  Greg Stump's Foursome - Greg Stump Box Set By: VAS Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 3 More Information Classic  On: 2008-04-17Extreme Skiing was officially born after The Blizzard of Ahhhs! Must-see for anyone serious about skiing. Nuff sed. The Wait is Finally Over On: 2008-03-20I owned these great ski movies on VHS and have been waiting and wondering if they would ever come out on DVD. They finally did and I bought them without any hesitation. These classic movies show incredible skiing by the likes of Greg Schmidt, Glen Plake and others with a great soundtrack. They are, in my opinion, just the right blend between a Warren Miller ski movie (which are boring to me) and any of the newer, ski movies by Matchstick Productions or Teton Gravity Research (which are too intense). Unlike the neon and pastel ski outfits worn by some of the skiers, these movies are classics and will never get old. A mighty Stump On: 2008-01-13These are four of the finest examples of ski film making in the history of the genre: "The Blizzard Of Aahhhs", "License To Thrill", "Groove Requiem In The Key Of Ski" and "P-Tex, Lies & Duct Tape". The unique character of Greg Stump shines through on all of these films and he is truly a gift to the world of skiing. Each of these films posesses the soul of a Stax recording. In fact, a big part of what sets these films apart from the myriad other ski films available is the carefully researched soundtracks. Stump doesnt stop at the obvious, but digs deep into the catalogues of such record labels as Londons ZTT to uncover some real hidden gems. As a young, budding musician and music lover my life was changed by watching these films and for that I will be eternally grateful to Stump. While others produce ski "flicks", Stump actually produces films - works of (gulp) art which, I sincerely believe, will endure. The sensitivity he has displayed in his work is certainly worthy of admiration. Thanks, Stumpy.
