THE MANBOYS - SNOWDANCE FULL MOVIE

The Manboys present “Snowdance”, a backcountry snowboarding film. Because even if you’ve never set foot in the backcountry, you can still be grateful that it’s there.

Seven years and one pandemic since their fruition, the manboys roster still remains largely in-tact with Chris Rasman, Rusty Ockenden, Matt Belzile, Jody Wachniak, Beau Bishop & Eric Jackson.

Snowdance was filmed by Ben Webb, Connor Winton, Dave Craig, and Ryan Kenny.

The Manboys' Snowdance—Teaser

Presenting Snowdance, the latest and greatest from the Manboys! Full movie drops right here November 2.

Featuring Matt Belzile, Rusty Ockenden, Beau Bishop, Chris Rasman, Jody Wachniak, and Eric Jackson.

HIGH OCTANE: A Short Film Starring Austen Sweetin

Austen Sweetin, Sean Lucey, and Quiksilver present HIGH OCTANE: A Snowboard Short. It’s an 8 1/2 minute climactic portrayal of snowboard savagery featuring Austen alongside fellow boarders Robin Van Gyn, Travis Rice, Rusty Ockenden, Chris Rasman, Phil Hansen and Brandon Reis.

As Austen puts it,

“Two weeks of Japan’s deepest and lightest snow filled our days with endless mountain waves and then we set out to film two days of pillow-bashing, leg-burning pow smashing boarding with Travis Rice at Stellar Heli in BC. There were a few days in Whistler and Alpental scattered in between and now we proudly present to you HIGH OCTANE. Press play, get stoked, grab your board and go psycho!”

Don’t blink or you’ll miss something worth seeing.

The Manboys 2017 - Episode 5, "Doctor Spaceman"

For Doctor Spaceman, the fifth and final episode from The Manboys for the season, we thought we would share a personal message from the boys themselves. Read, watch, and repeat!

“The final episode! It’s sad to see this time come but alas this is life. We saved the best for last in this Manboys episode. Fun lines, big jumps and an unexpected trip to snowboard on the moon. Thanks for taking the time to come watch these weekly videos and we hope you liked them as much as we liked making them.
Love,
Matt Belzile, Rusty Ockenden, Chris Rasman, Jody Wachniak, Eric Jackson“

Filmed by Ben The Boss Webb and edited by Rusty Ockenden. Keep up with The Manboys on Youtube here!

Man Boys Whistler | The Book of John J S2E4

John and brother Eric take advantage of the fresh Canadian snow in Whistler, British Columbia, when they meet up with The Manboys: Rusty Ockenden, Matt Belzile, Jody Wachniak and Chris Rasman.

The Manboys 2017 - Episode 4, "King Edward"

From the worst hotel they have ever stayed in to an all-time session on "The Manboy Gap" in their backyard, we'd say Episode 4 is a pretty big success... except for the cab three straight to the hospital. From Alaska to Whistler, The Manboys once again show us what it is like to treat your body like a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot s for the betterment of snowboarding, and we are forever thankful. Featuring Eric Jackson, Matt Belzile, Rusty Ockenden, Chris Rasman, and Jody Wachniak, enjoy another episode with The Manboys and lookout for the last one dropping next week!

The Manboys 2017 - Episode 2, "When in Rome"

Between games of Settlers of Catan and getting snowmobiles stuck in the snow, The Manboy's dropped some epic early season pillow laps in Whistler with the mantra, "When in Rome." Near misses and huge stomps make for quite the episode. Watch until the end as the guys look to be in midseason form as they take a quick trip to hit the famous Mt. Baker Road Gap. Enjoy!

Featuring: Eric Jackson, Matt Belzile, Rusty Ockenden, Chris Rasman, and Jody Wachniak.

The Manboys 2017 - Episode 1, "We Did It Without Gas"

Blue sky days and burned out forests set the scene for the first official episode of Something with The Manboys. Although the title is "We Did It Without Gas," maybe it should read "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It" entering into their fourth season because they are back right where they left off. Rising to fame in the Whistler Backcountry and still having an endless amount to work with, the formula stays the same as The Manboys get a chance to board on some classic Whistler jumps and a step-down that made our collective jaw drop. Guest appearance by John Jackson.

Featuring: Eric Jackson, Matt Belzile, Rusty Ockenden, Chris Rasman, Jody Wachniak and John Jackson
