3 GNU Meal

VHS

Produced by GNU Meal. This experimental video is a bizarre combination of snowboarding and abstract horror. It contains footage of snowboarders riding in the mountains and catching huge air interwoven with completely unrelated footage.

Eerie sound effects, echoes, music, and speech are used throughout. There is a rapping snowboarder. Boarders: Mike Olson, Fred Lomax, Peter Saari, Gwyn Howat, Suzi Riggins, Jean Higgins, Carter Turk, Randy Havens, Jeff Davis, Jeff Van Kleek, Matt Cummins, Amy Howat, Chris Karol, and Kris Jamieson.
