Snowboard video soundtracks could be the most important part of the video. Sick riding, clever camera work, artsy fartsy stuff is important…but if you slap some weak-ass track over all that hard work…forget it–it’s forgotten. Picking the right tune can make the video timeless.
For example, Absinthe Film’s Transcendence which came out in 2001, right about when snowboarding was going down the crapper, is a movie that i consider to be “timeless.” Everytime i hear the “Beatles – A Day In The Life” i picture a dude in a pink bunny suit going ape shit at Mt. Hood. Check the video below if you need a refresher:
Once of my other favorite soundtracks is from Robot Food’s 2002 Afterbang. Great soundtrack and the video was so rad. Definitely had a unique style to it. More of a goofing-off-with-your-friends feel than the yo’d out Mack Dawg schtuff. Check out the teaser below:
Here’s the tunes from the soundtrack:
Happy Friday.
sounds like sissy music to me
pretty much. maybe that’s why i wreck all the time.
Volcom’s “The Garden” is high on my list
I was going to mention that one, also Subject : Haakon is classic. Check out magna plasm, volcom surf video. Great soundtrack on that on too.
sure, just steal Robert Smiths' intellectual property to make it look rad. Way to go Robot food. Just like heaven? more like Just like hiesten!
agreed. solberg also has sick style and stomps everything with both feet landing at the same time. so solid. another great video soundtrack is from A Young Brown Walsh. the shortys video that came out in 97. kevin young, dionne delesalle, chris brown and devun walsh. rad soundtrack.

Not sure about snow, last flick I saw was the T Rice one last year, which had a great soundtrack.
Been all about the surf down here this week, shredskis, the Dane Renolds movie has a good one. Put it in for some stoke the other night. I so need to go to Morroco. Right.
that one did have a good soundtrack. got me rocking Screaming Trees again.
