Top Snow Video Picks.

With the overwhelming amount of shred films flooding the marketplace as of right now, it can sometimes be hard choosing just one. So to aid in you're decision making process here are my(mike) top 5 snowboard film picks for 2008-09 :

#5: "Down With People" Mack Dawg: This is Mack Dawgs third installment of the "People" video line, and in my opinion the best one to date. The usual "People" dudes kill it once again with stand-out parts from Jordan Mendenhall, Bryan Fox and Zac Marben... to name a few. Notable new comers to the videos are Simon Chamberlain and one of my favorites Joe Sexton, both of them are on some definite next level rail shit. 50% street 30% backcountry & 20% park: $24.99

#4: "No Correct Way" Kids on Shred: Rome's Sophomore video release does not disappoint in anyway. LNP has a phenomenal part with more 180 combinations than you can comprehend. Marie France Roy follows up her award winning part last year with yet another bench mark setting female part, and she's pretty easy on the eyes too. Eiki Helgason is new to the Rome team, but he comes out swinging with the best part in the video... you may not know who he is now but you will. 40% street 40% backcountry 20% park: $24.99

#3: "Ready" Absinthe: Gigi Ruf, and Nicolas Muller. Need I say more? 80% backcountry 20% street/park: $29.99

#2:"That's it That's all" Brain Farm: The scenery is just as impressive as the riding. This was a two-year project for Travis Rice who was the brains behind this epic. Keep in mind that two years of progression for Travis Rice is the equivalent of 10 years for us mere mortals. So the caliber of riding is unmatched and largely untouched by anyone. Oh, did I mention Terje and Nicolas Muller? They're in there too. In all reality, this could be the best video this year... but one video is a little more enjoyable for me to watch. 100% GNAR: $29.99

#1: "These Days" Transworld Snow: Transworld is 20+ videos deep in skateboarding, and usually mix big name pros with lesser known (but fully qualified) ams. For the company's first venture into the realm of snowboard videos they kept with a similar formula. Using the aging-but-amazing Chad Otterstrom and Capita heavy hitter Dustin Craven, to compliment the slew of young up and coming am riders. Including but not limited to: Jonas Michilot, Tim Eddy, Louif Paradis, and Nick Dirks... all of whom were in last years autumn lines "This is For Everyone", which happens to be my favorite video of last year (go figure). Every single part in this video is note worthy, but the two that stand out the most for me are Nick Dirk's and Jonas Michilot's. Their styles and trick selections are easily some of my favorites, but thats just me. If you're looking for epic get "That's It", but if your looking for a video that gets you psyched and makes you want to go out and shred... this is the video to get. 40% street 30% backcountry 30% park: $24.99

other notable videos:The Eastern Boarder Video, The Boned Age, Forum or Against em.

So there you are, I hope that helps you in your decison making. If not, suck it.
