An out of the box Snowboard Film by PIRATE MOVIE PRODUCTION coproduced by RED BULL MEDIA HOUSE. This unusual Snowboard action movie brings together some of the best european riders, an award-winning production crew and locations every snowboarder dreams of, all blending into one outstanding action packed visual experience. Join a tight group of snowboard professionals on their journeys around the globe, always on the hunt for the best snow, the biggest jumps, the gnarliest lines and the most unique features. From the streets of Russia and Canada, to the mystical forests of Japan; from the steepest mountains of India and Alaska to the endless possibilities of the European Alps; to the spiritual slopes of Greenland, we not only captured the action but also the sense of traveling.

The Nitro Snowboard Team, stands for a group of individuals who enjoy living a life outside the norm that society has set. They snowboard how they want, all day - everyday. The idea of their new movie Good times was to capture how these guys ride when they are together and just snowboarding for fun, not necessarily for capturing the best trick on the biggest feature. Snowboarders will always push themselves and amazing things happen, but there are also a lot of fun situations along the way.

Join international snowboard professionals - Gigi Rüf , Elias Elhardt, Kazu Kokubo and Toni Kerkela - on their journey around the globe to determine which path leads to a life well-lived, always on the hunt for the best snow, the gnarliest lines, the most unique features.

Gigi Rüf and Elias Elhardt share a passion for exploring the unknown. The journey to find new lines is as much a part of the soul of snowboarding as the turns themselves. Together, they create high-velocity art in the deep snow of the backcountry.

There is more to winter than cold, short and dark days – there is a group of people who live for the winter and the opportunities it provides for having fun.

The Nitro family will take you through a journey of why they pursue the snowboarding dream and how all their different lines lead to the same conclusion – it´s all about the freedom, friends, and fun. Snowboarding is as inspiring and fun as you make it, it´s an escape from reality – the possibilities are endless.
