    The Greatest Snowboard Epic Ever Created

    "The Art of Flight" is "The Odyssey" of snowboard movies. It's epic camera work makes even Warren Miller look like an amateur. Red Bull helps pull out all the stops, to produce the most wild documentation of the world of snowboarding out there.

    Travis Rice, John Jackson, and Mark "Lando" Landvik take the world of snowboarding to a new level in the opening scene alone, which sets the tone, and gives you a small taste of what's in store for the rest of the film.

    The crew even gives you a small inside look into their lives during the planning phases and cloudy down days that prevent filming.

    There's not not too much more that can be said about the film beyond "Epic" aside from watch the film. It's the only way to fully understand.

    Great sound track. Ground breaking film.

    The Art of Flight.

    The Art of Flight - One Well Worth Taking

    The Art of Flight is more than what it seems.

    This is an engaging, immaculately filmed, brilliant film that shows what happens when us as humans push our boundaries.

    From the breathtaking cinematography, from amazing camera angles and intense vivid slow motion action in the most remote locations in the world. It's really unreal some of the stuff in Art of Flight, it takes nature and snowboarding and combines them into something magical.

    Ad mist all the flashy stuff, the film is much deeper - it shows humanity and the struggle for greatness. To keep pushing yourself to the limit, and what to live for. The strive and passion these guys have for taking down the most dangerous sections of mountains to ever be snowboarded upon is just amazing.

    If your into sports at all, or movies about pushing your limits of what the human mind and body can do. Or just looking for something gorgeously appealing in high def to sit back and enjoy, look no further than the Art of Flight.

    Breathtaking images.

    Even if you're not into snowboarding The Art Of Flight is worth watching. Just for the stunning cinematography alone it's worth the detour. The high quality of imaging, the beautiful sceneries, the breathtaking stunts, they all add up to make this documentary an enjoyable television moment. The slow motion shots are just sublime. I never snowboarded before and probably never will but it for sure makes you to want to. Sponsored by Red Bull, and that will be needed, as I can imagine it's not in everybody's budget to visit all those beautiful and remote places. Special credits to the helicopter pilots as well as they prove how well they control their machines. Some of the narrating voices could have been better, but the soundtrack made up for that. The Art Of Flight, for fans of snowboarding, extreme sports, or just for the breathtaking mountain views.

    Amazing scenery, fantastic insight into their world

    The cinematography of this film is amazing. Fantastic scenes, the distant views are brilliant, fantastic slow-motion shots. It starts with a journey of small cliffs gradually taking you to some of the most dangerous conditions that these guys snow board in.

    It shows what these guys really live for and why they do it. There is not much of a story this is a 'point and view' documentary about the lives of a few pro snow boarders. Very little is said in this documentary and it fits perfectly well.

    It certainly gives an insight to viewers about the sort of risks they take for the adrenalin rushes these guys need to feel alive.

    This is an amazing view in high definition.

    Action Sports Fans, this is the pinnacle...

    I felt like I owed it to the makers of this film to voice my opinion. This is the new pinnacle of action sports films.

    First these guys aren't playing around, the action is outstanding and the music score is absolutely second to none. The addition of incredible use of surround and the obvious use of the highest quality cams on the market makes this the best Blu-ray sports film out-period.

    I saw one person complaining that it was more like a snowboarding music video, this is how it should be, it's my opinion that they shouldn't have changed a thing. Having spent a fair share of my life playing with amateur filming extreme sports and watching films of others. This film absolutely blows me away... Unbelievable.

    The addition of the amazing locales and picturesque screens of locations that viewers can hardly imagine makes this movie almost surreal...

    Thanks Curt Morgan, Travis Rice and associates I'm not sure you can beat this but I really hope that you try...
