Heath Frisby
Slednecks Mix Tape Vol. 3
Almost two decades ago, before there were any other sled films or X Games, a small group of friends started running around the mountains of Wyoming with an old film camera and some snowmobiles. They called themselves Slednecks. This group of rebels began jumping their snowmobiles higher and farther than anyone ever had. They searched out steeper mountain faces to descend and deeper powder to destroy. Their new style of riding was laughed at by traditional snowmobilers and their punk rock fuck authority attitude got them blacklisted by a conservative industry. This rebel army fought and clawed their way to continue making films with one goal in mind, to revolutionize the sport. The Slednecks army has had many soldiers step up to the front lines and lead the charge. Chris Brown is now on his tenth tour of duty. Since Slednecks 7, Chris has been one of the most well rounded snowmobilers on the planet. Whether he is launching huge cliffs, carving technical lines thru tight trees or charging his turbo up narrow chutes, Chris Brown is always pushing the limits of himself and the sport. There are only a small amount of people on the planet who have the skills and courage to be pioneers. Heath Frisby, Joe Parsons, and the Moore brothers are some of those people. They continue to invent new tricks and do things they were told were impossible. MixTape 3 showcases them in what may be the best ever Winter X Games competition. Many of the new young guns of the sport credit the Slednecks film series as the spark that got them into the sport. One of those athletes is Brad Gilmore. He is a true big mountain bad ass. Brad's segment from Slednecks 16 is one of our all-time favorites so we included it for your viewing pleasure. The Slednecks MixTape series pays tribute to those early pioneers, and to the wave of soldiers that marched behind them, revolutionizing a sport forever. New footage, new edits, and new interviews make this a must have for any fan of Slednecks.
Winter Project
Winter Project is a true story snowmachine documentary about backcountry snowmachining in Alaska. This film will touch on the early days of riding in Alaska, Iron Dog (aka the gnarliest backcountry race on Earth), todays free riding scene, snowmobile olympics (x-games), and will pay special tribute to the early days of backcountry filming by featuring the legendary Landry twins of Turnagain Hard Core film series and the founders of Frontier Films. This film promises to be a mind blowing ride into the world of snowmobiling like it has never been seen before. The production team behind this film includes two emmy award winners - Kyle Aramburo & Richard Cooper, "On the Pipe” moto film legend Jay Schweitzer, and to–date the most successful action sports kickstarter campaign in the world.
Counter Balance
208 Productions is back in full force for 2013 after taking a 2 year break and producing 2 award winning snowmobile films for 509 Films, with the release of one of the years most highly anticipated films, Counter Balance. Counter Balance takes a look at why we love to ride untouched powder, ripping technical lines, epic road trips, and the camaraderie of good friends. Shot on Red Digital Cinema and Phantom cameras, "Counter Balance" takes snowmobile cinematography to new levels.
Slednecks 14
Featuring the world renowned Slednecks team, Slednecks 14 showcases the best snowmobilers pushing the limits of the sport. Kalle “KJ” Johansson backs up his inaugural performance in Slednecks 13 with another mind blowing backcountry display of technical lines and huge air. Newcomers Brad Gilmore, Tyler Blair, and Grant Clarke set a new standard with big drops and bigger air, while Cory Micku shows off his technical riding skills. Chris Burandt and Sahen Skinner continue their backcountry boondocking adventure through the Rockies, while Dan Treadway, Rob Alford, and Geoff Kyle seek out the deepest snow ever caught on camera. Cory Davis and the AK crew represent hard with some seriously dirty whips and sick backcountry tricks in the huge mountains of the last frontier. Slednecks 14 is on point with the latest progression of the sport captured beautifully on high definition video for all to see. Enjoy! Filmed in British Columbia, Alaska, and Colorado.
Slednecks 13
Once again the Slednecks team has taken snowmobiling to a whole new level. Slednecks 13 features some of the most progressive riding our cameras have ever caught on film. Heath Frisby returns to the film series with the goal of winning Gold at X. Chris Burandt's technical tree lines will leave you speechless. Paul Thacker and Cory Davis turn Alaska into a playground. Dan Treadway, Chris Brown, and Geoff Kyle rip up some of the deepest powder ever to hit British Columbia, while Cody Borchers and Brett Turcotte take freestyle tricks to the backcountry. Slednecks 13 also introduces a new star, Kalle “KJ” Johansson, that is redefining backcountry riding with amazing drops and technical lines. Shot on beautiful High Definition, the cinematography is almost as good as the riding. Slednecks 13 is the best film we have made in years!
