These Days: Director's Cut


Recently on iTunes I purchased a video titled "These Days." "These Days" was produced by Transworld Snowboarding, which is the biggest snowboard magazine in the world. This is the first video that Transworld Snowboarding ever produced. The version of "These Days" that I saw was the director's cut. It is basically a remix of the real movie with some additional footage and director narration. I thought the director's cut was done really well and was very intriguing. They go into talking about why they made the video, how some of the shots came about, and some behind the scenes footage the you wouldn't see in the other version. "These Days" features the newest upcoming riders throwing down all terrain. In the video they absolutely destroy street rails and backcountry booters. The riders featured in the video are Chad Otterstrom, Dustin Craven, Jonas Michilot, Jonas Carlson, Lucas Debari, Louif Paradis, Nick Dirks, Robbie Walker, Tim Eddy and Jed Anderson. In my opinion I thought Jed Anderson had the best part in the director's cut. Jed is a young ripper out of Canada who throws down crazy tricks. His style is unreal. In my opinion I thought the director's cut was put together really well and made me really want to see the real version. In conclusion, I would rate this movie 4.5 snowboards out of 5.
