Living in Canada, you would think I am a fan of winter sports.And to be fair, I have skied down Rocky Mountains and ice skated around the Olympic oval, trying not to stare at speed skaters oddly shaped legs. But, I grew up just not really being into most winter sports, unless snow ball fights, building forts of ice and tobogganing count! So it was kind of surprising when I bought a snowboarding game on the N64, but boy did I ever like it.1080 Snowboarding was a great combination of racing and stunting. It also had for its time some of the most crisp and clear graphics of any racing title. The same developers who created the amazing Wave Race also developed 1080, and you could tell the quality similarities. Controls were great and the physics were well done for the time, it actually felt like you were racing down a mountain cutting into the snow. The competitive racing on mountains and the stunt mode with its half pipes and massive jumps made this game one of my favorite racing titles on the N64. Now, if I could actually tell what the hell they are trying to sing in that intro song…

Oh man did I ever play the ever-loving-crap out of this title! As with you and winter sports, I am not much of a fan of racing games. Regardless, this game offered a lot more than simple time trials. I think I enjoyed the trick combos element of the title more than anything. Especially so much that this was the gateway "drug" that got me hooked on the Tony Hawk series shortly thereafter.
This was really the only winter sports video game that I really liked. The GameCube " sequel", much like many games in the GameCube library , offered few improvements aside from better graphics. Hell , Wave Race Blue Storm was nearly identical to Wave race 64 & 1080 Avalanche had…well … a random avalanche to avoid upon occasion.
The question is audio master G, can you understand those intro lyrics?? I still cant after all these years.
I'm pretty sure that since the game was released in Japan before it came to North American, that the words are Japanese. I don't speak that language, so no. If that is supposed to be English, then I am confident that he says, "Argle bargle." Ha ha!!
Oh man, you were GOOD at this game? I tried, oh how I tried…but I suuuuuuuucked at this game. Great at Tony Hawk, great at Skate or Die, suck at this. It was fun for what I remember, though.
I was never that great at the stunt modes of the game myself, I was decent at some of it and really crap at the big jump. That's probably why I personally played the racing mode most of the time. But , it was all pretty fun even if I was not so hot at the stunts.
