PEOPLE

Mack Dawg Productions is so good at making great snowboard videos that they have put out three movies (see also Follow Me Around and Jumping with Jussi) this year including the awesome People DVD. If you were a fan of KidsKnow (Love/Hate) and Neoproto (Neoproto) films, you will instantly recognize that same look and feel with People. That's because Justin Eeles and Pierre Minhondo were hired by MDP to come up with a snowboard movie that was a little outside of the normal MDP box of superstar riders, super-clean slo-mo and giant snow features. The end result is an amazing movie that is maybe a little more artsy, but with equally good snowboarding. People sees shredders like Stephen Duke, Pat McCarthy and Jordan Mendenhall seek and destroy kinked rails, burly ledges and gnarly stumps. Other desired terrain includes off-limits dams and knee-popping drops. Top shredder Mitch Nelson proves that you don't need a trip to Alaska or a helicopter to get the most out of snowboarding; a rental car, a few bros and a lot of imagination can turn any spot into a destination. Not being strangers to mountainous terrain the People crew show that it's not all about parking garages and pavement by throwing down in real live powder. Serenading these guys are the sweet sounds of Portastatic, Ming and Ping, and the Ramones. The soundtrack is a real treat if you, like me, can only handle so much rap with your snow shred flicks.
