The Art of Flight // Review and Download


Chances are you saw this trailer for The Art of Flight months ago, well it's finally time. First and foremost the movie can be found for download in full HD on iTunes, aswell as here for free.. Now i'm not one to endorse the illegal downloading of snowboard films, ill leave that up to you. Although by the number of Redbull logos and heli's I wouldn't feel to guilty. Which leads us to the review of The Art of Flight. There are two ways to look at this film, the first as the highest budget snowboard movie of all time, or looking past that at purely the quality of snowboarding and cinematography. Lets keep an open mind here folks.

This is only the second snowboard movie ever by Brainfarms films, and lets be honest here, the cinematography is amazing. They have super slow-mo cameras and gopros on everything, this makes for every shot to be an unreal one. Never once will a rider go out of the frame, and if he disappears behind a knuckle they have 3 more cameras on the landing. My two favorite scenes happen in AK, the first of which involves the man himself, Travis Rice, dropping to a spine ridden, avalanche prone face from the leg of the REDBULL heli. I've never scene anything like it in my life. To top it off he may or may not throw a casual 5 on the way down. The other scence I found hilarious was during some downtime in AK, the woodsman is them came out and i'll leave it at that.

Overall the riding was on par with That's It That's All, which was rather disappointing. There seemed to be a lot more actual riding in That's It That's All. Art of Flight was filled with a lot more of a story line and artsy filming. Not necessarily a bad thing but perhaps a let down if you dropped you hard earned cheddah on it. Basically I felt it did not live up the hype set by both of its trailers.

Endcase, form your own opinion of The Art of Flight, go into it with an open mind. Sit back and enjoy a movie about helicopters filming helicopters filming snowboarding. 

Amateur Hour With PYP


PYPat King and crew's 2011 shred flick, Amateur Hour. Every year these guys seriously push the level of snowsports. The cinematography is par if not better than anything in the industry, and the athletes kill any feature put in front of them. The only thing that separates this from every other film out there is the lack of over credited sponsors and a hefty price tag. All for FREE? What more could you ask for, honestly.. The only problem I had with this years PYP film is the ratio of skiiers to snowboarders, nothing personal to skiiers, i'd just like to see a couple more shredsticks. What are you waiting for?

Jump Ship Best Trick

There aren't many better ways to spend one of the first sunny days of summer. Jump Ship has been on all week here in Victoria. It's the first event of its kind in Victoria, and a huge success. Hopefully keeping the Inner Harbor packed both days is enough to bring back Jump Ship next year. Props to Rob Fawcett for organizing such a good time and Brian Park for this video.

Dave Short Jelly Spines

Easily the most trippy edit i've seen all year, probably the best POV as well. Dave Short fucking sends it. Gotta love a big mountain edit in May. Props to anyone who's still getting faceshots this time of year.

Voleurz Takes Home 15G's at TWSSF Intersection

Six crews, seven days, five to seven minutes. Voleurz took full advantage of their talented team of athletes and threw together a video of what they do best. Honestly just be thankful we dont have to wait till next season for this footy.
UPDATE! Just saw Family Tree's Intersection entry. Blown away.. Speak for yourself, but i'm pretty sure Family Tree should've have taken this one. Everything from the music to the riding seems to be on another level. Plus they used fireworks, lots of fireworks.

Let us know what you think.

Face Shots in the Park?

Torstein has been dropping 'In your face' edits all year. This, by far, is his best yet. Triple corks? NO, triple kink gap to boardslide, kinky..

Quaked


Crazy Kiwi's making use of what they've got, which happens to be a ton of new natural features. Still can't over the first bail and how he just brushed it off like it was nothing. The music suits perfectly as well.

Scotty Vine

Honestly, fuck triple corks. Scotty's taking it to the next level. This guys the future.
