Well, it’s the next day and I am now able to find the time to update for the premiere…. Well i guess not, never really got around to posing photos and a full update so here we go…

Syl and I took the LIRR into the city, then the subway to 4th St and met up with our friends at a Korean Restaurant on Carmine St downtown. We grabbed a drink there while the rest of our crew finished up their drinks and dinner then headed out to the premiere.

We arrived at the Red Bull Gallery around 8pm and as luck would have it we were all on the list and got right in, like we were important or something, almost, dare I say, VIP. The invite stressed the point that:

“… I hate VIP/Exclusive bullshit because although I now get invited to these kinds of events, it wasn’t long ago I was a starry eyed kid being told, “No, you can’t come in. You’re not on the list”

Fuck that shit. This is the ski industry, not an episode of The Hills.”

A bad iPhone photo taken on our arrival.

Looks like they got what they wanted. Once inside we were greeted by the usual ski industry types, their friends, their significant others, and their not so significant others. The gallery was set up with 2 Red Bull bars at each end that served only RBV’s and Wine, or at least that’s the impression that I got, and a DJ up on a small stage. Throughout the rest of the gallery was black couches and chairs facing a trio of large windows.

I only knew a handful of people at the premiere (7-10) and didn’t recognize anyone else from memory, the only way I could locate any of the Pros was because they were the ones wearing tight pants, shirts that read “I like girls who like girls”, headbands, overgrown hair, and one of those “not so significant others” latched to their side. There were only a couple of guys who had this look going, so I’m assuming the rest of the pros were a little more incognito.

We grabbed some drinks and shot the shit for a half hour and the movie got started.

So im lazy, and didnt finish this post.

So all in all Simon Dumont’s part was out of control, the helmet cams rocked, and following guys off jumps in the air while filming was SICK!!! The movie rocked, and this photo will end this post.
