Welcome to another installment of Teasin' Season- where we waste time searching the internet for this year's best snowboarding and skiing movie trailers so you don't have to. The movies are set to drop in September, but the filmers are leaking shots now.

"How the Northwest Was One"

This first trailer may be the most genius we've seen yet. Yeah, you may not have heard of many of the riders featured in the "How the Northwest Was One" teaser- but watching them play chicken with a train to get the shot (in HD) on a railroad guardrail totally makes up for the lack of big name riders. These North Westerners have balls of steel and tricks to back up their manhood.

Watch the teaser and enter the world of 2012 "where the snowboard industry is non-existent, riders fight each other to survive, and bounty filmers seek out the most notorious posse of snowboarding outlaws in the Northwest with a will to obtain the best shots... that will be paid for in blood."

The guy doing the announcing is classic.

For the sixth year Forum Snowboards is releasing their team inspired video "Forum Forever". Besides the expected progression of the riders and the quiet disappearance of ex-Forum rider Travis Kennedy, things haven't changed much on the Forum front. Lot's of snowmobiling, powder pushing, double corks and double high-fives from the Jakes' (Blauvelt and Welch), creativity from Peter Line and Eddie Wall, weird hair-do's and wigs from Stevie Bell and John Jackson, and the requisite mix tape of street sessions, backcountry booters and powder slashes from the rest of the gang. Forum consistently comes out with banger video's and, from the looks of this teaser, 2009 will be no different.

Vaca Films comes out early and strong in the Snowboard Teaser race of 2009, with a surprisingly clean and artsy edit that includes underground riders we don't get to see enough of. (Ben Rice, John Foy, Nick Visconti and Jake Devine- to name a few.) Dolly shots, panorama's of Lake Tahoe and the music of Ghostland Observatory (Song: Sad Sad City) make a nice combination for this Tahoe based crew. And while we're on the topic of Tahoe, did anyone catch this little nugget posted the other week?
