yes, another ski movie. what did you expect: ![]() The Teddybear Crisis by Matchstick Productions the intro is f*cked up, to put it bluntly. Wierd imagery of teddybears getting mangled, and look and feel that's reminiscent of the cinematography of a clockwork orange makes it clear that this movie is going to be different right off the bat. and it certainly is. The cast is no less impressive, featuring big names like Tanner Hall, Mike Wilson, Simon Dumont, Jon Olsson, Henrik Windstedt, and a handfull of the young guys and girls that really push the limits, and depressed me and all my friends, because these kids were almost a decade younger than us, and about 10 times better. Aside from that, the movie is just sick. period. Perhaps one of the most chilling scenes is footage of the now famous 900 on chads gap by tanner hall, in which he stomped it going foreward, and then on a later switch attempt crashed, spectacularly, breaking both his ankles, and a handful of other bones in the mix. Gave us all a flashback of mike wilson's segment in yearbook last year that ended in his rediculous crash after undershooting his 180 gap jump. Overall, like WAR, the skiing is insane, the balance is great, great park segments and rediculous big mountain lines. woot.
