Well, I finally had the time to watch TS4, opening FBI warning to final credit. There is no question it will be the LONGEST film this year. And it includes a little bit of everything. The nasty chute climbs, some amazing powder, huge air, great fireworks (multiple sled stuff), 3 amazing helicopter days, and some great all-around boondocking. Lots of sunny days, lots of rider interaction, some great carnage. A few nasty avalanches, some gorgeous chicks that can ride, and an awesome rider/camera relationship that shows you depth and personality in these guys and gals that you just cannot skip over. The fear of telling your wife you just endo’d a 20 foot cliff and totaled your sled, the indifference of hanging out over 280 foot cliffs, the smack talk between the Utah Turbo Hounds, the humor as riders face off on the hill. All great stuff. I am proud of this film and like I said, it may be too long for some of you (1 hour and 40 minutes plus another 45 minutes of extras) but the majority will have a great night of entertainment.
Thanks to all of you who support Team Thunderstruck.
