| Review Detail |
One of my favourite movies. Covers a wide spectrum of great riding - some of the lines are mental, those guys have serious bottle.
Lots of big mountain, which I like, but won't be to everyone's taste. The day glow suits at the start are amusing.
Towards the end of the dvd it gets a bit samey and I tend to watch a few of the sections and skip the rest.
Fairly long film and should have something in it for everyone. Really good seeing how the sport has progressed and hearing a bit of commentary to explain certain sections.
The wipeout section has some biggies in it that make you cringe - there's a horrible one of someone riding over a bare area and catapulting onto some rocks. There's a good one where the guy does a flip, then manages to carry on riding. |
|
| Strengths |
Lots of big mountain lines (not a strength for everyone)
Awesome riding
Good variety
Intersting commentary
Crazy lines
Good seeing how the sport has progressed |
|
| Weaknesses |
Difficult to think of any...gets a bit samey towards the end ?
I would have liked to see a bit more commentary?
Makes me want to go riding too much and is causing chronic depression |

finally got round to watching this DVD !!!! wish i`d watched it sooner. As an all round package this is now my favourite boarding movie. Being the best of the Totally Board series what you get is top notch boarding in almost all disciplines. There is something for everyone here : chutes, all mountain, butters, avalanche riding, pipe, rails, park, sick powder, heli drops and crazy airs.
The movie probably features more all mountain riding than anything else : but this is fine by me! :)
You get to see boarding from the early days including fluro/dayglo suits and crazy looking snowboards. Pioneers such as Dave Hatchett are featured. Plus all the big names are there, Jones, Haakosen, Olfason, Parker + a good section featuring Victoria Jealouse.
The movie features some of the best all mountain riding i`ve seen. Some of the riders appear to be travelling a million miles an hour with roosters soo big - they look like jet trails !!! :)
Some of the pioneering riders are descending 72 degrees peaks !!! looks awesome.
Music is very good too : some chilled out stuff and some high adrenaline rock !!!! not much commercial stuff either ; which is refreshing.
Can`t recommend this enough |

| Cool movie, lots of backcountry, although there is a bit of everything rails, big kickers and big backcountry. Some of the top riders, Terje, Jeremy Jones, Daniel Franck a very young Shaun White, Jussi and Victoria Jealouse. The wipeout section is good some mean spills and the comentary before and after is good, "snowboarding's not bad I don't see how you could hurt yourself!" class! |
|
| Strengths |
Good off piste back country riding
Some huge jumps off kickers and in the backcountry as well!
There's a bit for everyone here!
Decent lenghth movie as well which makes a change from most of the 25 - 30 min vids out there as well! |
|
| Weaknesses |
| Um thinking hard here, nope can't come up with anything! Good movie! |
