May 28th, 2009 at 10:58 am

May 28th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Whoa! That editing was intense
May 28th, 2009 at 11:06 am

May 28th, 2009 at 11:49 am
killlllllla caliiii, that was dope
May 28th, 2009 at 11:51 am
that was so awesome.
titties to say the least!
May 28th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Same shit as always from this guy. Ridiculous special effects with half ass snowboarding. Spend about a quarter of the time on actually filming rather than after effects and someday you make make a real snowboard video… which isn’t something that they post on msn.com. Start doing special effects or snowboarding… not both.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
AMAZING EFFECTS!
May 28th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
What a hater, Why don’t you spend more time snowboarding that hating on people. I’d like to see what you could do… I bet your riding your mom’s couch right now.
Creative video.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
knife Show you never cease to amaze me…awesome.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
sick effects and editing. somtimes a little confusing to see all the shit that was being thrown down, but what ever you did look at it was bang’n. big ups for sure
May 28th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
No. A video like this belongs in a film festival, not on transworld. Creative video, but not a snowboard video.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
that was my favorite editing. the vids keep getting better. im just amazed, at a loss for words. thank you Mr.B for the inspiration
May 28th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Editing and special effects are legit. The snowboard shots are very half assed. You can give any kid a 3ccd cam and get the same shots.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
making clone movies is mad easy but time consuming as hell; all you do is do it in layers and mask things out, not hard, especially with snowboarding (hardest part was prolly the high five, which is a joke too really
you can notice it at :43 how the table shifts a lil bit–that means the camera angle moved a touch or something moved.
i like his vids and all but they are not hard, just go dl AE from somewhere and youtube the stuff (cloning, teleporting, lightsabers, etc), you can do it all in a couple hrs.

ok the thing is for the one dude talkin crap like always, a lot of work went into this video, filming and editing. but let me axe you something, since its so easy to make these videos, where are they???
great vid, they keep getting better and better, all the themes and ideas is what makes knife shows videos stand out
May 28th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
watch :43 and it doesnt look like its because of the camera. the soda also moves and i think its beacuse he leans over the table to grab that thing
May 28th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Because I’m not a special effects artist. I never said his AE was easy. He doesn’t know a thing about SNOWBOARD videos. He knows a lot about AFTER EFFECTS. He keeps working on making his effects better, instead of his filming. That’s why he’s a joke in my opinion. No serious snowboard film maker will ever look at this kid on a serious scale…. not one.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
F- YEAH BENSON!!!! ……F- YEAH!!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Obviously no one else makes em because no one wants to be a copycat(and giving credit where its due hes the best at it). I dot think he was hating, just staying it not as crazy as some might think. The editings sooo sick but like justin meyer said in his interview, editing and filming these days is starting to take away from the main goal, the riding itself, at the end of the day its still just a nosepress, but still sick vid.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
JUSTIN MEYER: “a lot of videos these days are focusing on the filming aspect and forgetting the actual snowboarding to an extent. Kids are hyped to be on a dolly behind some bush when they don’t realize they just filmed a nosepress from the front in slow motion. Most videos are influenced by some Moto-X bullshit, or some kinda stuntman shit I would think. There are only a few influenced from skateboarding, and even fewer that do it legit.”
May 28th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Justin Meyer’s quote is EXACTLY what I’m talking about. Couldn’t have said it better.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
why are people hating…the snowboarding is pretty good in this and the angles are set up so that you can do all the AE and what nots…where is the problem? Mike and Casey did a sick job…they planned out everything, set it up, and EXECUTED! They are on the forefront of the creative side of making videos and props for it
May 28th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
This was sickkkkkkk, so entertaining. Dont think anyones really trying to hate, just stating that its aactually not as hard to make then most think, either way im watching this over and over.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
that was dooope!
May 28th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
F/ck this sh/t it is f/ucking terrible. BEEEEEERRRRRR PONGGGGGG! Mike Benson die please. Please die. Please?
May 28th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Dear Mike. Please join me in creating my next feature film. It is apparent that you love flashy images and effects more than actual good snowboarding. Thats great because I care more about flash effects than a good flick as well. Your portrayal of how “rad” snowboarders are because they love to take a break from riding to go play beer pong was breath taking. You should win an oscar for once again making snowboarding look so completely lame. You’re truly an inspiration to all who don’t actually know anything about snowboarding. Thank you.
-Steven Speilberg
May 28th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Knife show kills it.
Riders are sick.
editing is top notch. stop hating on this shit.
u all are just bummed ur video didnt get on transworld cuz ur riding blows or u can film for shit.
Stop complaining
May 28th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I love being insulted by kids who don’t know the difference between your and you’re.
May 28th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Exactly
May 28th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
No, he doesn’t kill anything. Every once in a while he’ll film a decent rider, but the shot itself and shot selection is horrid.
This kid should make videos for disney. Bright lights, giants, and clones.
May 28th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
agreed
May 28th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Last part was the best, putting everything together!
May 28th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
shouldnt of said anything back and let the babies cry. you girls are just gonna sit here and wine all day. typical american, sit at home on the computer
May 28th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
sicktorrrr!
May 28th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
ok to film a story like gnar wars flashlight giants and this is something i have NEVER seen from anyone. If you watch ANY of wrightsmans old vids on youtube its simply good riding….filming a story like this while riding a normal park is unheard of and it should be appreciated….. something new ya know not jumping off cliffs into pow?? :58 says it all…
May 28th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
word u seriously dont know shit this guys are all about snowboarding watch some other vids that arnt on transowrld…anyone can film a normal all snowboarding vid with good shots……..these guys bring something new to the table that is entertaining to watch which is exactly wat snow vids are supposed to do…stop hating
May 28th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
the vid isnt about jus snowboarding man…….this guys could make a all snow vid no flashy affects and it would be just like everything else u haters like to hate on on transworld..enjoy somethan new….
May 28th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
that was breathtaking. i really dont see why people are hating on the riding, i thought that was incredible too. better than most web edits ive seen.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Your all just hating, Whether you think so or not. Keep it up Mike B your shit is sick.
Also, people can have different interests and it doesnt make it wrong. If Mike B wants to focus on his special effects then let him do it, theres no reason to hate.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
You guys think this shit is easy? Do you know how much planning and patience it takes to do this stuff?
Mike B’s work is dope.

