Escape is the second movie coming out of the Colorado based FlowStateCrew. The movie has evolved from showing off what it takes to get out and do what they do, to actually a true Core snowboard movie showcasing some of Colorado’s finest snowboarders stepping away from everyday life to head into the backcountry and ride the way they love most. The film brings together pros like Seth Hill and Chris Corning, rising talents such as Hayden Tyler, and dedicated locals including Corbin Hladick, Nicki Weiss, and Ty Dewitt. Rather than chasing the industry spotlight or relying on snowboarding’s biggest names, Escape turns its focus to the riders who are putting in the time and effort simply because they love it. That shift makes the film more relatable while also proving there’s a whole world of snowboarders outside the contest scene who can ride big lines, go huge off jumps, and still bring the fun that makes a snowboard movie worth watching. Escape was filmed over the course of 40 days, 100% in Colorado. While much of the Core snowboard scene has moved to Utah and Washington, there is still a very active scene in CO and the FlowStateCrew is working hard to bring it together and showcase as many great riders and locations possible. This grit before fame, and get it done mentality has produced some amazing content and were excited to show it off.
