Not trying to bag on anyone, but has anyone considered that this is ski movies coming full circle? If you want to pay homage to the films that paved the way for Johnny, Josh, Haveit, Etc. then consider the history of things. Blizzard of Ahhs and Licence to Thrill were the movies that were breaking ground at that time. Greg stump stepped out and did what he thought was missing in the industry at the time. A Film with human interest, but with some sicker skiing than the Warren Miller films. Then MSP came up and started filming some sick up and comers like Seth Morrison. TGR came along and asked Steve Winter to show them how to film skiing gorilla style. Although very similar in filming styles, TGR wanted to showcase a bit more of Jackson Hole. Then Johnny came along and did degenerates and 13, which exposed people to a completely different genre and filming style.
Next came younger cats with some awesome ideas like Rage, Berman, Theory 3, etc. These guys were able to showcase a different style of filmaking that showed less known, yet very impressive athletes doing thier thing. I love watching these types of movies as much as the next guy, but sick shot after sick shot after sick shot has gotten less interesting to me, because it is guilty of the same thing that people acussed the more established companies of... it's gotten old. I would love to see Poor Boyz take a shot at telling a story in a different way if they can do it. Being someone who's seen the windsurfing movie i think they can and I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But thats just my opinion. Of course, I could be wrong
