Absinthe has been dominating the snowboard film industry with spectacular videos showcasing some of the gnarliest backcountry shit since 2000. That makes this year the big one-zero, 10 years in the game slaying movie screens and television sets worldwide.For their 10th flick, Nowhere, Absinthe is pulling all the stops. More style, more bangers, more bails-- more powder, more big mountain, more rails...
The list of talent says it all: Dan Brisse, Jake Blauvelt, Gigi Rüf, Lucas Debari, Fredi Kalbermatten, Sylvain Bourbousson, Romain deMarchi, DCP, JP Solberg, Annie Boulanger, Marie-France Roy, Bjorn Leines, Taka Nakai, Tadashi Fuse, Jules Reymond, Cale Zima, Blair Habenicht, Terje Haakonsen, Bode Merrill, Wolfgang Nyvelt, Nicolas Müller.
None of those names can be left out. These riders are at the forefront of our sport; they are reinventing snowboarding daily, and seeing them all come together in Nowhere is going to be jawdropping. Here is a two-minute preview of what's in store for us:
What's interesting is how Absinthe has played on the word "Nowhere" by separating it into two different words Now/Here. Even in the middle of nowhere, even doing something that may or may not matter, it's important to savor every moment:
"Movement can give the illusion of progress. And they say that all the world is illusion. So what is the difference between exploring and being lost?This is one video you'll want to start putting aside change in your piggy bank for. Keep yourself updated on the Absinthe website, and be ready to snag your copy September 2010.
In a winter that brought an exceptional amount of challenges to riders all over the world, Absinthe's newest snowboard film reminds us how much our reality is affected by what we make of it.
Whether you are lost ... or exactly where you want to be ... all depends on how you look at it."
