Bilge Ebiri Spirituality & Health 03/24/2020
While what emerges at times resembles a particularly well-made infomercial-Snow is clearly preaching to a choir that adores these types of activities, not to mention these types of movies-it is undeniably entertaining, and surprisingly visceral.

1.5/5
When Long affords his viewers an opportunity to catch their breath, he exposes just how harmlessly inessential his documentary is. Go to Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy 11/09/2018
Every other minute seems to be another epic montage that never fails to send chills down your spine and bring a smile to your face. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/15/2019 Beautiful and inspiring. Nice to watch in any season. See more 03/19/2017 Gets A Little DirectIonless In Small Parts. The Theme Runs Lightly Through On A Mix Of Extreme Sports, Each Finding Their Connection To Nature, Water, Air, Earth, Even Gravity..I Think The Exploration Of Things Could Of Been A Bit Deeper At Times. Otherwise It Is A Good Bit Of Lite Entertainment Commenting On The Evolution Of Sport & Human Escapsim. See more 11/15/2016 An excellent and breathtaking documentary of extreme sports See more 11/25/2015 What an inspiring movie! A must watch for everyone who loves boarding, biking or skating in every capacity. See more 10/28/2015 This was a fantastic, inspiring movie. Stunning scenery, soundtracks, and people from all walks of life (young and old). Watch this movie...after it is done put down the popcorn, pickup a paddle, ski, or board and get out there. See more 10/26/2015 A must see for any adventure enthusiast. Features a who's who of extreme sports pushing the limits of human ability. We were gasping aloud, "ohhh no", everyone was at the edge of their seats. The search unfolds in the voice of these soulful characters we have looked up to and admired for years. It gives you that same blissful feeling when the wind is up, the waves are right, the powder is deep or the trails are blazing. The footage is beautifully shot. The soundtrack featured artists I know and love. It's just plain fun. See it, you won't be disappointed!!! See more Read all reviews
