ABOUT X-DANCE:
Every January, action sport filmmakers, top athletes, cutting-edge bands, DJs and key figures from the entertainment industry gather in Utah, to celebrate action sports culture at the X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival. This year, the action promises to be better than ever.
Launched in 2001, X-Dance has successfully harnessed the creative energy of adrenaline culture under one roof. X-Dance seeks to nurture the growth of action sports filmmaking, and to celebrate achievement on both sides of the camera – filmmakers and athletes alike. Emphasizing the importance of story, X-Dance recognizes innovative work that pushes the limits of style and narrative. With roots in both the core industry as well as the mainstream, X-Dance is a mecca for the enormous audience that dwells at the intersection of music, film, and action sports.
Running side-by-side with the Sundance Film Festival, the 8th Annual X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival was held in Salt Lake City January 19-23, 2008. The festival consists of screenings of top action sports films with filmmaker Q&As, and a closing night awards ceremony.

So many people still don't understand Riverboarding. We do not use a boat to travel upstream at 30+ mph. Riverboarding is powered by a bungee system that slingshots you upstream. You use the river current to stretch the bungee. Once the bungee is done pulling, it releases from the board allowing you to do many boardsport tricks. Once your ride is done, float back downstream to the end of the bungee, hook the board to the bungee, stretch it and ride again. Surf all day long! I am still getting Emails asking how to hook the board to the boat. www. BANSHEERIVERBOARDS. COM
