Before TikTok ski tricks, there was THIS — the film that made skiing punk rock.
Spurred by the re-invention of twin tip skis in recent years, the skiing industry and culture had been at once revolutionized. Influenced by these recent changes in the perception of skiing, a new crop of riders is now pushing the limits and definition of the sport in ways never-before imagined’¦ they are, the Second Generation. Shot on location throughout North America, Europe, and Japan, Second Generation features the newest and most influential players in the new-school freeskiing scene, and follows them throughout the 00-01 season in their quest to push the limits of the sport. Featuring the most progressive skiing stunts and exploits ever caught on film, including Dave Crichton’s still legendary first movie segment, Second Generation will forever change the way you look at the sport of skiing.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film arrived right as snowboarding's dominance peaked, and skiing needed a full rebrand — 'Second Generation' was the manifesto that made skiing cool again.
Dave Crichton's legendary segment was reportedly filmed in just a few days, yet became the most referenced piece of freeskiing footage for nearly a decade.