Hey Joe, please define “Real Snowboard video” for me
May 28th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
I mean “Word” not joe
May 28th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
I’ve seen a clone in a video over 4 years ago.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
LOL really? You can’t even defend this guy, so you resort to childish attacks. Typical American? Cry babies? Grow up dude and learn how to take criticism.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
This video doesn’t even hold ground to the others on this site. THOSE are legit snowboard videos. THIS is a joke of a snowboard video. Crappy filming crappy shot selection and overblown disney special effects.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Good shot selection, good filming, and good riding. Take a look at any of Carlino’s videos. Then watch a Benson video. They don’t even compare.
A real snowboard video is one where you can look past the effects and still see good riding, shooting, and clean editing… not just crazy special effects. Adding a ton of special effects to EVERY SHOT doesn’t make it a good video.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Transworld these days wasnt like everything else, and it didnt have crazy editing or dolly shots…hmmm weird. But Mike B only does park edits like this so it make sense with all the efect which is cool, if it were a full on movie with big name riders id be dumb.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Your retarded he was reaching across to grab a bag of chips and he hit the table look before you talk!
May 28th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Wow a lot of hatred from “Mr. word” which wont display his real name, its ok, there are people like that in this world. Critisizm is ok because it helps give feedback but when you are on here dissing something that somebody worked so hard on and talk about how easy it is but at the same time, you post with a false name because you dont have anything to show for yourself which obviously true otherwise you would of had your name which to look up on a snowboard video. But about the typical american is semi-true about sitting on the couch living with your parents and dont have a job while you sit online dissing people because you have hatred for yourself otherwise you would be doing something else besides this making people like me waste my time to help you understand. So heres what you should do: Watch this video and other videos, try to understand the videos and what it takes to make one (time, money, filming, editing, weather) whatever you like, and then post something worth while/mature, give some feedback (good/bad) and have a nice day, only one post needed, if you need to keep writing back arguing because you feel the need to prove yourself over the internet, then go on aol in a chat room and do so. Or you can show your real name and have some videos/photos to back yourself up. The thing is i just wasted my time because you make a few fake names on here to talk crap, but I dont mind trying to help people that have nothing in their life but to do this.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
you’re welcome
May 28th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
No point of trying to talk about Word because hes just gonna argue back. Either gonna use the name word or make another fake name to act like its somebody else. word tries to say videos like this ruin snowboarding when in reality its people like this that ruin snowboarding, people that have this bad attitude and cant enjoy peoples work and art and riding skills. i am not gonna say anything more about this because it has already wasted my time, i cant imagine how sad my life would be if all i did was go on here dissing. Mike Bensons video are amazing in the way that they add something different to the everyday snowboard video and are interesting to watch, well for 99% of people i guess, of course there are always going to be that small percentage like word that feel the need to respond more than once and critisize everyone who enjoys these videos. i dont give a shit what else word and his other false names has to say
mad props Mike, good work. keep em coming
May 28th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
link it up or it doesnt exist.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
so only PART of table moves idiot. that’s bc of the masking. geez i love people that have no idea what they’re talking about.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
i wasn’t saying the videos are bad, i like the videos and think they are good
