THE CRASH REEL - OFFICIAL TRAILER

This eye-popping film, stunningly edited from 20 years of verité footage, follows champion snowboarder Kevin Pearce and exposes the fatal allure of extreme sports.

An escalating rivalry between Kevin and his nemesis Shaun White (2-time Olympic Gold Medalist) in the run-up to the 2010 Olympics culminates in Shaun winning Gold and Kevin in a life-threatening coma following a training accident.

Kevin’s family help him rebuild his life as a traumatic brain injury survivor, but when he insists he wants to return to the sport that has caused him so much pain, his eloquent brother David, who has Down’s syndrome, intervenes. As an elite athlete, Kevin was a professional risk-taker but now his skills are impaired and a small blow to the head could kill him. How much risk is too much? Featuring a stellar soundtrack, with songs by Moby, Sigur Ros, The Chemical Brothers, M83 and Jose Gonzalez, Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker uses Crash Reel to bring to audiences across an epic and true story or rivalry, the hard facts of life and ultimately, the value of family.

 

I love the way snowboarding brings people from all walks of life together. No matter what corner of the world you travel to, if you see someone carrying a board it is that easy to start a conversation with them.

The ability to create, laugh, hang with friends, build features, talk smack on the chair lift/gondy, hassle skiers, and most importantly have endless fun!

I think that the single most inspiring thing about Snowboarding is how it gets us all to appreciate Life and what it has to offer!!!!!

I love snowboarding because pants are optional. nobody wants to wear pants. Sometimes cats live in my pants. while im not wearing them of course. they couldn’t live there when I was wearing them, thats just silly.
