Terje's first descent
02/21/2007 09:27:05 AM · #2
That is just one of the coolest things I've seen. I only wish I was that good.

my highest achievement to date is hopping from 12 meters into waterfalls while canyoning.... hmmm, where are the nearest high mountains here? :) movies like this one make me even more restless than I usually am. :)

Terje is a very popular name here in Norway.

who is Warren Miller?

Wow... he's crazy. I don't think I could snowboard down the little hill in our backyard. haha

Warren Miller has been making ski movies for decades. His movies are excellent, and he has a great sense of humor in them.

Edit to add: that is one crazy mo-fo in that movie!

It's also pretty radical and bodacious.

yes, it's difficult becasue it's so narrow and you just can't stop or slow down very well, you can't swing a lot (at least that's what I do when skiing downhill:)
when I first tried very narrow black slopes some years ago (black= for professionals) I ended up sitting on my ... and just gliding down that way. and the very very first time I went downhill skiing I sat up there - the view was perfect - and refused to ski down. I cried hysterically :))) it was too steep. hehe.

boarding is a bit different. you can carve on a dime and do crazy sharp turns if you have good balance.

Hmmm...



...that's too bad.

I loved Journey but found Impact kind of disappointing.
How does "Off the Grid" compare?
Any TGR or Matchstick recommendations?
TGRs Tangerine Dream from '05 looks pretty sweet.
