If snowboard/ski porn is on your list of things for Santa to stuff in your stocking this year - what are the recommended titles?

 

I'm thinking Mack Dawg's "Picture This" is worth a watch - Shaun White, Jeremy Jones, and my fav - Jussi Oksanen.

I wanna see Believe- Tanner Hall and Seth teaming up- (after Tanner went independent a few years back and Seth left MSP as well for like the first year, EVER. Surely, they're up to something.)

 

I also REALLY wanna see Linescore. The 2006-07 World Tour Big Mountain tour documented. It's the first time the BM tour has been documented into one feature. I'm quite sure this film will wrap up the core of BM riding more than any other film. (although winkinc did a kick ass job with The Waiting Game.)

 

I'll order both of them from actionsportsvideos.com one of these days when my credit card happens to be on my kitchen table and not in a drawer in my room. (that's how lazy I am.)

I bought a bunch of new dvds this fall

 

Linescore - Pretty cool except it was filmed during last seasons American crap season so the skiing isn't as sick as it could be. But pretty cool.

 

Lost and Found - Sick TGR vid as usual

 

Yearbook - Pretty good dvd from MSP. Couple years old though.

 

The Hit List - Good dvd from MSP from 2 seasons ago I think. Same year as Tangerine Dream which is a sick dvd.

Agree with Toque's list but I'd add TGR's "High Life" to the list- a few years old now but a very fine film. I preferred it to Anomaly, Tangerine Dream and Lost and Found.

 

If anyone is a fan of Jackson Hole (or just TGR ) - get "The Big One" - it's a 10 year retrospective of all TGR's films looking from a JH perspective. Great film.

 

Tanner Hall's "Believe" is very, very good and very surprising. It's not just a jibbing movie - there's heaps of good powder, big mountain etc. It's beautifully put together. There is a Niseko segment in the main film and another in the extras.

Picture this was short. Its Ok if you want your porn to look like a Beyonce music video. But the riding, except for a couple of shots, is not that stoke-inducing.

 

Way better is Absinthe's 'Optimistic'. Or if you are really as into jibbing as you would have us believe, Think Tank's 'Thanks, Brain' is for you.

 

I stall haven't watched the new sandbox flick, but will checkit out tonite.

i actually watched both picture this and optimistic this morning personally I liked picture this more then optimistic because I wasnt that fond of the talk scenes in optimistic and I just liked the video editing more in picture this, although I dont think it was an exellent 10/10 video it definitely was good.

Picture This is still okay, but it's a huge let-down after MDP's last two season's releases. It was far too short, many shots were far too artsy (distant, through the trees stuff where you can't even make out what trick is being thrown), and their "we had no snow" excuse for such a short movie was pathetic when all they had to do was drive up the 405 to the Pacific Northwest and Vancouver were Standard and Absinthe got pow & BC shots galore. Optimistic I enjoyed much more and believe is the second best video of the season, the first being Blank Paper's "In Short", which is like nothing I've ever seen. However, if you felt there was too much talking in Optimistic (where?!), then you won't like In Short.
