File is 68mb but well worth the wait if you're into snowboarding. I still can't get over the dude riding through that avalanche...that's some fucking skill.

If you don't have quicktime download this codec for Media Player:

I know man. I saw that first shot of the moutain range in the theater and I almost got a woody. I'm actually watching some gear on ebay so I can head out this season in a little better shape (plus my fucking bindings broke last season).

nice, thanks for the link. that'll be a purchase for sure.

p.s. VLC or mediaplayer classic is the way to go.

they way they presented this, especially the last bit: "no wires, no stuntdoubles" etc, reminds me of Step Into Liquid

I've seen them but I'm not sure I like them. I think I'm going to get a high-end set of Burton bindings and pick up a board next year. The Cartels look tight but I haven't found a good deal yet.

I'm going to snipe these gloves:

And then I'll just need some nice khaki pants.

that does look pretty cool.

remember seeing this 15 minute short on bbc2 about snowboarders that started avalanches with small explosives (maybe fireworks, i forget), then raced ahead of them down the mountain. someone off-camera asked this lad what happened if you got caught up in the avalanche. the lad looked at him like he'd just fallen out a tree and said, "you don't"
