Buggard Mouse

[kirk]

I finally got Buggard Mouse and watched it... and I was extremely impressed. The reviews I had read had not prepared me for how good the video was as a whole. This video has a feel that has been missing from most other skiboarding videos that have been on the market. Although I thought the riding in White Dwarf was great, I thought that the overall video had a 'cold' feeling that just showed the tricks and didn't reveal much about the riders. This video fixed that.

Buggard Mouse is extremely entertaining. The riding is pretty top notch. Its sort of if you combined the tech rails of White Dwarf with the airs of the old flicks, and threw in commentary and other footage that really makes the video come alive. Admittedly, a lot of the footage has been seen before (in low internet quality), and it isn't as long as most people are probably hungering for, but you have to factor in that this video pretty much exhausts the world's supply of skiboarding footage right now... The problem with getting new footage right now is that when anything is filmed, it always gets immediately posted online because everyone wants to see it quickly, and no one wants to save the good footy for a flick like this. Everyone better be saving their best stuff for Ben's new flick!

As far as the trick tips go, they are educational, but very entertaining. If anyone ever watched FronSideFilms old trick tips video, you know how boring that got after hearing the same thing explained over and over. Ben managed to throw in good tips while keeping the story entertaining with this video.

Great riding, good music, funny commentary... overall this vid is just really entertaining. It has a lot of replay value to check out the random stuff throughout it, and some of the tricks on this are getting so technical you have to watch it several times to even be able to put a name on it. Overall great video.

Hey Greco...

I was trying to pick up Buggard Mouse a few minutes ago and I ran into a bit of a problemo.

I'm out here in Iraq and, therefore, have an APO, AE address. I can only receive standard USPS mail. Is there any way you would be able to get a copy to me. If so, what should I type in when checking out? Thanks a ton.

Domo Arigato , Ben San , !!!!!

Buggard Mouse :
The Kooks are a charging in my brain ....
I look at the boards on my feet , and I see now what can be done ....
but I am 55 not 25 , but Ben san shows the way , buttery rails , riding switch , Ben San is my sensei !!
Nah, I probably would land straddle on that rail , ouch !!!!

Oh but here is something : Brett is the dah man- De Condor , he flies !!! ! jumping cornice into waist deep pow , riding pillows after a snowboarder has done it showing the skiboard way ! yeah , man , maybe I should get one of dem Condor's .. and ride like Brett , maybe , just maybe !!

Ah and there is some pretty deep sh*t , in Ben San's subliminal haiku poetry .. , but my finger is getting sore from hitting the pause button , and my head is swimming from trying to figure out what Ben San means ! But once I figure it out , maybe it will unlock the secret so I can ride like Ben San :)!

Yes , most excellent ! Ben -San ,
Domo Arigato !!!!!

Haha I was so confused the first time I watched it, and then it started to make sense and ended up as a good movie after the second time. Definitely putting it on my Creative Zen.

Oh yeah thanks reminded me I can put in on hubby's mp4 player and take on my trip to Alps next week :)
Woohoo!

Ben's commentary is really funny and you can totaly understand it second time round, it makes it much more entertaining.

Was thinking maybe if you had the trick jargon definitions appear in text briefly (like the poems) when you're talking about them that might've been cool.
No big deal though if you don't know look 'em up on this site, hehe.

it took me about ten watches to understand what on earth pretzels were

[anaesthetic]

haha, i like the pretzel bit, i wanna be able to do pretzels. didn't hit the park in alps cos i was so ill :(

[taimos]

they havent finished the park at big mountain in cham yet, so the only rail was this nutty one which i attempted but ended up carerring straight into at great speed.

so i just stuck to the kickers.

but pretty much nailed the old butters with the help of bens voice in my head going 'like love and marriage the later the butter the better'
