i sort of disagree, i just watched alot of snowloarding traiers, and the decent-good ones realy are nothing special...its the same shit as skiing, big bc booters, tricks in big mountian...
however, more, this movie, and anohter one or two i forget, teh best/epic snowboarding movies are clearly way better than most skiing movies today, and most snowboarding movies.  its the combination of the best riders, the best filmers, are immense creativity on both their parts.
in conclusion i think the whoel snowboarding movies>>>>skiing movies is hyped up way too much, but the epic snowboard movies are punch-your-mom-in-the-face awesome