everybody is just like this is super amazing effects. im just saying anybody can do it (the effects that is, the snowboarding is real good and a lot better than mine) and the EFFECTS are not that hard, they are just super time consuming.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
i thought this vid was rad. it entertained me and thats all that matters. check out
http://thebangshow.blogspot.com/ also
May 28th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
im not really impressed. i respect this mike benson guy and all they time he puts into his videos but its getting kinda lame. dinosaur costumes? beer pong? skateboarding in snowpants? do u actually snowboard mike benson or are u some wannabe hollywood filmer in the snowboarding industry for the wrong reasons or what
but i respect your work
May 28th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
yeah! go team
May 28th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Dinosaurs=Air Blaster
Beer Pong=Fun, nothing wrong with that:)
Skating=Snow on the ground idk???
May 28th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
weak park riding & half ass effects, i don’t want to see lights & the same weak style in every shot. try again Mike. better luck next time.
May 28th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
ggggggggg well i like them.. like alot so jose keep ur comments to ur self.. it hurts the heart!! casey reads this, dont u know wouldnt you if u were anyone cool enough to be on this sick site.. you should wanna be his friend.. you dont even know him friday nights at the zites house is monsterius… fridge and all… all u can drink.. and if you are lucky enough you can even get to be in a knife show video, they always film me for there extras. So watch what you say, you probably don’t even know him.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
dude casey is fuckin killin it this year!
May 28th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
christ…….its a video….
May 28th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Dear word & Friend,
I would firstly like to thank you personally for being the non-artistic, uncreative and boring as hell snowboarders that you are. It is clear to me that you can’t appreciate the portrayal of Snowboarding from a different viewpoint than most general Snowboarding media. It appears to me also that you are blind to creativity and like to have the same old shit knocking around on the web.
I would like to invite you over for dinner at my place in the farkin desert so we can talk about you becoming a poilitician. Because you are obviously an ass-hat.
Kind Regards,
George W. Bush
May 28th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
the shit-talking here is unreal. that video was amazing, as mike’s usually are. if all you kids think that benson’s videos are “so lame and easy to make”, then shut the fuck up and try to get your apparently existent masterpieces on posted transworld.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
idiot…”download AE….” yeah, ok ,pirate some adobe software…
i hope you get caught pirating software tool.
benson is a g.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
amazing!!!!!!!!!!
i like his vids. show me more!!!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
That was amazing. How could you hate on this? Knife show keep killing it!
May 28th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Not even words can explain.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
word…heres something to think about. theres skate videos on transworld snowboarding. they post videos that include snowboarding or any related activities, including skating sometime…and including well edited videos such as this one.
its not your site and theyll post what they want. and if you think anyone gives a flying half fuc of a care about what you think, youre wrong. this goes for anyone else who posts any comment, including myself.
cool vid.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
anything is easy to do after its been taught. i guarantee you 98% of the people that post on this website wouldnt have a clue what to do if they opened up after effects and tried to edit a piece like this.
i can read a book about making money off the stock market but that doesnt mean its gonna happen if i invest. reading a tutorial is the same way. knife show makes it look good, it would never look so professional if some random fuc read a tutorial and did the same.
i find it really funny you spent time posting all over this to argue your point though.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
special effects werent added to mask shitty riding. he was just messing around.
youre some shit fuc critic though. stop tryin to pull ebert and roeper shit on transworld. freak

