Comments:
Unlike a many snowboard videos, Lil� Bastards provides the viewer some entertainment beyond snowboarding. You will see skateboarding, wrestling, jet boating, snowmobiling, GT snow racing, golf, late night brawls, off-roading in New Zealand in a rental car, food fights, vehicular food fights, naked wrestling, drinking, gambling and pulling chicks.
While the actual snowboarding footage is not up to the TB/Standard Films caliber, it still provides impressive powder turns, a good mix of style, location, terrain, and technical Mack Dawg-like rail sliding and huge hit hucking, flipping and spinning.
Other highlights include: Chris Brown running the Ninja get-up during multiple clips, photographer Scott Serfas, taking a dump out in the wildlife, and late night art projects. The soundtrack is the best I have ever heard, including hip-hop, Backstreet Boys (during Max Jenke's part) and other appropriate songs to each clip and/or personality.
Cheers to the Wildcats and Iris Snow for making this video and a special thanks to whoever helped raise these "lil� bastards".
Star Performances
Best Puke: It was an even race between Kale Stephens and Dave Cashen until the end, when Kale scored bonus points with the value added snot rocket.
Best Performance by a Fan: No doubt about it, hands down, this was the funniest part of the whole video. When Devun threw an Iris beanie into the crowd at a contest, this girl caught it and lost her shit, freaking out and screaming in her native tongue, "killer!" I am positive she sleeps with the beanie every night.
Best Fall: Sean Johnson � with a tight tree turn to face plant.
Most Creative and Frequent Dance Moves: Devun Walsh
Best "Mission: Pass Out": 007 Walsh � with two nominations.
Best Effort Pulling Chicks: A tie between Chris Brown (hot tub) and Max Jenke (dance floor).
