Burton “B” movie review
With temperatures reaching almost 30ºC in a place I currently live, usually around September I’m starting to miss my hometown, Warsaw. This year I was be able to go there late September and lucky for me I was there just in time to see the first screening of “B” movie. Warsaw was Burton’s first stop on their European “B” tour that will continue visiting the biggest european cities until mid December!
The movie actually convinced me that Burton is still a snowboarding trendsetter. Everything shown in the movie was really great which really shouldn’t be of any surprise to anyone as Burton still has one of the most talented teams with Shaun White, Jussi Oksanen, Keegan Valaika, Nicolas Muller, Fredrik Kalbermatten and of course Jeremy Jones.
Riding was great and stylish and some tricks shown were really mind blowing and looked totally effortless. All of the riders had something special to show; Jussi Oksanen’s style looked fun and natural, Shaun White was as usual daring and perfectly effortless in his half pipe stunts, Nicolas Muller’s part was joyful all-round snowboarding I particularly like. Finally Jeremy Jones did some cool stunts and his usual urban jibbing with really cool “shove-it” skate board trick. (Don’t tell me you were not wondering how he does it; here is the secret: he uses bindings with serration filed off from the bindings under plate that allows him to perform one-footed airs)
There are some great parts from amazing locations, some really sick powder riding and in the last 10 minutes of the film you finally understand where the title of the movie comes from when a massive “B” shape snow park is being constructed. All this together with great editing proves that Burton definitely knows how to put together a great video. Just check out the trailer!
I also liked the music very much that was a quite unusual but great mix of some pop with classic rock, soul and funk. On the top of all that editing and special visual effects made me really enjoy the whole picture. But there is nothing better then seeing a movie and deciding for yourself!
