Got a copy of HOT LAPS,Mammoths first video, and I’m in the process of watching it for the 2nd time…today. I missed the premier in the village last Saturday due to being stuck at the IAM SNOWBOARDING art show, so I’m making up for a lack of on time reviews…hopefully.

All the editing was really cool and went along with the Mammoth Ads we all see in the snow mags and seeing my friends names throughout the intro is always cool. Watching your friends on TV in something other than your own bluebird edits is something you can really only feel for yourself. it’s like, wow we CAN actually go somewhere with our riding. We always think we can and look up to our favorite riders in the videos and the magazines, but to actually SEE your friends and for some friends, yourself, in a professionally made video presented by the mountain you love…It’s something awesome. The video really gives the viewer a great perspective of what Mammoth has to offer. Everybody knows Mammoth has epic parks but a lot of people have no idea what treasures it holds…and hides. the natural terrain all over the mountain makes it so, no matter your style or the weather, you will always find YOUR line. I thought some of the rider parts were somewhat short(the whole video is only 34min long) knowing how much and how often they film, but each part I felt showcased what they had to offer.

If you know someone who has a copy or can get a copy – get on it. The video is one that you can just sit and watch all day. for me at least.

It was really neat to see how Jeff affected the people around him, in his day to day and traveling life. The art was amazing. I had mentioned to a few friends that when I really started painting my first piece was a Volcom ad of Jeff Anderson and a few more of my pieces were of Jeff and influenced by his art.

It’s amazing what one person, in such a diverse industry, can do to influentially.

He is missed. He is loved. and HE IS snowboarding.

Oh, and I was at the art show the whole time so I missed the premier…but seeing as I know everyone in it…I’m sure i’ll eventually get it/see it.
