All of the skiers in the film–park rat or big mountain charger–share a common bond: the overwhelming desires to ski. Each person finds stoke in his own unique way, whether it be a double cork 1260, a deep turn on a storm day or ripping a giant AK line. Skiing is an incredibly diverse sport that offers it all. With the progressive skiingand award-winning cinematography that has made MSP famous, MSP Films takes you along for the ride deep into the experience as we share the love for the greatest sport in the world.
“Earthed 4“: Death or Glory – reeks of the same handpicked juju juice-berries of previous Rankin releases, only it’s even more focused. Featuring every World Cup round from 2006, from the sunny beaches of Brazil and Spain, to the drenched mountain-tops of Scotland and Quebec, the fine line between Death or Glory is so close you can taste it. Having witnessed one of the most competitive years ever in the world of DH racing, to find those extra 100th seconds is harder than ever before, this film documents the speed and skill that the top pro riders have to find to stay on top of their game, and in some cases staying alive.
