 Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival - Seasons World Film Premier

Yesterday evening we managed to purchase some tickets to go and check out the world premiere of Seasons; the new mountain bike video from The Collective. The video was being shown inside the Telus Conference center in Whistler. The conference room was set up with about 5 big screens and lots of stadium seating. Tickets were $15, a bit steep for a movie these days, but the event was a good one. To start, there was a really good trailer for a a snowboard movie coming out in September 2008. After the snowboard trailer, in the middle of all the screens a singer came out (I can’t remember his name) and was singing and playing the guitar. This guy was awesome! He did a couple songs and then the Seasons video started.

Seasons what can I say?  After watching the movie, it inspired me to want to go and ride my bike and ride it fast! Asides from wanting to ride my bike, I would have to say the cinematography, scenery and action sequences in this movie were awesome.  If you like mountain biking and the evolution of the sport and can respect the different disciplines of riding, you should definitely go and see this film.

The film is basically about seven world class riders from around the world that all have different riding styles: Andrew Shandro, Cam McCaul, Steve Smith, Matt Hunter, Darren Berrecloth, Thomas Vanderham and Steve Peat. The film goes one to show what each of these pro riders, does in each season of the year ; Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter to stay ontop of their game. One message that is pretty evident in this movie is each of these riders has a huge level of determination and dedication for their sport to stay and be the best at what they do. I won’t give away too many details as I will let you find out for yourself. Go and check it out. Ride on! Spring is here!
