Reckless Abandon - Ozzy Henning Full Part

"It was almost five years ago that Ozzy Henning’s proper 270 off a Park City jump (along with all the rest of his equally fiery park footage in said edit) turned the collective heads the internet-savvy snowboarding population. For many outside of the Wasatch, it was the first time they had heard of this Utah-raised snowboarder and since then, Ozzy’s name has become synonymous with a powerful and overtly natural kind of riding made up of equal parts skill and style. It was his breed of boarding on any terrain that prompted Bode Merrill to invite Ozzy to join the tightly knit crew for Reckless Abandon. Bode’s movie, a collaboration with director Jon Ray is a film that highlights the individual talents of five riders via the confluence of their snowboarding. This is to say that the strength of Reckless‘ group is due to the abilities of the individuals and by this measure, Ozzy was an easy addition to make. From spot to spot, Ozzy’s prowess was paramount and now, you can watch his clips in their entirety in his full part." - Snowboarder Magazine

Reckless Abandon Bode Merrill FULL PART

"Last season, when Bode Merrill and cinematographer Jon Ray set out to collaborate on a movie, it was everyone’s best guess that the resulting film would be nothing short of really, really good. Well, after traversing the better part of the winter-plagued world during the 2015-16 season, the duo exceeded the already high expectations with a movie that seamlessly blended Bode’s larger-than-life riding abilities and earnest sense of humor with the talents of four ardent up and comers. The location-based narrative of Reckless Abandon was capped off with an ending segment featuring Bode himself and, honestly, if that was the video above, that would be well-worthy of your repeated viewing. But, true to form for the video that Jon and Bode created, the above full part is an extended cut, re-edited with even more of Bode’s mental footage. With that, we’ll stop typing so you can start watching." - Snowboarder Magazine
