Recently I picked up my copy of Loon Mountain's first terrain park video titled, "FUN: A Parkumentary." FUN is a promotional DVD that features the riding of Tanner McCarty, Rob Conners, Chris Carr, Luke Mathison, Andre Beriau, Kevin Bicknell and some other local riders. The movie was filmed entirely at Loon Mountain. The intention for the movie was to be a good way to show everyone what the Loon Mountain Park (LMP) has to offer. Last year, Loon Mountain's Park Staff really stepped it up and was voted, "Best Park on the East" by every major snowboard publication. Loon Mountain features 5 terrain park ranging in ability level, with scattered "secret parks" all over. The movie itself was fairly short, and I didn't think it was put together all that well. One thing I really didn't like was the intro. The intro was about 6 to 10 clips shot on I-93 from Boston, MA to Lincoln, NH. It appeared to be somewhat amature. Also, I thought there should have been more footage of local shreds, and more shots on the numerous setups that Loon had last year. In my opinion I didn't think the video represented "The Best Park on the East"well at all. I thought it looked pretty cheap and half-hearted. In conclusion, I would definitely check out the video, but don't expect too much. I would give this video 2.5 snowboards out of a possible 5.
