Elektro’s Vancouver Premiere last night at the Library Square was wicked!
The movie had all the right ingredients: great riders doing great riding and tricks, beautiful cinematography and editing, good music, which was not all electro music by the way, but really good nonetheless (the soundtrack list is at the end of this post).
I thought a snowboard movie premiere in a pub was kind of odd at first, but then I realized that the only sports that pubs ever showcase on their screens are generally sports I am really not into (soccer, hockey, etc.) so I am not going to complain and hopefully this might start a trend.
Craig Beaulieu (featured in the movie) was there with Push.ca interviewing some people that I didn’t know/recognize so I apologize in advance if these people are really famous and rad!

At the end of the movie there were some giveaways. Craig Beaulieu and the DJs were throwing jackets, snowboard pants, DVDs, Whistler passes, T shirts… Sam and I tried our luck but we got a little intimidated by all the pushing and screaming. I am especially looking at you, yes you evil little guy who we saw snatching stuff away from people, I really hope you have a mean hangover today!
