Hey NS,

Film season is upon us and I've been reminiscing about the movies that inspired me to ski. I want to start a thread on the segments that inspired everyone else.

Personally, mine is Candide's segment in Royalty (2001):http://inspiredmedia.tv/episode/classic-movies/royalty/. Candide's seg starts at 13:40. Royalty also has one of the best soundtracks to this day.

Post 'em if you got 'em!

JP Auclair Street Segment (from All.I.Can.) from Sherpas Cinema on Vimeo.

JP is one of my favorite skiers of all time, and this segment never fails to hype me (and also got me hooked on LCD).

also anything phil casabon has done, but keynote skier is always a go-to.

Good call on Royalty but I'd go Pollard on that one.

Legendary.

He got involved in mogul skiing again. If he had not gone back to skiing bumps for 2002 he would have stayed skiing AK and doing the X-games and he might have been skiing's Travis Rice. He was probably the best all-around skier in the world at that point. He went back to moguls and changed the game in 2002, he really should have won gold, with a performance that radically changed the way moguls were judged. Had he won the gold he deserved in 2002 god knows how much money he might have made. After 2002 I don't know why he didn't go back to skiing for MSP/TGR again, maybe someone else does. He ended up going in a different direction in life, which is fine, but he might have been Candide before Candide was Candide. He probably was the best skier in the world at that point and it is a shame he did not stay in the industry. He got involved in real estate development or something like that and I can't say I blame him. Regardless he was an absolutely transcendent skier who did a whole lot to legitimize freeskiing. The current industry owes him a big debt of gratitude. I still think he might have been the greatest skier who ever lived but it would have been nice to see just what levels he could have gotten to. He was one of the best big mountain skiers in the world, as evidenced by him destroying AK in The Realm, a gold medalist in moguls who revolutionized the contests and changed judging criteria and an x-games (I think, not going to look it up) medalist. The more I think about it he really may well have been the best skier who ever lived.

Yes JP's segment was so unreal and inspiring

Dropping SERIOUS knowledge. It was a shame that the Hollywood life got ahold of him after Nagano.
 
JP's All.I.Can segment for sure, The first 20ish minutes of Teddy Bear Crisis, other then that mostly edits.

On filming/editing level though, Finess by the Bunch for sure. Whether you like the skiing or not the way the movie flows and how the transitions between segments and song choices set the mood is absolutely amazing. The fact that they were able to put together such a cohesive movie with such a small budget is amazing.
 
Will in Partly Cloudy, Khai in Less, though I prefer the re-edit that's online, and every part from Cam and Clayton pretty much.

Rewatched the 86 the other day, Clayton's closing segment with that song is just too good
 
Tim Durtschi in The Dream Factory bc I'm a girdwood kid and it's cool seeing what can be done at my home Sage in Almost Ablaze with the crazy lights bc of the insane shots The Estonia segment in small world bc of a he classic feel of the whole thing

It really is.

I also wonder if the sport of bump skiing knows how badly they screwed up in 2002. What a lot of people don't know is that janne's twisters were scored higher than Moseley's 720. Had moseley won gold in 2002 it would have shown kids just how huge you could become in bumps. I think 2002 sent lots of kids away from bumps.
