The Bone...Spot?




The Bone Zone full movie is live, you best get to watchin’ it before the end of the world happens. Although, I’m pretty sure we’ll all have a chance to watch it after tomorrow…call it a hunch. What I got from the Bone Zone movie, besides solid snowboarding, is a bunch of friends doing what they love and having ridiculous amounts of fun in the process. While I enjoyed the flick, I couldn’t help but think that, for better or worse, we never would have seen a “The Spot” full movie. I just don’t see JP, JJ and that crew taking their pre season warm ups and making a full production out of it. For them, The Spot just isn’t where they want their parts filmed. Now, isn’t that the great thing about individuality, innovation and progression? It took a new generation and a fresh look at what a “pre season spot” can be. Snowboarding is at its best when people are pushing and getting creative with it. I loved seeing photos and clips from The Spot crew in years past, and I love seeing the Bone Zone evolve into what it is today. So, many thanks to those who help break trail like Jeremy Jones and JP Walker, and many thanks to those who are keeping that trail fresh and interesting such as Ted Borland and all those who make the Bone Zone what it is.
