Summary: Great film on snowboarding
Comment: I really enjoyed this film on snowboarding. It had a lot of great elements from the best boarders out there to the guys who once were as pioneers of the sport. I loved it that they filmed it in Alaska and had some sweet shots of the mountains and terrain.

Summary: Great Snowboard Action
Comment: Young and old star riders meet up and rip big mountain powder. Stuff of epic proportions. Minus one star because it was too short and because I should be there riding, not here watching this dvd...

Summary: Fogtown Films
Comment: A great in depth look into the history of snowboarding from it's backwoods roots to the megapipes of today. Beautiful cinematography with a good story to wrap around the documentary. A must see for any Soul Snowboarder.

Summary: An interesting perspective on the snowboard world
Comment: This movie is a nice change from the standard snowboard movie. It takes you to Alaska with a well-varied group of riders, from multiple eras of the sports evolution. Along the way, they give you an interesting history of the sport in a way that supports the overall story. A key part of what made the film interesting is feeling like it was a special and meaningful experience for each of the riders involved. Everyone had a different reason for being there, and something different to get out of it.
I wish there were more films made like this, that capture a special moment in time.

Summary: Overview of snowboarding
Comment: I loved the parts about the history of snowboarding and the last run of Terje in the end. You won't find many runs on big mountains as Standard Films movies, but overall it is very entertaining.
