Watch: Stagnation - Full Part
Film: Ryan Walters, Prodigy 318 | Text: Chase Stallo
Today, Ryan Walters and Prodigy 338 released Stagnation on YouTube. Here is Chase Stallo's review of the film from the December 2014 issue of Racer X Illustrated.
With web-based videos having lead to a regression in full-length films, Stagnation is a breath of fresh air. From California-based director Ryan Walters and production company Prodigy 318, comes a true action sports movie. Infused with motocross, freestyle, snowboarding and BMX, to the backdrop of punk and rap, the film returns you to the glory days.
The heydays of Crusty Demons of Dirt brought motocross videos to life. It was in your face, hardcore, and featured a certain mystic and personality. It wasn’t you mom and dad motocross video. Years later, Stagnation brings back memories of those early films. Blended with the perfect mix of footage—both old and new—Walters brings to life the grit and determination it takes to make it in this sport and the lifestyle that accompanies it. From the hills to the slopes to the park to the club, the film features more than just test track sessions—it brings to life the personality of these stars. More than just motocross, though, it let’s you see the other side of action sport fence—with big names in snow and BMX featured.
Featuring stars of today (Dean Wilson, Darryn Durham, Twitch, Tyler Bereman and Justin Barcia) and an appearance from Jeremy McGrath—the film offers plenty of star power. Get your copy today on iTunes for $2.99.
