Does anyone know the title of the song when the skiers and snowboarders are doing tricks "slow-mo" off the jump as well as going in a spiral around the camera. This scene was close to the end and the song includes the lyrics "I wanna fly higher" and many more like this one. I don't care about anything else in the movie, I just want the name of the song. I love this song and want to listen to it for myself as I am going down the slopes. I have been looking all over the internet but without a title to go by, this means that I have had little success in my search. Hopefully some suggestions could help.thanks!

I am going to go buy an Audi. These cars are fantastic! Did you know that the famous singer Pink drives an Audi? Audi's four-wheel drive cars can drive up the sides of mountains, fly through the air, and even drive across the surface of a lake! Not only that, but the on-dash display can show the car's wry comments! (This car is funnier than Knight Rider's KITT!) Okay, so some guys are riding their motorcycles, trying to get to the top of the peaks at Aspen, but the bikes malfunction, and explode, and it's up to mega-rock-star-diva Pink to give them a ride to the top of the peak, where women ski with poodles off the sides of the mountain, only to para-glide to safety. In addition to music by Pink, the soundtrack features a bunch of Euro-pop sounding anthems that make me yearn for the good old days of ABBA. The mountain locations are really pretty, and are inter-cut with a cityscape (Denver?) in a hallucinogenic fashion suggesting that this whole movie may just be the fantasy of a guy stuck in traffic, who just WISHES that his motorbike would explode so Pink would rescue him with her flying car. As such, this film becomes a cautionary tale on the dehumanization of our society by urban environments and its potential redemption by the power of winter sports.

I really adore this movie, it is one of the best imax movies I ever saw. Maybe thats the reason why I watched it five times. Unbelievable scenes from snowboarding, skiing, motocross, paragliding, together with a real great soundtrack. I'm sure I'm gonna watch and enjoy it a again!

It seems that the makers could not decide on making a movie with a plot or just record the action as is. The result is neither a proper movie, or a documentary. Although some of the footage shot in the mountains is impressive on Imax-scale, the ski-action itself is disappointing, and makes up only half of the movie ( at best ). Furthermore the movie misses the esthetics of "Vertical Zoo" Y2Ski, or the sheer action in movies from MSP like "Ski Movie".Lack of plot or story-line is own to the genre, but it can and should be compensated by the action. People that have access to the Extreme-sports channel or have seen the latest ski and snow-board movies will be disappointed, for others it the movie is worth while seeing in Imax format and is reasonable entertaining. But it doesn't live up to its title.
