THE ART OF FLIGHT

Red Bull certainly gives you wings (and to the lesser extent, energy) but to the men in The Art of Flight, Red Bull gives them a surge of courage to be at one with a mountain side, and snowboard vertically down it; flipping and landing perfectly.

Over a space of two-years the movie/documentary was filmed in different exotic locations around the globe, including Antarctica, Canada and South America; one foreign place named “The Devil's Land” where they push the boundaries and risk the safety of themselves and the crew for the urge of the new. This is the sole reason they do it, a discovery of the unknown and pushing the limits of the sport they love.

The Art of Flight follows not only the amazing stunts of snowboarders Travis Rice, John Jackson, Mark Landvik, Scotty Lago, Nicolas Müller, DCP, Mark McMorris, Jake Blauvelt, Pat Moore and Jeremy Jones, but also documents their travels and the trials and tribulations they encounter.

Red Bull’s technique of filming is beyond explanation. The crew behind the production of the film and those they collaborate with are of the utmost in their genres – The best of the best.

The extensive documentary of extreme snowboarding was one of the best filmed documentaries I have ever watched. Being 3D it gave an even more extreme look at the sport and the art behind snowboarding. Sitting with my mouth locked in a permanent state of shock at the extraordinary moves of these sportsmen; more so artists of their profession.

The Red Bull Media House sports actions film was made in association with Brain Farm Digital Cinema, a Curt Morgan film. The insight in to the world of extreme sports takes you on a journey with some of the bravest men in unexplored territory and mountains in remote corners of the world.

The juxtaposition of the inspiring music, slow-motion antics and courage blend well in to a well spent hour-and-a-half of watching the unordinary. The true essence of what Red Bull exudes.
