“Giddy Giddy/Girigiri” is Sideshow’s eighth film, featuring two skiers as the main subjects. The film captures skiers Daisuke Ito and Takuya Ishida sessioning in various settings—from the mountains to the streets—as they express the style they aim to embody.
During the 2026 season, the two ventured into new terrain to capture more footage than ever before, continuing their challenging shoots. As a result, it was a season where everything—snow conditions, snowfall, weather, travel, and successful takes—was pushed to the absolute limit, making it a real tightrope walk.
This film is packed with their unique style and the sheer joy of skiing.
