Overall

        Definitely up there for the best movie of the year, my only quips about the movie are some segments which I felt could've used more shots such as the backcountry segment with only three shots of Loic Collomb-Patton and the obvious hours of footage we want of Vanular killing it. Although some of the music wasn't that driving, like the Japan segment which I thought was still good as it showed the reserved nature of Japan and its difference in culture but Dan Marion's and Alex Balsen could've used a totally different song and Downey could've had a different rap song, perhaps some DL Incognito instead of whatever he had. Other than that, Berman makes another melt your face off movie as he definitely knows his shit. Can't wait for a full segment of Vanular next year.

        Design

        The design this year gave alot more background information with the booklet, which I thought was a nice addition, and had a creative dvd cover of the tree stump jib

        Value

        Same value as each level 1 movie that's came out each year. Plus more bang for your buck with the free booklet.

        Quality

        Shrink-wrapped package came to my door 5 days after intial shipping and I've had no problems so far.

        Content

        Following the success of shanghai six, berman put out a phenomenal movie with some of the best editing in the industry and sickest up-coming riders. He always seems to get breakthrough parts for the hard working riders and it shows for segments like Stefan Thomas, Colby West, Cedric JD & JF, and Liam Downey. There is also a ton of extra footage that didn't make the movie itself, I think it's about 2 hours, that could've been in the movie itself from park shoots to overseas trips to Austria and Japan. Some interaction in the sponser section of the dvd would've been better than the repetitive blowing snow gun.

        Overall

        Its the most balla shit eva!

        the japan segment made me extra happy

        liam downey's segment by itslef is unbeliveable, the best in the film by far

        corey vanular is a god in human form

        and COLBY WEST deserves a segment as good as the one he has in this movie, its the bombdigity


        try to find the exta hidden bonus features if you can


        this movie needs to be owned by every skiier in the world, whether or not you like level 1 is irrelevent, you will love this movie

        Design

        Cover shot of stefan thomas is quite nice, just like his segment. the booklet that came with the movie is a realy nice touch and fun to check out. and the t-shirt is comphy as well (for all you pre-order guys who still havn't gotten it yet)

        Value

        This movie is one of the greatest ski films i have ever witnessed. it is worth more than the price they sell it for, and it will without a doubt in my mind win movie of the year.

        Quality

        This movie is amazing, every shot is a great shot, every edit is put together miraculously, and the entire movie flowed well with the rube goldberg machine theme device. The film is Uber Quality and has redefined what you thought gnar tricks were.

        Content

        The skiing in LSS was downright amazing, and it never faded from good to bad to better, it stayed amazing the entire time. Gnar Urban, Freakin Rediculous backcountry, and the park sessions were so good... sooooooo good... like i don't even know what to say about the keystone shoot and corey vanular, it was too good. Liam downey has also reached legendary status with his segment.

        it was also cool to se the dual skier segments, russle and coker, balsen and marion, teamed up for really really good segments.
