Snowbored? (2007)
When you think of snowboarding, you think of perfect weather, perfect snow conditions, nice pow pow lines, backcountry kickers, just you and your buddies out there in the woods, or maybe a perfect shaped park and pipe. But reality sometimes teaches us something different- totally overcrowded resorts, the best lines are already taken by others, the 'secret spot’ was also hit by someone else, and the waitress in the bar just dated your best friend. No wonder that you get a little 'snowbored’ once in a while. But Snowbored? is anything else than boring! This movie, brought to you by the guys from mellow mood productions out of switzerland, is about to show you that all the waiting for the perfect day is worth it. Riders like Markus Keller, Gian Simmen, Danny Kass, Stephan Maurer, Jon Cartwright and others will show their skills in every terrain you could imagine and will make you long for the next season to come!

In Pursuit of Soul 2: Midwest Independence was filmed on location at Buck Hill, Caberfae Peaks, Granite Peak, Little Switzerland, Lutsen Mountains, Nordic Mountain, The Rock Snowpark, and Tyrol Basin.

Hyped! (2012)
The idea for Hyped! is that the film shall convey the feeling of ultimate excitement. We are trying to focus more on how fun snowboarding actually is, not how hard it is. People can expect seeing their favorite Nitro riders riding stuff that the viewer hopefully can relate to more. Instead of only showing the best tricks on the perfect locations (we will show that as well), we are trying to show how the Nitro riders are snowboarding when all pressure is off. The goal is to capture that feeling you get when you are riding with your best friends, on a perfect day, and you never wanna stop riding.
