Fasten your seatbelts, movie-goers, because this is going to be one heck of a ride. The Art of FLIGHT puts the "move" in movie.
A new breed of action sports film comes to life as Red Bull Media House, in association with Brain Farm Digital Cinema, present "The Art of FLIGHT," a Curt Morgan film. Equal parts action and adventure mix with the inevitable drama encountered along the way. Two years in the making, "The Art of FLIGHT" gives iconic snowboarder Travis Rice and friends the opportunity to redefine what is possible in the mountains. Experience the highs, as new tricks are landed and new zones opened, alongside the lows, where avalanches, accidents and wrong-turns strike. For the first time, viewers are immersed in the sometimes successful, often trying quest to open up new, unexplored mountains in remote corners of the world.Holy, um, wow. "Extreme sports" doesn't begin to cover what these guys do. Was that an avalanche we saw? And what exactly goes through one's mind right before jumping out of a helicopter onto a snow-covered mountaintop? See, we told you it was a rush! The trailer alone had us gasping for breath and feeling more than a little dizzy. That's gotta be worth 30 minutes on the treadmill.
