I saw all the new movies at Freshtival this year (and have seen Enjoy). Believe is one of my favourites this year:
- Tanner stepping up big time, shredding serious pow lines and steeps/cliffs at high speed in AK. A few years ago I would've talked trash on Tanner's big mountain skiing but now he is pretty sick. There is one pillow line he does at Mica Heli in BC that is insane long with huge drops and speeds which he totally stomps, probably the sickest pillow line I've seen on film.
- Seth has some good shots, including the 150 foot double front (it is HUGE), I just wish they had multiple camera angles of that hit
- Good soundtrack, reggae, mellow electronic, new wave (Tears for Fears - Shout during AK seg = awesome)
- Japan and Mt Baker pow segments are sooooooo deep and good
- CR (although I think his SSD segment is better).
I rank this years movies like this:
1) Seven Sunny Days (best MSP since Focused), just an overall good MSP style film, bit of comedy, mix of park, pow, the wingsuit is actually entertaining to watch unlike BASE, park followcams rule
2) Believe
3) Lost & Found
4) Enjoy
5) PNW
6) Idea (I love the helmet cam and it has some nice jumps but overall I wasn't that pumped on it)
7) Yeah Dude (some awesome segments like Whistler pow and Durtschi but it felt way too long and too much urban, even though I'm from Calgary I got bored of two full urban segments)
