I watched this film not for snowboarding but for seeing the Alaska mountain. That is sole reason. There is no other reason. All those interviews by snowboarder are the typical thing of the past that did not interested me. Same old lifestyle of gun-ho people. I don't consider these snowboarder as adventure people. They are lazy folk from White middle class nothing to do with their life just playing gamble for their live.I actually did not saw most of interview people. I skipped most interviewing scenes. Their talk is same old talk. The interviewing are quite boring. But I gave two stars on this film for showing Alaska mountain scenes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It puts you in a great mood. There is one amazing scene after another of snowboarders doing insane freestyle and big mountain riding. The mix of the new generation riders (Shaun White, Hannah Teeter, and Travis Rice) with Terje from the 90's and Shawn Farmer from the early days of snowboarding (late 70's through 80's) gives you the full spectrum of different riding styles. The movie jumps back and forth from these 5 big names doing a trip together in Alaska searching for some back country riding to the documenting of snowboarding's history. I feel the two different focuses kept it more interesting and made the movie more enjoyable. I don't think the movie was too over the top in its effort to promote snowboarding nor do I think it exaggerated its impact on the ski resorts or the world. It seemed balanced, realistic and factual from my own knowledge of snowboarding which dates back to the early 90s. If you're a soccer mom that watches Oprah and soaps most of the time this may not be very exciting to you but if you have a love for sports, the outdoors and some excitement you should be able to enjoy this very easily like I did.

This movie was like going on vacation. Gorgeous mountains in Alaska, great rocking music, and a hell of a story about the birth and development of snowboarding. I found it very entertaining, and could look at the landscapes all night long. Plenty of things I didn't know about the development of the sport as it came along after my snow skiing days were over. Great athletes with wild attitudes - lots of old footage of competitions as well as X Games clips - the art of capturing this footage as if your were on the board yourself is a great rush for a middle-aged lady like me. I'll be taking some friends to see this one.

WOW, i just saw the previews for this movie, i would have loved to have a chance to film it. Its my dream to film snowboarding and i believe this will be a great film. I'm starting out to film locals for a small time production company. This will give me great ideas how to take it to the next level. I think its a sweet idea to get 5 Generations together and have them talk about how life is with snowboarding. It will be very interesting to see how the sport came to be as it is these days. There are many stories told on how snowboarding became what it is. Cast in point, in the movie Out Cold. "Did i ever tell you that i invented snowboarding, I didn't want any credit but they kept giving it to me. I believe that this movie wont be a big hit to the Major public, but to the people that have snowboard as a passion it will be AMAZING.
