First, HUGE props to Sugarloaf for putting this on their facebook page. (one of the reasons I am glad I do facebook)
Turns out they were doing a free show at Bowdoin College last night so I raced out of the house. Got there 20 minutes early and met Chris James and his parents. (we were the only people there at this point) The guys is mad cool and is from right down the road in Bath, ME.
Blah blah blah...on to the film.
I like Meathead's stuff. It is fun and doesn't feel like it takes itself too seriously. That being said, some of the stuff was just awesome.
It was only 45 minutes long. LOTS (and by lots I mean almost 30 minutes) of Urban stuff. Not really my scene but I get why they did it. Some of the urban shots were filmed 20 minutes away in Auburn. (there is even a cameo by some crusty old Mainer) There are some pretty impressive scenes...tricks through broken down buildings, some cool jumps built against a wall, and a few rail rides.
They also did a lot of filming at Sugarloaf this year. Some park stuff (which was cool) but the tree shots were just awesome. I would love to find where some of that was filmed. For you bump hounds, there is the obligatory "Hammer" sequence where he rips up K-ton and then gets busy on May 2nd at Sugarloaf skiing some of the moguls there.
Lots more to say but I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it. Hopefully they let the credits run because the blooper reel is funny as hell.
There was a lot of free stuff...some stuff from Stowe, DVD's, Pint Glasses, Gloves. They did a raffle too. Go see it if you get the chance. Support East Coast Skiing!
