Great vibes and insane ski stunting, set at everyones favorite volcanic vacation destination.
A passion project with no expectations and mind-blowing results.
And now we have Magma II, dropping Friday 13th November.
This time around there are undoubtedly expectations.
In fact, theyre sky-high.
You cant make something as good as Magma without setting the bar almost too high.
With Magma, they won awards and made the top-rated of all time list right here on Newschoolers.
But I say almost too high because Magma II hits it out of the park again.
Except just slightly better on all fronts.
Its the same style as before, but little tweaks born of another year of experience.
Its a fast-paced, flowing watch, easy on the eyes, and never boring for even a second.
But there are subtle improvements here too.
The spot builds are more ambitious and more varied lending more variety to the movie.
Oh, and they somehow topped the vibe and stature of the ender of the last movie.
As I write this, Europes ski resorts are mostly shut down with the exception of those in Switzerland.
Only proper pros can train in Austrias glacier parks.

Which, after a significant divergence from the movie, brings me to my point.
Alex and Hunter are two of the leading lights of the new generation of freeskiers.
They arent the only ones.
Ive been incredibly stoked on all the projects weve been able to premiere on NS this Fall.
Id like to say a huge, public thank you to everyone involved in the making of those.
Keeshlife, Traveling Circus, and Im sure countless others Im forgetting should be on the list too.
Enough ranting for now though because I wanted to end on a couple of Magma II related points.

Magma II releases tomorrow, November 13th, right here on Newschoolers.
