Matchstick Ski Crashes: What Goes Up Must Come Down

Matchstick ski crashes

At the start of every winter, the top ski action filmmakers like Warren Miller and TGR bust out their latest homage to Ullr. Sponsored pro athletes travel the world in search of epic lines and bravado for the camera. What we audiences of enthusiastic recreational skiers don’t see is the pain and turbulence behind those lines.

For nearly every stuck landing are multiple fails that are never seen. Talented editors make those athletes look like superheroes of the slopes. Well, Matchstick Productions compiled this little reel of crashes, slams and tomahawks from their latest ski porn- Return to Send’er. They remind us that everyone’s human. These guys just have superhuman balls…and rubber limbs.

 

River Surfer Gannett Horn

River Surfing

River surfing is a thing. Really. I wasn’t much of an ocean surfer because of the obvious- hard to paddle out, sharks, reefs, and I don’t live near the sea. But that hasn’t stopped river runners like Gannet Horn from finding his wave. 

River Surfer – an unassuming, simple, and community-oriented short doc produced by and promoted through ROAM- captures the heart of one man’s thrill of surfing whitewater. He’s not the only one, of course, as kayakers and standup paddlers have found new ways to play in the river. But you can get a taste of the “why” from watching this beautiful little short.

Utah’s Golden Boy Ted Ligety Masters the Art of Arc

Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Ted Ligety and X-Games Champ Antti Autti took to Snowbird last spring to shred some early morning lines. This short film follows the two as they cat and mouse through Mineral Basin and Gad Valley with a symphony of GS turns.

The concept for Art of Arc stems from something valued since Ted first launched SHRED in 2006; the love for the mountains. Of course, one of the best ways to celebrate your relationship with the slope is turning. Just watch these two lay down some sexy strokes.
