If you\u2019ve been paying attention to snowboarding at all, then you probably know exactly the type of rider featured in FODT\/MFM Production\u2019s Hard to Earn. Snow Gangsters, I believe they are called.<\/p>\n
But for the sake of humor, let\u2019s pretend to be an out-of-touch person right now. What would their reaction to this movie be? Well, they would be amazed that there were so many midgets who were so good at snowboarding. They would think, with that many midgets, maybe I should start a brand specifically catering to the little people who snowboard so they are longer forced to wear such giant apparel! And then we would end up with another ridiculously specialized brand run by some moron.\u00a0 Great.<\/p>\n
Wait, what? That\u2019s not really that funny? Crap.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s go with another approach then, because in reality I\u2019ve seen a bunch of snowboard videos, including all the free ones on the Internet. Here\u2019s how Hard to Earn stacked up: It was like a really well-made homey film. Meaning, the crew we\u2019re obviously homies, in the literal and figurative senses. The locations were, for the most part, creative shit that any kid who wanted to put a little effort in, could go ride. I\u2019m referring to tractor trailers, jungle gyms, and normal rail spots used in creative new ways (dude, he jumped over the rail!)\u00a0 The FODT crew seems to know it ain\u2019t no fun if the homies can\u2019t have none.<\/p>\n
The cinematography however, is head and shoulders above what you\u2019re going to find Vimeo<\/a>. Multiple camera angles, dolly shots, and super high quality HD, dawg. Of course, by around Jake Devine<\/a>, Chris Bradshaw and Yan Dofin\u2019s shared section, the \u201cTy Evans\u201d shots we\u2019re starting to make me a bit nauseous. But it was definitely far more pleasurable than any shaky hand-held crap you\u2019ll get for free.<\/p>\n The line up featured just about every pro snowboarder who lives the thug life, MFM, Travis Kennedy, Lucas Magoon, Jonah Owen, etc. Even the super famous TV star Louie Vito<\/a> makes a cameo and only has one pipe shot, which may or may not effect his chances at making the Olympics. The biggest surprise for me was the ender by Johnnie Paxson<\/a>. In Oregon we\u2019ve known this kid is no joke for awhile now, but it was sick to see him getting the ender-ender action he deserves.<\/p>\n So if snow gangsters bum you out, this probably isn\u2019t the movie for you. But if you like watching snowboarding, it definitely offers an entertaining and quality version of it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Archives If you\u2019ve been paying attention to snowboarding at all, then you probably know exactly the type of rider featured in FODT\/MFM Production\u2019s Hard to Earn.
