Shadows Above the Glacier sounds a little pretentious, and it is, but it’s also made by Italians, which is fantastic! Italians can pull off pretentious if they don’t take themselves too seriously, and this edit hits the right balance.

This prequel features Nicolo’ Pezzato, Devid De Palma, Tato Chiala, Oivind Fykse, Jakub Szaradek, Gianmarco Maiocco and Luca Fiorini; alongside their Belgian/Deutch friends Kas Lemmens,  Jesse Augustinus and Veroniqi Hanssen who rode with Ollie Dutton at the Burton Jibfest in June.
