So Far So Hood is the third film by the infamous 4bi9 crew. 4bi9 Media popped up in the freestyle skiing scene four years ago and were disrespected for their 'thug' style. Now each and every one of them are household names in the skiing industry, and praised for their innovative ideas for freestyle skiing.

So Far So Hood is approximately 35 minutes, which is a perfect length. However, for those longing for some more footage, there is an additional 35 minute bonus section staked full of unused footage. The film opens with some incredible skiing by Ryan Wyble. This was a really enjoyable segment because Wyble demonstrated a mix of tree skiing, backcountry booters, and urban handrails. From Wyble’s section on you get a mix of urban, park, and powder, a must in all ski flicks.

Interestingly enough, 4bi9 have added some new members to their crew including the likes of; Tyler Barnes, Collin Collins, John Vogt, and Sean Kubalch. It's interesting to see Vogt and Kubalch in So Far So Hood because they both snowboard; Kubalch had a banger 180 in wallride 540 out.

Tyler Barnes, Tom Wallisch, Henrik Harlaut, Steve Stepp, Oscar Harlaut, and Andrew Holsons’ parts are all a must watch. Barnes showcases his skill on booters, whereas Wallisch, and Oscar Harlaut do their magic to handrail in sight. Henrik has a banger switch 1620, and Holson has a great mix of urban and powder.

The soundtrack to So Far So Hood was surprisingly not all gangster rap. 4bi9’s past two films have had lackluster soundtracks due to the overuse of rap. However, this time their soundtrack showcased everything from disco to Wu Tang Clan.

Overall, So Far So Hood impressed me even more than Slamina! or Look it Up. 4bi9 did a great job mixing in all the elements of freesking, and created a must watch ski movie. The picture quality was crystal clear and AJ Dakoulas, the director/cinematographer, had some innovative shots through chain fences. In my opinion, So Far So Hood is a must watch.
