08/09 : Park City Mountain Resort : I Ride Park City

Review:
All you want to do the entire time you watch this movie is go jib Park City! I really liked this movie!! It has a very playful and simplistic feel with the one-location focus. Set to a very chill but upbeat soundtrack (including some Face to Face, which always wins), Aaron Bittner, Torstein Horgmo, Erin Comstock, Torah Bright, Shaun White (and the list continues) make Park City their playground. You can’t watch and not be jealous of the boxes and features that makes each rider part so captivating. I was really impressed to see two full-length female rider parts that held their own in jumps, jibbing and rails. There is more female representation in the extras as well.

The cinematography is phenomenal. Video quality is not always top, but the arial shots are excellent. There is also a variety in the cinematography, with cameras from air to ground, and they aren’t just stock shots. The heli shots are saved for the big air junkies like Torstein (I don’t think he can hit anything smaller than a 100 foot table top!). The movie is edited well which carries through the mellow yet motivational feel. There are not many extras, some of the music is a repeat, but they include additional riding content and have a very similar flavor to the main flick. I liked the end credits a lot because they show how the stop-photo intro was created. Of all the intros this season, it is one of the best. So, without further adieu, watch the video and let’s hit the road to Park City!
