During the Burton World Tour a few months ago, before the snow started falling, there was electricity in the air to meet and greet the Burton Pro’s before the premier of “For Right or Wrong” and the Process 5.
As the movie unfolded and everyone, including me walked away with their jaws on the floor and our hearts on the mountains, the wait would be bitter sweat until the flakes started falling and the lifts at your local resort where turning.

KAB Rails have been busy working hard building new features for some of your favorite resorts. We asked them what’s new and what they look forward to riding themselves.

How is the movie going to be distributed this year?
It’s going to be distributed through Future Snowboard Magazine and it comes out November 7 on newsstands.  It’s the December issue of Future, so there are 200,000 full lengths coming out.  The teaser is in the Future Snowboard that is out right now and with X-Box Magazine and Play Station magazine.  So between the teasers and full length version there is over a million copies.

How long did the video take to film?
All the riding, and the chase scenes, the bond scenes with Shaun White were filmed between February and the end of April.  Then the green screen shoot and interior cabin scene in early June out in Hollywood and Pasadena, CA, which was really cool.  We shot the interior cabin scene with Shaun White and a Russian actress who performed as a Russian Spy.  Then a green screen for the introduction of the movie and follows the opening scene of the movie follows the whole Bond theme.  All the stuff was done after the mountain was closed.  In December I took out a loan on my house, got the movie rolling, got the distribution, got the riders, Shaun was on board and was the only movie he filmed for this season.  You’ll see him in other stuff two seasons ago, but as far as movies he filmed for this season, this was the only one.  I got the resort to back it and they were %100 behind it and so I didn’t have to worry about the money coming out of my pocket anymore.  It was definitely something I wanted to do for the last three years.  I just had this idea of filming a James Bond parody and doing the skit and introduction, which is reminiscent of a James Bond movie.  The movie then shows traditional park segments, which is the body of the movie.  It has our other riders in it like, Aaron Biittner, Scotty Arnold, Mark Frank Montoya, Danny Davis, Erin Comstock, Drew Fuller, and Stevie Bell.  There is just a really good line up.  It showcases the mountain well and the riders have different parts.  The credit section is really cool where we use the same kind of silhouetted graphics, with behind the scenes stuff and motion graphics that we use in the introduction of the movie.
