Snowboarding Movies-Pay It Forward

Every fall I start jonesing for snowboarding. Whether it's reading catalogs or seeing online videos of pros shredding in the southern hemisphere, when fall arrives, so do snowboard videos. Since I am a serious video nerd, I felt that I would post reviews of the videos I have seen so far. I have this expensive habit of purchasing dvds yearly, and watching them religiously.
These videos usually keep me going long enough until the weather drops below freezing. When purchasing movies I usually base the order in which I buy them by riders I personally like, but those opinions of "favorite riders" never lasts too long. That leads to an addictive cycle of me purchasing most of the videos released that year.
Ever since Napster, the film and music business have never been the same. Illegal downloads have lead to people not receiving credit where credit is due. If you enjoy a specific rider, company, or even production company, do them a favor and purchase the movie if you decide to go the somewhat illegal route. By purchasing these movies, you determine who you want to continue to produce films season after season. Even if it means pooling your money with your your buddies, pay it forward. This industry is a product of your sales, so help shape this sport into what you want it to be.
These reviews are meant to help you buy these videos. My taste is not the only way to determine which videos are good and which are not. This means you have to see them for yourself and make your own opinion. Especially in terms of music, it all depends on what your into. If you have any questions about the videos please leave comments, or if you think my review was not even close, tell it like it is. The more feedback, the better.
