5 out of 5 stars Most Entertaining Ski Video Ever!    March 16, 2005
BobMama (Franklin, MA United States)
Those that were disappointed that this wasn't 100% sick skiing footage need to take a chill pill, or get a sense of humour. Just the cover pic lets you know this is goofy movie so why take it so seriously.

The skiing footage is insane, but how much heli footage can you take? That's why they break it up with Saucer Boy and all of the innovative ways they incorporated the sponsors. How can you expect a serious movie about McConkey if you know anything about him?

I've watched this dozens of times, and still am amazed at the skiing, and still laugh my ass off every time.

Too funny for words - our kids love it, and the White Rap is worth the price alone!

Oh yeah, the boy can ski too....


4 out of 5 stars SWEETNESS!!!    June 8, 2003
Okay, this isn't the most innovative skiing video ever, but it covers important parts of freeskiing hisory and how a rebel skier helped revolutionize it.
There's nothing sicker than a McConkey invert off of cliffs and the hugest switch fronts and backs i've ever seen.
There is also a cool BASE jump in Canada at midnight with Olympic god Jonny Mosely as the get-away driver...
Although most of the music in this is from Surfdog Records, it isn't all bad.
And there's nothing funnier than watching a white [guy] try to break dance.

I wish I had seen Edgy's review before purchasing this DVD. I was interested in a movie with skiing footage. This has about 25% ski footage, 25% base jumping, and about 50% stupid skits.

I purchased the vid given the hipe and because McConkey is an awesome skier. Having watched this back to back with some of other ski flicks... my impression was that the film was not of the same standard (skiing or filming).

The thing that bothered me, and everyone of the adults (expert skiers) in the crowd was the immature non-skiing footage. It really detracted from what could have been an entertaining movie.
