Outstanding, such an inspiration. Nicely done...

Growing up being mixed white and Asian, being amongst predominantly white people in school and University in the UK. Then getting into the ski and snowboard industry. Don't think I ever saw much diversity at all. I'm in Japan now, so it's the opposite in such a homogenous society. I'm really glad to see a film like this, I hope this also happens throughout Europe. Skiing and snowboarding are not cheap sports and therefore there's a huge economic hurdle to even enter this world. Yes you can work, but the pay is generally not great. I hope to see more pros being sponsored like Brolin in the future.

@@drott150 Are you like 5 years old and live in your parents basement while insulting people online? That's what I thought. Your comment is highly disrespectful of Jimmy and Broulins stories, unnecessary and immature. Whats your point other than to be an a-hole anonymously?
