First Descent
The history of snow-boarding from its beginnings as a back yard hobby in the '80s, to its current status as a billion dollar recreation industry and Olympic sport. Initially ignored by 'serious' sports commentators, pioneers of the movement persevered and are now gaining their proper recognition. Nick Perata, Shawn Farmer, Terje Haakonsen and newcomers Hannah Teter and Shawn White all strut their stuff in this action-packed documentary that takes them to virgin Alaskan slopes for the rides of their lives.
