This dazzling Ride begins with a bang: A terrific piece about Whistler's avalanche hunters, i.e., a team of explosives experts who begin their days blowing away potentially lethal slides before skiers hits steep slopes. Typical of Miller's films, Ride globetrots through some of the most exciting and exotic places on Earth to capture Hollywood-caliber (and often better) footage of extreme snow-sporting. Among these hot spots, so to speak, are New Zealand (where a high mountain considered holy by the Maori offers some interesting downhill challenges), the North Cascades (particularly a couple of breathtaking sites accessible only by helicopter), France (where a resort harvests ski-able snow from ice-fishing), and Breckenridge, Colorado (where snowboarders bounce along the famous Breckenridge Bumps). A highlight is a ski trip in Russia, where three Americans catch a bus through a war zone to reach, as one fellow puts it, "the top of Europe." --Tom Keogh
Description:
Ride is awesome adventure snowboarding as you have never seen it! It's breathtaking adventure in spectacular locations, from the radical drops of Whistler Mountain, British Columbia, to the vertical exhilaration of skiing Russia. Share the thrills of helicopter drops into fresh powder, unimaginable inclines and heart-stopping speeds with 2002 Olympians and world-famous snowriders!

I can't ski. Neither can my younger sister....who was given full ski
gear by a rich friend one day. But she just couldn't bend her legs
correctly. "This isn't your sport, is it?", my sister's rich friend
said, kindly, finally.
But my mom was born in Montreal Canada -- and could ski! So, naturally, I HAD to watch this documentary when I chanced upon it recently on TV.
Wow! Skiers who scale the highest cliffs! iSkiers who ski in unison, like the Radio ... Read More

If you're looking for the good old Warren Miller films, this isn't quite it. This film is where Kurt, Warren's son, starts narrating most of the films, and he's really not very good at it, especially compared to Warren. The film itself is decent, but not nearly as fun and exciting to watch as Fifty, Storm, or Cold Fusion, (or any of the older, classic Warren Miller films.) In my opinion, this is one of the weaker films in the Warren Miller collection. The narrating is bland, monotone, and quite annoying, ... Read More

In our opinion there is no instructional value or race footage on this DVD. I can't see how this type of product is useful to learning to ski. There are much better videos out there for ski coaches.

Gorgeous photography, varied and exotic locations from Whistler to New Zealand to Russia. Fabulous snowboard and ski footage, as always. Craig Kelly - ironically and prophetically talks about his love for riding in BC and what it's like to have sliders (avalanches) chase him down.
There's always a jot of humor in Warren's films, and we like it and expect it even if it's corny. Amusing to see the two brothers in the flatlands who construct a monster ski jump in their back yard.

Unbelievable, awesome, spectacular, and incredible are just some of the words that come close to describing the breathtaking footage in this new "classic" form Warren Miller. Once again he makes you want to pack up and head for the nearest snow covered slopes, wherever in the world that might be. The scenery and cinematography is absolutely killer as is the selection of music that takes you on another dream trip through the best snowfields on earth. This film is an absolute "must own".
