<\/a><\/p>\nOn Friday September 28th some snowboard premieres happened (probably more than just two, in fact) but on the West Coast, Seattle and Los Angeles were the places to be. Sarah Morrison hung in LA, while Brooke and Jared went to Seattle and if you stayed home, read on and you can feel like you were at both!<\/strong><\/p>\n First up, we head south to LA…<\/em><\/p>\n Mountain High’s first full length snowboard film Los Angeles premiered alongside Think Thank’s Mind the Video Man at the historic Downtown Independent Theater in the snowboard mecca that is downtown Los Angeles. The event had completely sold out two screenings at 10 dollars a ticket, which resulted in everyone having to stand in a really long line for a really long time.<\/p>\n The historic Downtown Independent Theater had both intense lighting and intense snacks.<\/p>\n I got some.<\/p>\n Then I dropped them.<\/p>\n Soon it was premiere time. Think Thank’s Mind the Man started out the faux-snow-filled Southern California evening. The film could have used some additional scenery, but the weird rails, front flips and binding-less fun kept the audience yelling stuff at the screen.<\/p>\n After a brief intermission, it was the dawn of Mountain High’s Los Angeles. The well-soundtracked film cut between the riders walking around in scenic sunny Los Angeles and them doing crazy stuff on rails and off jumps at Mountain High. Mountain High is Los Angeles’ closest winter resort and this press point was driven home to musical perfection with Phantom Planet’s California, aka the OC theme song, as the film came to a close and its credits rolled.<\/p>\n There was Craft Beer.<\/p>\n And more Craft Beer<\/p>\n An ATM…<\/p>\n And posters to hang on your bedroom wall.<\/p>\n Oh and street art. Bad street art.<\/p>\n Mountain High Freedom Passes are only $299. I think I might get one.<\/p>\n Hondo was encouraging event attendees in the theater to go home and watch the Mountain High movie on Transworld on their laptops instead.<\/p>\n Brad Farmer made this movie happen, and Nick Visconti wore a Yobeat shirt.<\/p>\n Look how much fun everyone is having! Cronk, Doug, Donald and Hondo<\/p>\n Mmm. Beer. Kyle Loppicolo and Trevor Haas enjoy. <\/p>\n Meanwhile in Seattle…<\/em><\/p>\n I (Brooke) when to the Think Thank\/Dinosaurs Will Die premiere. Think Thank was the headliner at The Pirahana shop, a surf shop by day, empty room with a screen at night, but as it turned out, if you actually wanted to watch the movies, the early showing was the place to be. We arrived a bit before the 21+ show to find everyone sitting in an orderly fashion, eyes glued on the last few parts of Mind the Video Man. Needless to say once they kicked out the kids and opened the bar, things became much less civilized.<\/p>\n Having already watched Think Thank’s movie, the real attraction, at least for me, was the DWD Team Flick. Unfortunately, the standing-room-only crowd and my short stature made it quite difficult to see. It didn’t help that Sean Tedore spent most of the movie telling me about the 90s backcountry parts that were way better than what was coming out today. Anyway, I’ve got the DVD and a real review is coming soon.<\/p>\n Jesse Burtner did his best to keep everyone in line.<\/p>\n An absurd number of Chris’s were there. Here’s Brewster and Cloud (not pictured: Beresford.)<\/p>\n Most of the 21+ crowd was too cool for autographs, but I totally got one from Sean Genovese.<\/p>\n The new issue of Frequency (modeled by John Laing and Krush Kulesza) was hot off the presses. I touched it though and it felt room temperature. <\/p>\n Snowboarding’s cutest couple Leanne Pelosi and Jeff Keenan came down from the Great White North.<\/p>\n Sean Tedore and Chris Beresford are still friends even though Tedore left K2. <\/p>\n The remaining Tranny Finders in Seattle wouldn’t miss this for the world!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
