After years of hearing many action sports athletes cite the Dead as their soundtrack of choice, it’s exhilarating to see these worlds come to life together on screen in ‘Fire On The Mountain’. Grateful Dead and action sports have always been kindred spirits, both celebrating life and the beauty of experimental improvisation. Rhino President Mark Pinkus, who also oversees Grateful Dead Properties, added, ‘Fire On The Mountain’ takes this notion to incalculable heights and spectacular places. This project is one of the coolest things that I have ever been involved with, and it validates my criteria for why I do things-people, passion, and purpose. Walton also shared his thoughts on the film.
The film’s description via a press release reads, “Just as the Grateful Dead did not fit their music into an established category, this short film finds a cast of some of the world’s best athletes on an improvisational journey of skiing, snowboarding, surfing and music, complete with a soundtrack comprised of only Grateful Dead music.” Related: Bill Walton And Mickey Hart Gave Luke Walton Advice On Coaching LeBron James From A Dead & Co Show Fire On The Mountain‘s lineup of athletes includes snowboarders Jeremy Jones, Danny Davis, and Kimmy Fasani, surfing icon Rob Machado, and skiers Michelle Parker and Chris Benchetler.
