Colorful, energetic and very motivational, this is one that every female snowboarder should watch. It won't bore the boys, either.

Labor of Love is a breath of fresh air for girls' snowboard (and ski) footage. In a video that is very clearly filmed, with camera angles that show off features and tricks very well, and is fun and girly but not super touchy-feely, it is a video that every female shredder should watch for motivation. There is so much male dominated snowboard footage on the market that should not be missed, but as a female, nothing replaces watching girls who rip and hit natural and park features and kill it in flat-land jibbing. The motivation boost comes from the fact that what they are doing is more attainable if you are a female rider. LOL has a lot of integrity.

The editing and cinematography noticeably add to LOL, however I found the soundtrack to be somewhat annoying. The movie is edited perfectly to it and there are several good songs, but overall, the music was a bit zany.

I like that it is the Roxy female skiers and snowboarders combined and I was interested in the ski parts, even though I really am not great on two sticks. There is a vibrant use of features, color and location that keep it moving and energetic. The ski and snowboard parts are mixed in and are not by a rider part, but more with tricks and features, which also keeps it flowing. The entire main movie is super, and hard to say anything that stands out because I thought it all did. However, the extra called "Extra LOL" that starts with Alexis' section, really stands out. The only other extra, Japaneir, is a bunch of random footage from Japan that is well edited and adds a lot of cultural flavor. That said, it is hard to watch if you get motion sick.
