Last night, legends of the snow and surf world gathered for a one-of-a-kind film premiere in New York City. Chris Benchetler was joined by friends and fellow creators to premiere his latest film project Fire on the Mountain at SoHo’s World of Mcintosh Townhouse. For the first time ever, action sports and The Grateful Dead were merged together in a film of eclectic style, all narrated by none other than former NBA pro and sportscaster Bill Walton.

After the film, the event turned to a Q&A session with Chris, Rob Machado, Bill Walton and Grateful Dead founding member and drummer Mickey Hart. The session, hosted by GQ Magazine editor Will Welch, focused on the theme of improvisation, something that runs deep both with the Dead and with action sports, where now two lines are ever the same.
