Been a Level 1 fan since day 1 and I'm not even a big urban/jib guy, but I am super impressed with this movie. The skiing is top notch, the editing is unreal, and it's great to see most of the all star roster back together for it. Nicely done, boys. Thanks for 20 years of stoke.
 
Watching the end credits and realizing that it wouldve been rad to have Henrik, JF, Compton, and Delorme come back for just a few more shots in the last movie!
 
Will/LJ/Khai segment was a highlight for me, Khai’s part was so perfect. Also, seeing Wallisch and Bdog together was sick because they’re both stylish as fuck but in totally different ways. 10/10 movie, just behind Sunny and Turbo for my all-time Level 1 power ranking.

Was impressed by that dude Khai as well. He was greasing everything he ski'd. Like I said, I'm not a huge urban guy but they kept the urban shots interesting, unique and impressive so it was fun to watch.

Watch the credits!
 
Truly a masterpiece. Some face melting skiing, a great soundtrack and killer vibe. Well done Level 1, thanks for all the inspiration over the years!
 
Not sure how no one has mentioned Parker White's seg. Guy is without a doubt the most well rounded skier throwing just about any trick off those kickers in the BC. Tons of switch landings. That shit was insanely gnarly and hes only getting better.

Kilbrides part also went so hard, love that they gave him his own segment. Urban jump tricks get me so hype

I love how in P White's podcast interview with the Powell Movement, he said he didnt get too many good shots last season because he had an off year and couldnt really put anything to his feet, lol. His BC hits were nutty.
 
Definite banger. Really liked will wesson's, ldm's, and keegan's parts. Was stoked on the wally/hornbeck/bdog reunion part, and also lucas wachs cuz he's from my home mountain. Also always like to see what Sami comes up with. Loved seeing what people are doing now in the credits. Solidly top 5 level 1 movie.
 
definitely one of the best L1P flicks ever, there are usually 1 or 2 songs I immediately recoil at or a segment or two with weird vibes but Romance is front to back quality. A few of the drone shots were a little over the top in terms of spinning around and shit, but I thought most of the drone shots were pretty cool and not too obnoxious. All of the skiing was dope, no silly urban acrobatics, monotonous jump segments, or B-Grade pillow skiing. I was worried that the sami ortlieb segment was going to be gimmicky and basically the same as that awful segment in "Into the Mind" (worst movie ever) but the animation sami did was really fun to watch and didn't come off as gimmicky at all.

Biggups to [tag=3424]@JoshB[/tag] for 20 years of the most consistently good ski content out there. Biggest standout segment for me was definitely [tag=135457]@LWachs[/tag] that shit was nutty
 
was really hyped for this and it absolutely didn't disappoint. I've always loved level 1 because the skiing always comes first. the lifestyle and athlete interviews are short and sweet, they never let it get in the way of the shots but they somehow still paint a beautiful picture and tell a great story without the tacky lifestyle/travel stuff. bummed this'll be the last we see from them for a while, but stoked they let all of us join in on the fun the last 20 years. #bangersonly

ps splurge for the 12.99 4k version from vimeo, its frckn gorgeous.
 
Level 1 released their first film about 10 days after I was born, been a b day tradition ever since. Sad I wont get one for 21, but it was a hell of a ride. Romance was a fuckin masterpiece
