  1. This movie had a huge impact on the path i took and had a major role in where i am with 4FRNT today. Tanners butters off that cornice, Rainville’s park segment, Seth sending a full segment of sending in bad snow, candide blowing my mind from the park to the BC, Pollard landing switch in pow, and so many other mind blowing segments. Thanks for this one Blister, it hit different!
