Thats a real torch…Gavin, what dude?

And then we get down to business.
The film opens with a cork sev blunt, because Gavin is keenly aware.
We are at WCS, and the session is stupendous.
Around the seven minute mark there is a grab combo that makes me react out loud.
Gavin picks good shots out of a crowd.
Then we transition into the streets.
Gavins artistic talent is highlighted in moments like these.
His transitions are subtle but very effective.
Weve seen a million back fours out of closeouts, but that tow in shot was fantastic.
It reminds us how much of every urban mission is made up of driving and scoping and shuffling around.
Young filmmakers out there could take notes from Gavin on how to move a flick along.
The shot at 12:35 is pretty incredible.
Am films always tend to let down a bit during backcountry segments.
The thing is that these skiers are not necessarily the most gifted for their age.
To be sure, theyre sick.
Theres a lot of talent brewing in this circle.
The difference is not everyone has Gavin filming them.
Nor do they have him crafting a narrative to frame their shots.
That, I think, is testament to Gavins raw talent.
And to his sense of humour.
To me it seems like theyre doing it because they need to break away from the pack.
The result is tight, stylish and irreverent.
And one last C7B is never a bad call.
