  World Premiere MPLS 10/7 “VEER” INTRO—TONY WAGNER AND MIKE LIDDLE

We made four movies this year. That’s right. Count ’em. FOUR. All for your enjoyment. So enjoy the intro with Tony Wagner and Mike Liddle. This one also stars Jesse Paul, Jordan Small, Melissa Riitano, Nirvana Ortanez, and plenty more.

With Veer, six riders set out to reinterpret urban snowboarding in their own creative ways. The smaller roster highlights each rider’s take on tricks and terrain in a dense, action-based, intimate ensemble format. Shot primarily in Midwestern locales, Veer avoids the bells and whistles that have become the snow porn norm, in favor of raw action that is as relatable as it is inspiring. Directed by Dan Tyler. 

Check out the full thing at the world premiere on OCT. 7 in MINNEAPOLIS, MN! RSVP for a free ticket here!

 

WHO CARES

A diverse and dynamic group join forces to make movie magic. Ryan Kenny operates the cam and stitches the footage. Darcy Sharpe gets his in the backcountry, Charles Reid continues to power through pow, Ryan Paterson gets better every year, Jamie Anderson takes Olympic stomping skills to Revelstoke and Dustin Craven shows ’em where to go and how to do it. 

Can’t wait for this one. World premiere in Whistler October 11th, get tickets, presented by Gibbons Aprés Lager.

Buzzin - Young Doli

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=Wqc-SRG-Q1I

It’s all ping pong and shiftys in this one. At first I was wondering what buzzin meant. Slowly as the story unfolded I realized that these guys were buzzin the whole time. Buzzin off Corona, buzzin off vodka tonics. They had a hotel room party. It was three dudes dancing and one girl hanging out on a bed. Fear and loathing in SoCal. I’m backing the stranger things interlude music. Especially the girl who failed miserably at shotgunning a beer.
