Idea was the best ski movie ever. So much creativity and progression. I thought it was a piece of art.

This entire movie is unlike any other ski flick. Its all about three of the best skiers in the sport that happen to be good friends, spending there witner traveling and skiign together as friends. Think of it as three good ski bum friends with an unlimited budget to do as they wish with a winter.

These guys didnt do this film to be "progesive" the skiing in here is just how all three of them want to ski. They use poles sometimes, sometimes they dont, they go forward, they go backword, sideways, upside down whatever. To them this is skiing in its purest form. No fucking rules, no care what others think, just three friends having fun, skiing what and how they want.

In otherwords this movie is about opening your mind to skiing in its purest form.


Don't like poleless skiing thats cool, dont like skiing with poles thats cool too.

If you dont get IT yet, than let me help you out... the whole It is that there is no IT.

This flick is about skiing in its purest form...... having fun and not giving a fuck what people think. This is what these guys did with there ultimate winter... you might do otherwise, but this flick is all about skiing and not caring how we each get down as long as we are having fun..... since FUN is what this whole FUCKING sport/lifestyle is all about!

So open your fucking mind and realise that there is nothing wrong with snowboarding and that its FUCKING BULLSHIT to try to SEROGATE the two.

Skiing and Snowboarding are the same fucking thing.... just getting down a slope trying to have as much fun as possible.

For the record, I'm gonna buy this flick. I love they way these guys bring it. It's not all about how big you can take it, it's about how well you can work it.

all it is is skiing, having fun on two planks of wood(and in some cases, foam(soy) onto your feet) no matter the sidecut, camber, length, or pole or poleless. I personally think poleless is ghey, but whatever, hes having fun and making sick ski vids....so what. its stoke, people will get stoked to ski, and its really just all about the skiing,

Grant, your images have always been far and above your spelling, but that word SEROGATE might just be one of your top ten creations.

The whole thing is that in my eyes these guys could be performing the same manuvers with there poles. But there not. They are doing some sick shit. But my question is WHY no poles? I don't get it. I am a big believer in that "it doesn't matter how you get down the hill (skill level, equipment, etc.) as long as your smiling." But I don't get the no poles thing. Why? Am I missing something?

Skiing with no poles is ghey. Poles are part of the equipment used to ski. What is the point of removing them? Skiing with out poles is like kayaking without a paddle - you can do it, but it is not that fun and it looks stooopid.

I think people should stop criticizing other's individual choices, but people should also stop licking these guys' asses.

Its gross. Really.
