This might be the best I have seen for good vibe and production. Looking forward to watching the whole film.

One word... sick. That's it. Laughing out loud

Curse my lack of talent.

It would be really cool if we had no NPWS killing our trail building endeavours like this. Imagaine what we could accomplish in our own backyard if we were allowed to? Not saying we would build crazy stuff like this. But we could have such cool buff trail everywhere. It would be all mountain utopia. Smiling

Like Terrey Hills? Perhaps the part right after you crash and hit your head? Eye-wink

Man, every time I see this segment I get goosebumps. They showed it last night at the Mountain Film Fest with couple of snippets from Kranked.

Official trailer here:

Toss it in your basket next time your in the LBS or shopping online! Update: I just did Smiling

P.S. Another highlight of the fest. were the insane antics of Alex Honnald. Solo (climber speak for no ropes) up Half Dome, Yosemite NP (the vertical wall section is over 600m straight up). Check it out:

I thought the Birdman of the Karakorma was pretty cool.

Whipping up to 6500m on a deckchair attached to a large bedsheet with no mechanical assistance looks like a chuckle. Anyone got a paraglider they'd like to trade?

He seemed much happier to be filming on the ground Eye-wink

Yeah, those guys in Kranked made it look O-so-sweet! Their timing and landings were unbelievably spot on and just made it look so smooth.

Good festival, 2nd year of attending/watching, will definitely be there again next year...
Cool

Poor bike riders having to do that track over and over again for filming?

As if!

I'd give up my job to do that for a living.
