X-Dance Day 3 - 199 Lives

Picking up where Bra Boys and Against the Grain left off, 199 Lives is a documentary that explores the life of action sports phenomenon Travis Pastrana. At the age of 22, Travis has become a living legend as a motocross racer, FMX rider, action sports hero, film maker, and rally car driver.

Some other top notch films opened the "12 noon to 10 pm" action.

Why, directed by Taylor Congdon, is a Transworld MX film by The Assignment "juxtaposing the rider's intense talents on their bikes with their own unique personalities off" with plenty of quotes from Greek philosophers.

The sixth and final short film followed. Autumn Dream, by Jenny and Brenton Gregory from the Wavestone Group, is a "mystical immersion into one surfer's dream of private gentle waves."



New Emissions of Light and Sound is a ideal description for the next film. Directed by Joe G and George Manzanilla, this film by Globe Entertainment features the music of world-famous DJ Sasha. "Sit back, relax, and open your mind..."

Lost & Found brought us back to the snow. The annual epic from Teton Gravity Research ends with one of the most intense big mountain snowboard scenes ever, as Jeremy Jones slays Alaskan peak after Alaskan peak in a dance with the devil. You have to see it to understand! Check out the trailer below or on nossaTV.



Source was a movie that I was truly looking forward to. Directed by Rush Sturges, and Produced by Brooks Baldwin and Marlow Long, all of Young Gun Productions, this movie did not disappoint. Traveling all over the world to document the most intense whitewater kayaking and waterfall descents, they even find time to call attention to endangered rivers. We hope to add the YGP's videos to the stable on nossaTV very soon.

The Windsurfing Movie is the much anticipated film from Johnny DeCesare of Poor Boyz Productions. Breaking from his ski movie heritage, DeCesare teams up with Jace Panebianco and Levi Siver to document the resurgence of windsurfing. Featuring an incredible musical score with music from The Rolling Stones, it has been called "the definitive film on the history of the sport."

An absolutely packed house greeted Travis Pastrana for his second film of X-Dance, 199 Lives. The show was sold out earlier in the day, and that meant standing room only, even on the balcony. Godfrey Entertainment delivered with one of the most memorable films in the history action sports. If you missed it, go see it soon, you be glad you did!
