Considering it's almost September (we like to round up over here at GrindTV Snow) and that is the month that the masses have been promised the releases of their favorite 2010 snowboard videos; we have taken it upon ourselves to compile a list of teasers that...well, teased us the most.
We do realize there has been a plethora of trailers put out by every shred crew on Earth and their mother. Don't hate if we missed your favorite mid-west posse or Colorado next door neighbor; that trailer was more than likely sick, however, we are the ones picking here so...deal with it.
Top Ten (Plus One) 2010 Teasers
(in no particular order)
Euro Gap - Pablo Films: Apparently, there were two previous Euro Gap movies made in the late 90's and the Euros decided to make a comeback. We love rowdy behavior in itself but pair it with debaucherous snowboarding? Where do we sign up? This film looks to have enough banger riding, riders, locations, shots, and fun times for everyone. Get ready for FREE streaming in the near future. Oh, and watch out for that opening clip, it'll get ya.
9191 - Volcom/Veeco Productions: Wanna follow Gigi Ruf and his friends around? Well, this film does. With a history of damn legit and distinctive films, Volcom sparks interest when they are involved with anything. This teaser sends out a little bit of magic through the music and deep turns. Let it tug at your heart strings.
Hello World - Alterna Films: Is it weird that Alterna Films is now associated with a "Sandstorm" dance party thanks to the intro of their 2009 film, "Elektro?" Probably. Regardless if that is a good thing or a bad thing...(good thing)...this teaser inspires us to take the world by snowboarding storm. A teaser one liner - "Sometimes it just feels good to do a method..." wraps up what this trailer does: reminds us to celebrate and enjoy every second we have strapped onto a board. "Hello World" strives to be a global assault on snowboarding with a stacked list of familiar shred faces.
Homies 3: The Frenchies got us stoked. Nico Droz and friends send it in this trailer; encompassing the best part of snowboarding - your buddies. With a perfect beat in the background, you will be strapping in halfway through the teaser. A little under the radar, "Homies 3" brings us back to what got us started in the first place and of course, why we still do it.
The Storming - Standard Films: Reminds us a little bit of their Black Winter teaser but you know what? That's okay, Black Winter was all time. Straight and to the point, "The Storming" teaser is bold and gnarly. Not usually fans of metal but if they wanted to portray bad ass, it worked. Big names. Big riding, Big mountains. We're betting the finished product will blow minds.
Bon Voyage - Videograss: These rail killers are getting together again to take over the street scene in skinny jeans. Mikey Leblanc is still ripping, just in case you didn't know, and they somehow convinced a double of Santa Claus in overalls to do a jig. If a teaser can get us to crack up while getting us amped to snowboard, we'd say it was a success.
Let's Make Better Mistakes Tomorrow - Peep Show Films: The ladies are alright. By alright, we mean flippin' bad mama jamas (if this term is foreign to you, click HERE). The Peep Show babes get after it - get seriously broke off, bloody, and injured - then get after it again. This teaser shows you fearless, ripping, talented chicks; on camera and off. Always with a creative perspective and always leaving us with a little somethin', somethin' after watching their films - Let's Make Better Mistakes Tomorrow is sure to be a gem.
F' It - Forum Snowboards: "Forever" might still have us in a daze. Claiming the Transworld Video of the Year award in 2009, we already know what Forum is capable of. An all-around crew that constantly pushes the boundaries of filming and snowboarding, we can sense the world is anticipating this flick. The teaser brings the ridiculousness we can all appreciate riding to Kenny Loggins' "Playing With The Boys" plus, with the addition of The Contract to Forum's board collection, we get to see "sex", "drugs", and "rock n' roll" flying all over the place.
The Arena - FODT & MFM: This teaser makes us appreciate those gangster kids even more than we do already. Aside from the outerwear and tees that double as nightgowns and the typical hip hop soundtrack, "The Arena" shows these riders attacking everything in their path. To say they are boldly charging sketchy-ass set ups and stomping them is an understatement. Marc Frank Montoya is bringing the heat with this one.
Now You Know - Sandbox Films: With Sandbox Films' track record, we can only hope they one up themselves again. "Now You Know" looks to be just one damn classic snowboard movie filled with legit riding and tons of backcountry booters. Loaded with underdogs we can't help but root for alongside the impact of their flick, "Shine On" from last year, we are hyped. More than likely underrated; don't write this one off...it will surprise you.
In Color - Transworld Snowboarding: Since the beginning of time, Transworld Snowboarding has seemed to be the world's go-to publication for what the cool kids are doing. TWS pretty much has the snowboarding industry on lock which is why we are once again, trusting their 2010 film "In Color". Never a lack of high quality filming, editing, and riding, Transworld consistently delivers. This trailer is claiming to depict the current state of snowboarding, in HD, with tons of heavy hitters. No matter what you say, we know you're stoked to see what they catch on camera.
Editors note: We really wanted to throw "Cheers" from the People Crew on this list but seeing how they still don't have a teaser up for their new movie...we couldn't really do that. However, for the record, we are excited to see it and are big fans of their videos in the past. That is all.
