I remember when a faded navy coloured, button down, long sleeve, casual dress, Ralph Lauren ‘Polo Shirt’ first arrived at our house. It was a gift from my brother’s girlfriend (now wife Raylene) – meant for him but shared by all of us. In a family of four boys, all born within four years, the […]

Boondockers Rider Spotlight: Ryan Nelson
Check out this highlight video from Ryan Nelson’s footage last season, edited by Nick Reedy. There is no doubt about it, Ryan knows how to ride deep powder.

Rick Barker, Ryan Nelson, Geoff “Phatty” Dyer, and myself met up with Dave Napier, Matt Entz, and Michael McCullough to ride one of Dave’s top secret locations.
