Video Review: "Bon Voyage"

When I was picking out which snowboard videos to buy this year, I will honestly say that "Bon Voyage" by Videograss was not my top pick.  I didn't have very high expectations for it; I bought it mainly because I wanted to see Jed Anderson's part.  However, I couldn't have been any more pleased with my choice.  Jed of course killed it; the part really shows how versatile a jibber he is.  He knows how to session a rail; he lands over ten tricks on one (definitely my favorite section of the video)!  But everyone else threw down too!  Mikey LeBlanc is of course up to his old shenanigans, just wait for the stair ollie at the end!  Alex Cantin also has a sick opener; he is inhumanly smooth on rails.  One of my favorite Salt Lake City shredders Chris Grenier has a banger part; he makes every trick look so easy (his backyard demolition shenanigans are pretty damn entertaining too).  Think Thank riders Johnny Miller and Gus Engle also have great parts.  Legends Darrell Mathes, Jon Kooley, and Jordan Mendenhall also kill it; especially Mendenhall.  I haven't seen him in a video since "Burning Bridges" and he definitely steps his game up.  His last trick is intense!  The editing was great as well; their filler had me laughing pretty hard and the intro artwork for each rider was really cool.  Definitely a suggested buy; it might not have the mind blowing progression like Standard but it's got some solid riders and great tricks.
