Video Review: Stack Footy

From the guys that brought you last year's video Thanks Brain, Stack Footy presents us with some of the most creative riding I've ever seen. Just when you think every trick had been invented, these guys take it to a whole new level with one-footed anything and everything. And beyond that, they even throw down some fully unstrapped maneuvers as if they were riding skateboards.

This video features riders including Scott Stevens, Sean Genovese, Nick Visconti, Jesse Burtner, Pat Milbery, and Mark Thompson. I like to think of these guys as "America's best jibbers", but that's not meant to take away from their backcountry talent. They can still stomp solid in pow.

Each intro segment begins with older clips from the riders' past, making the editing and video quality seem very amateur - though that may be what they were going for. However, if you can look past the low grade videography and intentionally choppy editing, you will definitely see some of the most impossible tricks ever thrown down. Unfortunately that's no longer good enough for a perfect score in the snowboard vid world.
