Saw this movie last night. I really enjoy the documentary type skis films like "The Seth Morrison Chronicles", "Something about McConkey", and this one.
I thought this one was the best of the three. I really enjoyed hearing about the start of big mountain skiing in Alaska and the revolution of fat skis. The footage of Kreitler going balls to the wall was great too.
Highly recommend that all see this flick.

Agreed, but I still likes TSAM the best. Now when will TGR put out a film about Nobis?

Also agreed....its one of the best films in a long while. The only bad part is that's a tad too long and a little wierd when they discuss his "assholeness."

The early footage (long hair, longer skis) is hillarious.Kill all the telemarkers
But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

I'm stoked, first I've heard of it but 100% agreed! My favorite types of movies by far! Also really dug TGR's dream factory, MSP's Superhero's of stoke, and let's not forget Candide's Few Words and I really don't care what people have to say but I thought Level 1's Refresh was diggity... I have a legitimate interest in the what the cats that made it doin what we do and how they did it, their personal struggles are no bullshit and the work/sacrifices put in is more than worth the respect and the story is always something amazing! It's a different world now for all of us because of those guys and what they gave up for our sport, much respect.
Fear, Doubt, Disbelief, you have to let it all go. Free your mind!

Owens Never Sleeps and ....Rob Story.
