Ok, only for skiers, but if you ski, perfect! The plot is simple Swatch pay a group of American freestyle pro-skiers to be ski bums for a winter and make a film in the US and Europe.
What sets this ahead of the pack is the '86 contemporary sound track. Music by Propaganda, Belouis Some and Devonsquare lift the film to a higher level. It's no surprise Stump later moved in to doing music videos.
The skiing talent is top notch Hatrup stars, Plake appears for the 2nd half, and at least 4 of the others (Haslock, Ogren, Morrison and Whielland) were on the World Cup circuit at the time. The footage is excellent from the 1986 first Freestyle skiing world championships inTignes to the cliffs of Squaw Valley.
Add in some superb skateboarding action from Tony Hawks and Lance Mountain in LA, a truly bizarre segment on sleeping bags, and various other comic lunacy.
Just the last segment on Dune skiing lets the side down, kinda wished they'd cut that hence only 9 *s.
As ski films go, it doesn't come better than this.
