Bonfire Outerwear released the full movie and first installation of its anticipated Free Range video series.
The video is currently hosted and viewable at vimeo/bonfireouterwear. The series’ first installment features five snowboarders, eight days and one RV that starts in Portland, OR and heads North to Mt. Baker, crossing the border to British Columbia and the Coast Mountain Range backcountry, then up to Whistler/Blackcomb, finishing up at Mission Ridge’s Bomber Bowl Park.
The film stars members of Bonfire’s new team traveling together for the first time: Dustin Craven, Beau Bishop, Johnny Brady, Parker Duke and Ralph Kucharek. Part two, set to release in November, follows Kucharek, Justin Norman and Keaton Rodgers camping in primitive huts while riding from central Oregon to the Burn Zone.
Said Kucharek, who represents the East Coast for Bonfire out of Burlington, VT, “I had no expectations for last winter, and jumping in at the end of January right into the Free Range trips was the highlight of my season. I look forward to roaming the Free Range with the rest of the crew all over this winter and getting into some stuff.”
Free Range’s premiere coincides with the launch of the Bonfire winter 2016/17 outerwear line, which can be seen on riders in the film. “This season’s line was built with one goal in mind: to create an outerwear collection that could withstand the harshest conditions the Pacific Northwest has to offer,” the company explained in a press release.
The Free Range project will continue as Bonfire heads out on trips throughout North America, Europe and Japan. Bonfire Outerwear was started more than 25 years ago, entrenched in the snowboard culture of the Pacific Northwest.
