Documentary chronicles the rebellious, inspiring and sometimes controversial rise of snowboarding-as seen through the eyes of the snowboarders setting the standards and breaking the boundaries of this worldwide phenomenon.

Film spotlights a handful of snowboarding’s early pioneers (including Shawn Farmer, Nick Perata and Terje Haakonsen) and some of the ultra-sponsored superstar phenoms at snowboarding’s current cutting edge (Shaun White and Hannah Teter) and literally takes them to the edge the snow blanketed mountains of Alaska where these five icons face some of the most challenging and hard core natural terrain on the planet.

Leading up to their first descent, the crew of five share their stories, comparing viewpoints, individual lifestyles, and unedited opinions on the evolution of snowboarding that began as a delinquent child of skiing and now stands as an international cultural movement that has permanently changed the face of winter sports.
