Jon Olsson's epic two-part documentary video about his life is now online and available for download (all 600mbs of it). The videos were shot, edited, and directed by the ubiquitous "Crill," who followed Jon around the globe for the bulk of two years... and while I am quite appreciative of all the things Jon has done for the sport of skiing, there is something so intrinsically self-serving and narcissistic about making a movie about yourself that it makes it hard to watch this thing.  I mean, the starting point for a project like this is: "I am important/interesting enough that my life deserves a film," right?  (The title is "The Life I Live") The title is accurate.  The whole thing essentially serves as a vehicle to showcase Jon's wealth, travel, beautiful girlfriend, how hard he works, and awesome lifestyle which, when combined, make it a movie about ego. Which is fine for what it is, I guess, but this shouldn't be confused for anything important.  DOWNLOAD IT HERE.
