What does it take to ski off a 100-foot cliff? Professional skier & entrepreneur Julian Carr joins Amie Engerbretson to discuss his new film, ‘There Will Be Fear: The Julian Carr Story,’ a retrospective on his career and the process behind his massive airs. We talk about making the film; revisiting his accomplishments; what’s going through his mind before he drops; how he processes fear; and why curiosity keeps driving his exploration in the mountains.
13 years ago, one of the greatest ski movies of all time came out: ‘Valhalla.’ Today, Jonathan Ellsworth talks to Flylow president & co-founder, Dan Abrams, about the film, why it’s great, and why it holds up so well today.
‘The Flying Scotsman' isn’t your typical sports film; sure, it has incredible athletic performances, determination, and grit, but the mental health struggles intertwined in the story make it more genuine than most. Join Justin and Simon as they discuss one of Simon’s all-time favorite bike movies.
‘Here Hold My Kid — The Austrian Job’ is a hilarious follow-up to Elyse Saugstad & Jackie Paaso’s original ‘Here Hold My Kid.’ And today, Elyse is back on Blister Cinematic to talk about this new film; the first one; parenting; motherhood; kids; and more.
Xan and Simon discuss the fantastic documentary, ‘Klunkerz,’ that explores the origins of mountain biking and how partying in the woods while “klunking” down Repack somehow managed to change the world of bicycles as we know it.
