In the beginning of this filmed extravaganza featuring snowboarding, ice climbing, and "extreme skiing," the director appears in front of the camera to explain why he traveled to Alaska with an IMAX camera crew. This unusual behind- the-scenes approach continues through Extreme Winter, and the viewer not only is treated to spectacular footage of people risking life and limb on impossibly steep terrain but is also shown exactly how the footage was captured on film. For instance, in one segment a champion snowboarder hurtles downhill, and she is closely followed by a cameraman who's performing the tricky stunt of snowboarding while also holding and aiming a 50-pound IMAX camera. The intrusion of the camera people thus begins to make sense, as one can honestly wonder who should be the star of the proceedings. The film is a tribute to Alaska itself, and some of the footage of snow-covered mountains would be spectacular treats for the eyes even if maniacs weren't snowboarding perilously close to enormous cliffs or clinging to and climbing up forbidding walls of ice. The various athletes filmed doing their risky feats on the mountains speak in interview segments, giving some insight into what possesses them to, as one aptly puts it, "face my fears." This is an exciting and highly entertaining blend of gorgeous photography and extreme sports. --Robert J. McNamara

For established champions and aspiring pipeliners alike, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is like a greatest-hits collection that never goes out of style. This 65-minute surf-orgy covers all three competitions in the 22nd annual Triple Crown challenge, which is essentially the Stanley Cup, World Series, and Super Bowl of surfing, all rolled into one awesome showdown on the most challenging breaks of Oahu's north shore. It's there, in the tropical winter of 2004, that the world's greatest surfers showed up to compete against the best of the best, a stellar lineup of veterans and newcomers including Derek Ho, Mark "Occy" Occilupo, Phillip MacDonald, brothers Bruce and Andy Irons, Tom Carroll, and many others. The TC tour is comprised of the Vans Hawaiian Pro tournament at Haleiwa (which many consider the "scariest" break of all, with huge waves on a shallow-water base); the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing at Sunset Beach ("the most challenging," some say); and the Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters competition at Pipeline, where the biggest breaks (and a deadly reputation) cause even the boldest surfers to get a case of the jitters. It's there that finalists Jamie O'Brien, Kalani Robb, Bruce Irons, and six-time Triple Crown winner Sunny Garcia (the first surfer to surpass $1 million in prize money) compete for the title of "best in the world," and director Bill Kiely's camera crew is there, in the roiling surf, to capture all the action. While not as visually awesome as Billabong Odyssey, this Triple Crown survey has more to offer for seasoned surfers and pros-in-the-know, providing an insider's view of the race for their most coveted prize. The pounding rock soundtrack (parental advisory suggested, for "f-word" lyrics) is excerpted on a bonus disc with eight tracks from various artists (Death by Stereo, Matchbook Romance, Pennywise and others) on the Epitaph label. --Jeff Shannon

Description

The Vans triple Crown of Surfing is the world's most prestigious and famous surfing event, encompassing three events over six weeks at separate world-class surf breaks along the North Shore of Oahu's Seven-Mile miracle.

Disappointment of the World's Greatest Sporting Event!.......2006-01-30

First, why not make a documentry of the best from ALL of the past Triple Crown's, instead of just one, OK winter?! Also, I can't watch this again because Sunny Garcia makes me ill. He's the most unpleasant person in the entire history of surfing!

2004 VANS TRIPLE CROWN OF SURFING.......2005-10-21

The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is like what the Stanley Cup is to Hockey, the Super Bowl to football, and Indy 500 is to Cart Racing...Simply put its the mecca of surfing.

The crew at WINDOWSEATpictures captured the emotion, essence, and one of the best contests in years on the N.Shore. The cinematography, in-depth interviews and the drama of Sunny Garcia capture his 6th Triple Crown title was amazing. The edits were on point, the music just gets you psyched on wanting you to grab your board and hit the beach. If you are surfer this video is definitely worth checking out and keeping in the vault.

"Slednecks #4" is by far our best film yet. We traveled all over the globe, to places like Alaska, Canada, all over the U.S. and Iceland, to find the best snowmobiling. "Slednecks #4" features Garth Kaufman, Jay Quinlan, Ryan Britt, Shad Free, Cody Hanson, Jason Fentiman, B.J. Murray, Andy Lindbeck, Chris Burandt, and Dan Gardiner goin' huge, and of course Jim Rippey doing the first ever successful backflip on a snowmobile. "Slednecks #4" is 50 minutes of non-stop, insane action that will leave you shocked at what you just saw. We stepped it up big this year!

Slednecks 4.......2003-01-16

Wow! is all I can say, If you are into sledding then you will want this one, the back flip alone is worth the price alone, but when Garth jumped the ski lift and broke his leg, well...that was cool! Even my wife was sitting there saying...that's sick, that's sick, that's crazy...then she says you guys don't do that do you? I said, I wish I could even see some of that powder that they ride. I think the most I have jumped is across my buddies driveway cause he's worried about scratches from the carbides!

