Banff Mountain Film Festival


Banff Banff Banff. Roses & thorns style.

Roses:

  • Chris Sharma. Miguel, his amigo. Ande, his rose-colored-glasses-wearing older brother figure. The guy in Venezuela who was bored and had only: a mirror with which to watch his beard grow and several sudoku.

  • "Ba! Tsaa! Arrrghhh! Weeeeee!"
  • The animated film with a grumpy badger. (Click to see a clip!)
  • Oldschool cross country ski footage

  • Kite-snowboarding is ok I guess

  • "Balance," a ski movie that is apparently non-Googlable, but go ahead and try!

  • Listing of sponsors in British accent
  • This:





Thorns:


  • Personal anecdotes.

  • Self-absorbed subjects: Ryan Leech, mountain biker, expounding on the evils of logging and how that's like when he falls off the bike; Speedfliers

  • Unicycling... more YouTube than big screen

  • Not winning door prizes once again.
