Watch Red Bull Supernatural

In 2012, Red Bull Media House released the snowboarding documentary movie, Red Bull Supernatural. This movie starring some of the biggest names in the snowboarding world, including Travis Rice, John Jackson, and Mark Landvik. The movie follows the journey of these pro snowboarders as they undertake the ultimate backcountry snowboarding competition, the Red Bull Supernatural.

The movie begins with a brief introduction to the event, its format, and its unique features. Unlike traditional snowboarding competitions, the Red Bull Supernatural focuses on freestyle snowboarding on natural terrain. The organizers of the event, including Travis Rice himself, scouted a location in the backcountry of Baldface Lodge, Canada, to find the perfect location for the competition. They identified a unique, steep and powdery mountain slope, and the course was built with 80 natural features, including cliffs, drops, and trees.

The best snowboarders from around the world were invited to compete in this exclusive event. There was no qualifying round, and only 18 competitors earned the honor to ride in the natural snowboarding arena at Baldface Lodge. The competition was held over a two-week window to ensure that the riders would have the best possible conditions for the competition.

The movie then takes us behind the scenes, showing us the meticulous planning and preparation that went into setting up the competition course. The riders, including the three main stars, take a few practice runs. We get to see some of the challenges of riding on natural terrain, including sudden changes in snow conditions and difficult landings. The riders also discuss their strategies and the challenges they anticipate, agreeing that the difficult and unpredictable terrain would be the ultimate test of their skills.

As the competition gets underway, we see some breathtaking snowboarding action, including amazing aerial stunts, high-speed runs, and technical maneuvers through the rugged terrain. The riders take turns riding down the course, each trying to put on the best performance possible. We see some impressive displays of skill, courage, and creativity, including a number of impressive 720-degree spins, cliff drops, and high-speed traverses of the steep and powdery slope.

The judges evaluate the performance of each rider, based on three criteria: amplitude, fluidity, and control. The riders are also given the option to rerun their runs, to try and improve their scores. The competition culminates with the riders putting their best and most impressive performances for the grand finale.

Throughout the movie, we see amazing footage of snowboarding on natural terrain, which is much more challenging and unpredictable than traditional park snowboarding. We see how the riders need to adapt to the changing terrain, snow conditions, and weather patterns. We also see the importance of strategy, as the riders need to find the right balance between risks and rewards.

One unique feature of the competition was the use of a state-of-the-art scoring system, which used a combination of GPS tracking and accelerometer data to record the motions of the riders. This system not only provided a more accurate and objective way of scoring, but also gave the riders and spectators a deeper understanding of how the riders were performing.

Red Bull Supernatural is a fantastic movie for anyone who loves snowboarding, adventure, and competition. The movie offers a glimpse into the world of extreme snowboarding, showing us the skills, courage, and creativity that are required to become a top snowboarder. It is also a visual feast, with stunning footage of natural snowboarding, which makes us appreciate the beauty and power of nature. Overall, Red Bull Supernatural is a must-watch movie for anyone who loves to snowboard, or who simply appreciates the beauty and excitement of extreme sports.