Slednecks 4.......2003-01-16

Probably the best sled video currently out there.......2002-08-01

The riding is solid as is the soundtrack and editing. If you can only own one sled video, this is probably the one you want. I cannot wait until I see the Slednecks 5 this fall!

Sick, sick, sick !!!.......2002-03-18

There has never been a sledder film as sick as this one, and there may never be. The soundtrack is LOUD, fresh and current. From snowmobile backflips, 200+ foot longjumps,log cabbin jumping, to snapped bones peircing skin. Slednecks 4 will keep you riveted. Be a member of the Slednecks Army these guys trick off anything in there way and bring new meaning to the words NO FEAR.

PBP does it again, well kinda..........2004-01-10

Right off the bat amazin, but as the non-stop show of sick airs and great soundtrack continues, it leaves you wanting more. I have had most of the featured athletes as coaches over the summer and I saw them doing bigger airs and slidin rails better than whats featured. Maybe it was just the firsthand experience, anyway, still a sick movie, highly recommended and the best and last segment by Joel McCormmack(sorry if I spelled it wrong) truly was his best. Steel should be proud.
BUY IT! RENT IT! STEAL IT!

This annual event pits surfers and snowboarders against each other in the surf at Huntington Beach one day, then on the snow at Mountain High Resort the next for a chance to win the $20,000 prize purse. Since its inception in 1991, the H2O Winter Classic has seen it all in terms of weather and athletes: wind, rain, and snow; pros and ams; men and women. But being the largest running surf/snow event of its kind, the championship always goes to the biggest talents in the two boarding sports, year after year, no matter what the conditions.

Horrible.......2003-01-10

This is not a ski or snowboard or an 'extreme' sport movie. It is a making of a movie. And it therefore is horrible. This is essentially the making of the IMAX movie EXTREME. You learn about lighting and how to put together a camera boom. Yipppeee! There is this repetitive tribal beat in the background that gets really annoying. And guess what? It gets even better. There is a making of bonus section! You get the making of ... the making of EXTREME for IMAX. Don't waste your money on this. I personally will never buy another movie from this production company.

Horrible.......2003-01-10

I have many ski/'extreme' movies. This is not one of them. It is essentially the making of the IMAX movie EXTREME. I don't care how they got the camera shots or about the lighting. And guess what..it includes a making of bonus feature. You get to see the making of...the making of EXTREME for IMAX. Don't waste your money, and I will never buy another movie from this company.

Great movie, bad transfer to DVD..........2002-11-18

The cinematography of this movie is amazing. Great shots, beautiful runs, amazing athletes and a committed film crew. The transfer to DVD, though, is very poor. I find it hard to believe that they went through so much effort to capture this beautiful photography and the DVD transfer is obviously an afterthought. It is pretty grainy and on a 61 inch rear projection widescreen I may as well be watching VHS. I really hope they re-release this as a digitally remastered DVD. I'd buy it again just to have these pictures in the media quality they deserve. On the up side, it has convinced me that I should book a spring skiing/snowboarding trip to Alaska. :)

Magical!.......2001-03-28

This film is just so beautifully shot. Not only is the photography amazing, but the Alaska scenery will live on in your memory, and the music is fantastic too. The CD soundtrack from this film is restful and unusual, and is one of my favourites. I'm not even an athlete, and wouldn't have thought a film about snowboarding, skiing, surfing and ice-climbing would appeal to me at all. But all I can say is this is truly a work of art.

Best on the big screen.......2000-11-17

The magic of the IMAX big screen is somewhat lost. The skiing is great but the camera work is very basic. There is little to no point-of-view material. Following a skier with a helicopter or sitting back a mile away with a telephoto lens doesn't capture the real thing for a small screen. The skiing is also limited to long takes of slaloming movement which everyone has seen. Then again, maybe I just need a bigger TV.

Description

STUNT JUNKIES is a fresh, immersive, weekly, half hour series in which the world's best extreme sports athletes, designers, and stunt fabricators execute one unbelievable stunt. It's a show about imagination, daring, intellect and science. STUNT JUNKIES is a backstage pass to the world of the extreme athlete and explains what it takes to pull off a an eye-popping, hair-raising stunt. Jay Quinlan is one of the word's foremost freestyle snowmobilers, and the first person to backflip a snowmobile in competition. For that, Quinlan is revered in his sport -- and his innovation and creativity on the snowmobile is unparalleled. Now, Jay wants to become the first person to successfully barrel roll a snowmobile in mid-air. The physics of this stunt are extremely challenging. While he'll have plenty of forward momentum from his snowmobile and upward momentum from the ramp, he'll have to generate massive angular momentum with muscle strength alone. Since this has never been done before, no one knows exactly how to make it work. It will take lots of trial and error, and lots of painful crashes.
