TB2 - A New Way of Thinking

VÁMONOS by Nitro Snowboards

Think Thank's most mind numbing, heart stopping freestyle snowboard video ever! Brain Dead Heart Attack marked a decade of snowboard videos for Think Thank, which was always one of the goals when it started. The concept was that the Brain Dead side would feature the dudes who have been around awhile at least in Think Thank videos, some of whom were quite literally brain dead. Heart Attack side would be the launch pad precursor for the new faces who would go on to film for Think Thank Almanac. We were moving out of the brain and into the heart; the heart of a new era of Think Thank, a crew of friends snowboarding together and filming each other, much like how it started 10 years ago.

When Volcom was founded in 1991, it was the first company to combine skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding under one brand from its inception. This way of life influenced the anti-establishment style and attitude that defined a generation. The cultural phenomenon was best captured when Volcom released "Alive We Ride" in 1993: a film documenting the raw excitement and spontaneous creativity inherent to the lifestyle. Twenty-one years later, with the release of "True To This", Volcom again captures the energy and artistry of board-riding in its purest forms. Shot all around the world and showcasing iconic athletes, "True To This" is a tribute to the movement that inspired a generation and the people and places that embody that spirit today.

In a sea of over hyped, over saturated snowboard flicks, White Balance stands true and delivers the whole spectrum of snowboarding. From the inner city handrails to the highest peaks in Alaska, this movie is what snowboarding is truly about. Standard Films travels the globe with some of the best snowboarders in the world and upcoming talent.

When you think of snowboarding, you think of perfect weather, perfect snow conditions, nice pow pow lines, backcountry kickers, just you and your buddies out there in the woods, or maybe a perfect shaped park and pipe. But reality sometimes teaches us something different- totally overcrowded resorts, the best lines are already taken by others, the 'secret spot’ was also hit by someone else, and the waitress in the bar just dated your best friend. No wonder that you get a little 'snowbored’ once in a while. But Snowbored? is anything else than boring! This movie, brought to you by the guys from mellow mood productions out of switzerland, is about to show you that all the waiting for the perfect day is worth it. Riders like Markus Keller, Gian Simmen, Danny Kass, Stephan Maurer, Jon Cartwright and others will show their skills in every terrain you could imagine and will make you long for the next season to come!

Neverland is a state of mind, a mountain pushed up from the ground by imagination. Anyone can go but most people have trouble with the simple directions: Follow your dreams.

Indie film studio Silver Platter serves up yet another exhilarating ride through exotic and extreme snowboarding terrain with this documentary that's part travelogue and part sports spectacle.

Isenseven: Undermovie

Avid for steep slopes, Marco Siffredi (1979-2002) obeys only one rule: not to fall. This gifted kid with hair sometimes blond peroxidized, green or blue clashed in his valley: Chamonix, mecca of mountaineering. His thing was to go up and down on a snowboard. . 90 minutes September 8, 2002, altitude 8848 meters, rare oxygen, his head already brushing the sky and his snowboard running, Marco Siffredi, 23, rushes from the summit of Everest in the Horbein corridor and its slopes at 50 degrees .
