Movie review: Saturation (***)
What I find a disappointing with Absinthe Films� Saturation, and all snowboard movies, is the simplistic MTV style formulaic presentation showing off each rider in turn 'performing' to a soundtrack.

I find that after watching a few of these movies they all blend into one and there is little lasting impression. I would prefer to see a more developed narrative thread, giving context to the awesome tricks and locations and the challenges faced by riders and crew to pull them off.

None the less, the movie has some great sections like Yannick Amevet riding steep exposed faces and leaping off lips with the kind of flare you might only expect to see on safer terrain.

Another favourite section was Wolle Nyvelt�s dam ride. Nyvelt rides the snow covered side of a dam making big turns onto the concrete with sparks flying from his edges. It is like something out of a video game and truly memorable (it would have been even better if we could have heard the accompanying scrapes rather than just the pasted on music).

There is more great riding but it was all over very quickly after only about fifty minutes, looking for more on the disc I was also dismayed by the paucity of the extra features - poor value for the �22 asking price.

The movie is billed as a 16mm film yet some shots had the flat coloured look of tape to me and I was not stunned by the quality of transfer to DVD as I thought I could see some pixilation occurring now and then.

Despite my reservations about the MTV format I still enjoyed the movie and the high energy soundtrack certainly got me in the mood for my next trip to the mountains. I would give it a three star rating.

Movie review - Absinthe Films "Futureproof" (and Pop)
On the strength of last years Absinthe release "Pop" (10/10 must have film) I threw down some of my limited ski/board DVD funds for this years version, "Futureproof". Futureproof is supposed to refer to the things about snowboarding that will never lose their impact due to time.

Justin Hostynek has always focused his films more on big mountain freestyle than jibs, cheese wedges, and rails and the end-result is usually more artsy than most ski porn. To me, last year's "Pop" was kind of revolutionary... starting with Travis and Romain destroying Chad's Gap, it turned out to be one of the finer snowboard movies in recent times....fantastic footage, smooth editing, a cool soundtrack. In comparison, "Futureproof" falls a little short of "Pop", but still delivers some fine moments.

the crew of talent is there....Ruf, Nyvelt, Amhvet, de Marchi, Muller
the locations...Haines, Hokkaido, the Bird, etc

Big mountain freestyle is growing up and the progression, while still amazing to watch, does not seem to have the impact it did when you first started seeing guys spin multiple rotations off of spines. Sure, the moves these riders are doing are incredible...maybe the feeling isn't captured as intensely in this film as it might have.

But it's all there. 540's off steep spines in AK, major sluff/slide activity, sick spine action from Yannick Ahmvet in AK, major cheese wedge booter spins, etc. Hostynek is certainly not short on riding talent.

While there thankfully isn't a single rap-metal song in the movie, Hostynek takes some chances on this soundtrack that don't always pay off. Gigi Ruf's opening segment song is Nina Simone....there is an intensity to the song that you can feel with the jazz track, but it doesn't exactly jive with the AK footage. The track has a lot of feeling, but it doesn't really gel. There are a few more downtempo tracks in the film that just ended up making me feel detached from the action on the screen.

The editing and the artistic vision weren't as unified as last year. A bit more choppy, disinterested feeling. Like you were being shown a lot of different riders and segments, but without the feeling that they were building on each other. And there were funny little animations that came on the screen during the movie....kind of like the logos that network TV and cable have taken to showing in the bottom corner of the screen. Cool, i guess.

The Hokkaido segment had some nice editing work in the beginning....stuff that you'd see in an art film and such...and some amazing pillow drops, too. Makes me want to go there to ride pow.

So overall I'm kind of ambivalent about the flick. I kind of wanted to return it to the store because there really wasn't anything striking about it. Sure, amazing progression and endless talent, but still...something held this one back from greatness.

I'm giving Futureproof a 6/10 as compared to "Pop"s 10/10.

evo.com has a 20% off their outlet items right now. They've generally got some decent prices and always have some sort of deal going on week by week.

I used to date a girl whose parents lived right by the killerdana surf shop. She swore by the place.

Here are two good places:
This place is like Groupon and if you get set up you will receive weekly deals. The first week had some good deals:

Active Wake had some good deals too, but I think they ended yesterday. Maybe they will still honor today:
