Videos That Don't Suck

Though I've called it "Videos That Don't Suck," some do. I remained unbiased by comparing each video to what I had eaten recently. So, if you like descriptions such as "fruity" or "gaseous" scroll down and read on.

The rankings are on a (worst) to (best) flake scale, based on movie running time divided by the number of dumb snowmobile filler footage (excluding repeated segments of course).


Freedom  
This new film by Jorli Ricker and Jacques Roiseux brings us just where you'd expect with names like that...Canada. We begin at Blackcomb Glacier in British Columbia with Marcus Egge, Jason McAllister, Jason Chatfield and Derek Heidt busting inverted 9s.


Got Game  
Jason Moriarty's seventh beat on boarding is a bit biased. OK, it was all a big K2 promo. That doesn't make it a bad movie. There are surfing segments alone that make the movie worth watching.


Kapow  
In it's tenth grrrrrrreat year, Fall Line Films focuses again on freeriding — fun, stories, narration, animations, clamations, funk... did I say fun?


No Man's Land  
When segments got slow, you knew something had to change and just pray it's not your favorite betty boarder being asked the same question as the 12 before because it cheapens her answer. Thank little baby Jesus they didn't do that to Tina.


Snow Blind  
This nice little selection from TransWorld Media (issue 5, #1) gives a well rounded riding excursion to the Canadian heartland. Sequences mixed in with profiles allow insiders to taste some gems.


TB7: North of Heaven  
Standard Films again has put the "fun" back in the fundamentals of snowboarding videos. This year's cinematic standard sticks to the 16mm quality combined with constant exploitation of the vastness of interplanetary terrain.


Whiskey 4  
The trials and tribulations of Teddy Schucks is intriguing, sickening and often tiring. The initial openening hucks had me amazed. They had hucks for openers! You can't do that. Then we are introduced to Teddy's troubles.
