Movie Reviews of Warren Miller's Ride

Summary: 5 Stars
I can't ski. Neither can my younger sister....who was given full ski
gear by a rich friend one day. But she just couldn't bend her legs
correctly. "This isn't your sport, is it?", my sister's rich friend
said, kindly, finally.
But my mom was born in Montreal Canada -- and could ski! So, naturally, I HAD to watch this documentary when I chanced upon it recently on TV.
Wow! Skiers who scale the highest cliffs! iSkiers who ski in unison, like the Radio City Rockettes! Skiers
going down hill in unison, like a combination of a marching band and cheerleaders...(on skis!) A helpful, enthusiastic commentary! Snowboarding is also displayed! Totally wonderful, for anyone who skis, knows someone who skis, or wants to see what the human spirit can happily produce!
Except for one spectacular skier, (who skis on ONE ski, WITHOUT poles!), all, or most, of these skiers, use two skis, and also use ski poles to help balance themselves. I doubt that I'm the only person who realizes that not only skiers, but those who use crutches, use two "poles" to help balance themselves, and get around. No -- crutches are NOT ski poles, and ski poles are NOT crutches. But what both crutches and ski poles have in common, is that they are symbols of the "indomidable Human Spirit", which, if let free to do it's own thing, does truly wonderful things, indeed!
Whenever you feel you "can't" do something....watch this DVD! It's spectacular skiing...and spectacular motivation. Even if, like myself, you can't ski -- you will get inspiration and motivation to do the things YOU do best!
Highest recommendation! Ten (or Twenty!) Stars : )
Summary of Warren Miller's Ride
Ride is awesome adventure snowboarding as you have never seen it! It?s breathtaking adventure in spectacular locations, from the radical drops of Whistler Mountain, British Columbia, to the vertical exhilaration of skiing Russia. Share the thrills of helicopter drops into fresh powder, unimaginable inclines and heart-stopping speeds with 2002 Olympians and world-famous snowriders!This dazzling Ride begins with a bang: A terrific piece about Whistler's avalanche hunters, i.e., a team of explosives experts who begin their days blowing away potentially lethal slides before skiers hits steep slopes. Typical of Miller's films, Ride globetrots through some of the most exciting and exotic places on Earth to capture Hollywood-caliber (and often better) footage of extreme snow-sporting. Among these hot spots, so to speak, are New Zealand (where a high mountain considered holy by the Maori offers some interesting downhill challenges), the North Cascades (particularly a couple of breathtaking sites accessible only by helicopter), France (where a resort harvests ski-able snow from ice-fishing), and Breckenridge, Colorado (where snowboarders bounce along the famous Breckenridge Bumps). A highlight is a ski trip in Russia, where three Americans catch a bus through a war zone to reach, as one fellow puts it, "the top of Europe." --Tom Keogh
