becuase it's just so cool, even us skiers talk about it instead of skiing
'you should probably get bindings or it will be hard to stay on your skis...don't get gloves tho, gloves are out. just use a cigarette to keep your hands warm' -221
'honesty is the best policy. just tell your boss his daughter is one fine piece of ace and she wants your boneware and you feel its only proper that you take her cherry. but not to worry, you'll lube it up and ease it in. like a gentleman.' ~ 221
lame IS better than ANY ski movie ever created. the editing and the tricks are creative, the soundtrack is lushious, and the whatnot is really know how.
id have to agree with mommy.. lame rivals the best of the best in ski movies.. Not to mention the riders are INSANE.. but thats because they ride EVERY day and that is there job...
no, you're wrong.. LAME is better tehn all ski movies. So is afterbang... Afterbang is at the level all ski moveis are still trying to reach, lame (from what I hear) is way beyond that level.
Afterbang is a benchmark by which all snowsports movies must judge themselves against. It is far and away the most entertaining, watchable movie i have seen our industry produce.
The thing is, people like to see movies that they can aspire too, but are not out of reach. Afterbang is funny, cool, and most importantly it hits a chord with the average rider. It shows flatland tricks, goofing around, small hits and people having fun.
of course there is a place for the aspirational film such as happy dayz; big mountain lines, huge backcountry kickers, massive parks etc. But for the average rider seeing shit that they could bust every day gets them stoked far more.
