In the past, action sports films have been accesible only to those acquainted with the action sports world. For example, only a skateboarder would be able to find, watch, and truly understand the latest skate film.
Fortunately, this old trend has ended with arrival of a new, state-of-the-art snowboard film, "The Art of Flight". This fully HD film led by director Curt Morgan was created and is now being distributed with an intent to reach a mainstream audience. Available on iTunes in both standard and high definition versions, it is cheap (under $10) and very easily accesible.
The film depicts some of the most beautifully shot, epic action sports scenes ever filmed. Following some of the world's premier snowboarders through places including Alaska, Colorado, Patagonia, Chile, and British Columbia, it also showcases the best of today's tricks and rides. Even for those who are not snowboarding enthusiasts, the film is bound to blow them away. It does not take a snowboarder to know that double backflip combinations over 60+ foot gaps are impressive. Also interspersed within the riding are sprawling helicopter shots of the mountains and their surrounding locations that look like something straight out of "Planet Earth".
Only time will tell of Morgan's film will truly reach a more mainstream crowd, however it certainly has the potential to.