May 29th, 2009 at 12:35 am
the shit talking on here is laughable at best….yea so what putting layers in a video is nothing new or special….but it’s never been done the way it’s been done in this one…most people don’t want to spend the time and put in the effort to do it.
i just love how they culminated all their previous video effects into one video….that was pretty dope
May 29th, 2009 at 12:35 am
hey look! http://vimeo.com/4877927
May 29th, 2009 at 12:38 am
word is SO COOL! i wanna be just like him when i grow up!! all angry and pissed off and shit and pissing in other peoples tea for a living
hey word…here’s some friendly advice….go shove a pole up your ass till it sticks out your mouth so we don’t have to hear your garbage anymore
May 29th, 2009 at 5:44 am
Yeah nice, Knife Show is always awesome!
May 29th, 2009 at 7:30 am
What’s the song? Sick vid btw
May 29th, 2009 at 10:12 am
hahahaha right on, fuckin haters
May 29th, 2009 at 11:06 am
so that wasn’t real?!
May 29th, 2009 at 11:11 am
why can’t all you geeks enjoy some good snowboarding???
May 29th, 2009 at 11:29 am

May 29th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
how can people say the riding was lame…i thought it was pretty dope he has a sick skate steeze which sticks out in my opinion…sure there were no double cork twisty flippy bullshit but this is the kinda riding that makes me wanna go shred anyway….good vid good steez…mad props too u guys keepin the fun in snowboarding
May 29th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
ZITE SHOW!
May 29th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
fuckin ZITE SHOW tool bags…fuckin pep nips
May 29th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
ok, all of you player haters out there. first of all is that you guys are jealous that my penis is bigger than yours. then you guys are just jealous that this fool rides way better than any of you will ever in your life. this was straight up legit.
May 29th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
knife show has the greatest videos…
May 30th, 2009 at 8:05 am
so sick
May 30th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Theres a difference between just getting artsy shots and not focusing on the riding and telling a story and not focusing on the riding. I agree that we need to get cak to the skate influences but for something like this you gotta hand out props because it is just a STORY with decent riding.
May 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Word is a DUMB BITCH
May 30th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
May 30th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
word do you just sit at home and jerk off to negative comment beef, i think you do or else you wouldnt have commented 20 times on this vid, stop being a douche bag…thanks
May 30th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
casey wrightsman can suck my dick, worst dude
May 30th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
braindigger, i think thats what everyone is getting at, but seriously so much time probably went into this so i think it makes up for the riding, and im 99 percent sure that not anyone can do this if, you have ever edited videos you know that it can be frustrating and agonizingly slow, so yeah
sooooo sick, i loved it, props too mike benson, that must have taken a lot of time to make but it was so worth it, very cool video, hope you make more, the riding was decent and the idea was was great, and to lucas and mark g from above, i totally agree with all of what you have to say and word, you should really do some self evaluation, you haven’t attempted to do something cool like this, so until you do shut up please, it gives the comment section a really negative vibe and no one likes it
casey wrightsman, nice job keep progressing
mike benson you have patience beyond my wildest dreams, keep the videos coming.

knife show is soooo ill
May 30th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
damn.
video was hella sick.
the editing and song were put together nicely.
kinda trippy but sick!
May 31st, 2009 at 1:14 am
I go away for two days and there’s 100 comments towards me. Most of which say I am a loser for posting online all day…. ah the irony kills me. Benson is a joke, his videos are a joke. This isn’t hollywood, this is transworld.
Shit like this will be the donwfall of snowboarding videos. Whats next? 3D aliens? How about snowboarding robots? Give me a fucking break. How about we just do a clean good snowboard video? Nope, gotta mask it with special effects because he doesn’t know shit about snowboarding.
I’m sure it’s all the mountain high kids on here defending this crap.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:22 am
casey. YOU FUCKIN SUCK DOOD knife show is gay. thanks
May 31st, 2009 at 10:39 am
im just waiting for you to post a video that you have made. a “real video” that doesnt have all the special affects to mask your shitty filming and editing. or maybe you will put in some of those affects that are soooo easy to do. maybe you will even be able to do half of the tricks that cartwright did in this vid, i doubt it tho
May 31st, 2009 at 10:44 am
totally served!
May 31st, 2009 at 10:45 am
i apologize for mistaking the riders name, it took me so long to read all of these comments that i forgot who it was. and it was carlino that posted this vid. so when u say that no serious film maker would even look at this and then reference carlino as one of those film makers it doesnt really make sense, cause obviously he respects it if he posted it here
May 31st, 2009 at 11:33 am
holy hate fest batman! as far as PARK riding goes, that kid was killin shit. but i see where people are comin from with the criticism of the riding, its still park stuff at the end of the day. the shots were pretty good, but i see where you can say that it sucks cause there was too much dolly work, like every other fuckin video, but thats the trend so whatever. Knife show should do rider intros for videos and call it a day.
May 31st, 2009 at 2:21 pm
word, look at it like this: if mike benson can throw all this crazy shit together, u dont think he could make a more average snowboard video? he easily could and he is just trying to bring something fresh and unique to the table. These videos are meant to incorporate snowboarding with mini films and effects; They’re not meant to be all about the snowboarding. Mike Benson is innovative and I think its sick. If he wanted to film a completely normal snowboard vid that is all about the riding I promise you he could. Stop hating on him for doing something different and unique
May 31st, 2009 at 3:18 pm
I would rather not post my videos just due to the hatred that my opinions would bring to them.
My videos don’t matter though. As if you need to be some top notch film maker to be able to criticize other peoples films. That’s like saying any movie going audience can’t form an opinion about a movie they just saw because they don’t have the ability to make one.
I’ll be the first to say I couldn’t make these effects. I’ll be even quicker to say that I would never want to make these effects… especially in a snowboard video.
Carlino posted it because he knew the gapers would like it. You think every video he posts he likes? Give me a break.

