 Must-have March 25, 2008
Seeing such legends of snowboarding ride free in Alaska, jumping off 100 feet (and fall sometimes) ride down 60 degree chutes escaping avalanches is just what I was looking for.
I saw part of this movie on YouTube, I had to have it.
Mostly about the history of snowboarding, from the first Burton Boards to Terje Hackonen, to Shaun White, the movie takes you for a carve trough the history and the dreams of the pioneers of snowboarding.
Probably has less riding footage than other movie, but what you see here you won't forget ever.
Good also for the general public, is just a well done documentary on the sport of snowboarding.
Interesting footage on avalanche control on the DVD.
 Attention Sean White Fan Boys! February 25, 2008
This is a great movie if you like hearing smug little brats like sean white talk about how cool they are. The snowboarding footage in this is a joke. I cannot believe that reviewers have compared this to riding giants, which I found to be an amazing documentary. This movie is simply a forum for snowboarders to talk about how cool and "edgy" they are. I love watching winter sports flix, and I thought that this was a ridiculous waste of my time. If I had actually bought it I would be pissed.
Excellent February 11, 2008
great DVD... awesome images and gives a good idea of how a professional snowboarder lives. Besides you have all the sport story... Excellent
 Grat movie! January 3, 2008
Great movie, accomplishes just what it proposed to do, present the story of 5 top snowboarders in Alaska, while also explains and tells the story of the snowboarding phenomenon.
Nice and sharp picture! September 1, 2007
Great story and ok riding (well the last scene is sweeeeet!) I loved how sharp the video was...almost like the real thing!
