Noah Salasnek on Powder & Rails - Part 1

Check out more snowboarding videos at - http://www.vbs.tv/watch/powder-and-rails-season-2 ****

It took over two years, but we finally for Noah Salasnek on tape. You can thank Chris Roach for convincing Noah to oblige us. When we met up to shoot the interview at Grass Valley skate park, Noah gave me a box of 21 tapes containing some amazing skate, moto-cross, and snowmobiling footage. I included as much of Noahs personal archive as possible, but, as long as this episode runs, there just wasnt room for it all. This one goes out to the Noah nerds out there. Heres what future legend JP Walker said in his attempt to encapsulate Noahs beastliness: Noah was one of the first people to bring a heavy, skate influenced style to snowboarding. The unique thing about that is he backed up all his technical jibbing and spinning with some of the beastliest big mountain lines ever. He could even rip it in the half pipe. In my opinion he is the greatest all round snowboarder that ever lived.

Why the fuck doesn't Fall Line Films doesn't release all these classic movies ?!? It's a tragedy to not be able to get this stuff on DVD. Imagine a Fall Line Films Boxset...SICK !