GW,
You are the perfect mike benson fan. You are a redneck from Texas who doesn’t know shit about snowboarding. You think all the flashy lights and monsters are cool and look pretty. I’m sure they make snowboarding look super fun to you. If you were ever interested in riding with all these cool creatures and lights, there’s a place for you at mountain high here in california. At mountain high they welcome people like you who have never snowboarded in their lives, and they have top notch filmers like mike benson. I’m sure he’ll put you in a video with some super cool effects so no one sees how you actually snowboard.
Enjoy your retirement GW,
-
Someone who knows a little about snowboarding.

Woww its when i see that kind of comments that i figure how full of shlt this community is.

Serisouly you guyz gotta get the fvck out and fvcking ride you stupid bunch of turboblasted fagga nitch.

hey dumbass word and speilburg, look at it like this: if mike benson can throw all this crazy shit together, u dont think he could make a more average snowboard video? he easily could and he is just trying to bring something fresh and unique to the table. These videos are meant to incorporate snowboarding with mini films and effects; They’re not meant to be 100% about the snowboarding. Mike Benson is innovative and I think its sick. If he wanted to film a completely normal snowboard vid that is all about the riding I promise you he could. Stop hating on him for doing something different and unique

No, he can’t. He tried to make regular videos a few years ago. They sucked ass so he started adding in tons of special effects to hide the suck. Ever look at his shots? Every look at the riding? The giants of big bear is a perfect example. Out of frame, same tricks, and shaky follow cams. Without the special effects that videos was worthless.

i saw this video on newschoolers and the kids on that website talked less shit than they do on this website. I agree the snowboarding isnt amazing but seriously how many kids do you see in the park who can ride as well as casey wrightsman. Plus i noticed that in alot of the shots there is hardly a change in light or shadows meaning that he would basically have to land his tricks back to back. plus i like the editing and the end is really funny. “was I at least doing something legit?”

Honestly sick video mike love it.
To all the people bashing, snowboarding has always been about friends and having a good time and i know that is what knife show is all about. Road trips with the homies, drinking a few brews and editing up some videos at the same time. Its all having a good time with the friends while you can still board.

sick ass edit video and tricks love it and big props !!!1
June 1st, 2009 at 7:15 pm
id say ur pretty much a prick, who ever said snowboarding has to be one way, its all about creativity. Yeah some shots might not be good but does that matter? Still gets the shots, adds some twists and makes watching videos fun and interesting.
Rather than the same typical shots over and over again.
June 1st, 2009 at 8:23 pm
when i saw knife show produstions, i knew i was in for a treat. Shit dominates. Nuff said
June 2nd, 2009 at 12:28 am

June 2nd, 2009 at 12:30 am

June 2nd, 2009 at 9:45 am
hey retard bear mtn. is in the 909! dumb ass chubby kid! sag your pant a lil harder and think your all mafia. you got shit to claim and you just a punk ass bitch that like’s to run he’s mouth. theirs more then half the trick in this video that you can’t do! so stick to your back 180 and tail taps cuz thats all you got! let us see when you got some new trick, oh wait you don’t make it on the website. so shut up!
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:46 am
Too funny! Someone posting as me. Do you really think I would come on here to bag on someone else’s video? Do you really think I would use the word “Dood”? If you know me then next time you see me why don’t you go ahead and tell me in person all the stuff you just typed in your message.
If you are referring to Bear Treats being the same thing over and over, then ya it basically is. It’s called a video series and it was done every week in the same park. How about you go out this winter and make a web video in the park every week and see if you can do it better.
Have a nice day.
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
You can say what you want about me. It’s not about me, it’s about these wack ass videos.
He couldn’t do the typical shots if he tried. He can’t even do a steady follow cam. He doesn’t still “get the shots”. He gets half ass shots and tries to cover it up with disney special effects. It’s sad. It’s not snowboarding.
June 4th, 2009 at 10:25 am
why cant people be stoked on good riding and a sick video that was in no way half assed. I feel like there are so many kooks that comment and hate where ever they can. Why do it and rip on his angles when you could suggest something, just seems screwy to me.
Keep going knife show.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
This has got to be one of the best snowboarding videos i have ever seen. i was watching an old warren miller film earlier and it was all back country riding, not that its a bad thing. it just got boring after a while. i could watch stuff like this though for hours! {D
