I couldn't resist, I just had to say something about this: First Descent : Snowboard Movie

The trailer on the firstdescent site isnt the same as that one, so thats why I posted that link.

Now personally, I have nothing against snowboarders, and some of my best friends ride....

But this movie, and the way that trailer is presents it just makes me think...

"WOW! You guys discovered big mountain! Congratulations!"

Not really the fault of the riders or snowboarding itself, but the producer/director. But then again, target audience is probably your everyday gaper. I dunno, I'm bored so I just threw this up here.

Anyone else have thoughts or comments on this?

it so cheesey when it says no wires no stunt doubles noe specail effects

 

[radskier]

^yeah, but have to say though, pro snowboarders go so huge sometimes it's sick. but I totally prefer skiing

 

[ry.will]

It may be lame, but are we getting big time movies made about our sport produced by Universal? I think not.

I like how they used the song from J.P.'s segment in War. I don't think they did it intentionally, but really they could have used a millions other songs and they chose the same one...

 

[skieveryday]

I'm thinking they probably haven't seen JP's section in WAR? Just a thought.

 

[heavymetalwinner]

^ im sure they havent seen JPs segment in WAR.

 

[peter.doubleu]

ya I was thinking that. Like no shit its a snowboard movie. When I first read this though I thought it was acctually called "first decent snowboard movie"

Hah, that looks so fuckin cheesy. And I think having a heli carry you to the top of a mountain and then riding it doesn't qualify as a "first descent", but don't tell the gapers that will be lining up to see this that...

 

[Tasche]

haha Im glad twin tip skiing isnt main stream.

 

[Matty.]

[olivier]
