Out on all VOD channels tomorrow. One time only free showing on the homepage during the live stream, don't miss it. And get hyped, it's a crazy movie!
 
Im so stoked for this! The STEPT crew has been through a lot to progress skiing. Im excited to see their work as a professional media company rather than a group of friends who got really good at filming and skiing. I have a feeling the nostalgia is going to hit hard on this one. Ill have to probably watch Weight first to get in the right mindset.

That was fuckin wild

i didn't love the editing, wish it was more beat music, but the skiing and shooting was top shelf and crazy

to avoid spoilers I'll say that my favorite shot is easily that you know what over you know who's gap (not chad) and landing perfectly so deep on the landing
 
Impressive flick.

Stept homies continue to slay the game in terms of cinematography after all these years.

Not sure how I felt about the darker vibe in a lot of the scenes (Baker, Sweden ending). Was a cool look but inhibited the skiing, at least I thought.

Baker road gap double front was the ballsiest send in the entire flick, IMO.

Wild to see some of Travis Rice's gaps and hits from the Art of Flight days getting re-created in Jackson. Now if only skiing could keep up with "Travis Time" instead of being a few years behind. ;) But in all seriousness, Jackson features were badass and watching Crazy Karl tee off was insane as always.

Lastly, in the closing seg, was that the Interstellar song from when they are on the planet with the waves?

Well made flick overall. The X Games jump shots got kinda weird with the cartoon/NBA vibe, but still pretty awesome.
 
Honestly... Line TC 13.2 was more enjoyable to watch than Salute despite it being a web series. Probably gonna get nuked to oblivion from this comment.

This is good enough for me. Buying and watching tomorrow night.

We need to encourage this sort of thing. I’d love to have one movie I’m super pumped on each year. Sick of forgettable web edits.
 
Havent watched it yet but I feel like slow music and dark vibes are like the hallmark of a STEPT movie. Pumped to see it

I see where your coming from. Salute was defiantly meant to be a tribute to free skiing and less of a hype banger. I feel If they did that park seg. in Andorra it would be better. It also doesn't help that TC 13.2 was one of the best TC to come out in a while.
 
Is it possible to buy a poster of that Jackson Hole rodeo 7? I think that shot might be as legendary as Candide's original cork 7 over chad's

How is that shot not the closer... great movie, such a different vibe than everything else. That 7 was just nuts. When Travis Rice hit that gap in TITA it was the climax of an all time movie. It's crazy to see it just sprinkled into this video. That whole Jackson section was such a throwback to TITA, some of the shots framed the same way, but some shots cropped completely different and some in-runs built differently too. Henrik is such a student of every movie that's come before that it's cool to see the crossover to snowboarding history. Awesome movie, well worth $8.
 
While the shots were absolutely incredible. I actually didn't love the soundtrack or the vibe. HH is incredible but something just didn't quite click.
 
It was a really crazy thing going on... Noah’s shots from realski had no where near the impact they did in his realski part mainly due to the soundtrack. For the backcountry shots the vibe set by the music was really nice, but I wish we would have got a bit more of the hype that henriks comp section had
