To celebrate Westbeach’s 30th anniversary they have created “The Heritage Project”
Westbeach has hired Dano Pendygrasse to put together a photo-book and myself to produce a handful of webisodes. Below you can check out #1 which is a Teaser and sample of what is to come. The shorts to follow will cover the Westbeach Classic, Summer Camps, Fashion and another one on wherever the production takes my crew and I.
To accompany the Book and the Webisodes, Westbeach has put a Heritage blog online which will be continually releasing content over the Heritage project.
It has been an experience digging into the archives of snowboarding’s past, we have done a few interviews with some of Canada’s snowboard forefathers and Im looking forward to doing a handful more.
This Project has been a huge collaborative effort and I want to thank everyone who has helped to make it possible.
The teaser features a fair share of footage from some of Murray Siple’s snowboard films. If you are unfamiliar with Murray, he was one of the original Canadian Snowboard filmmakers at a time where there weren’t that many. Tragically he got into a car accident that paralyzed him from the waist down and he has not been able to make snowboard films since 96. But recently in 2008 he finished “Carts of Darkness“. Murray’s feature-length documentary follows a group of homeless men who have combined bottle picking with the extreme sport of racing shopping carts down the steep hills of North Vancouver.
It’s a sweet film and guess what, its free, online on the NFB website and is good quality. If you havent seen it, grab a beer enable fullscreen and sit back and enjoy. Its 59 mins long.
