Contrast (Official Trailer)—Starring Bode Merrill, Desiree Melancon, Erik Leon

The collaborative vision of Contrast is to pair progressive riding with a point of view and aesthetic that will not only provoke the stoke, but also take the viewer on a more cerebral visual journey. By juxtaposing the ubiquitous experience of daytime riding with the darker hues and shadows inherent with after-hours exploits, Contrast creates an ethereal viewing experience.

Starring Bode Merrill, Desiree Melancon, Erik Leon, Justin Keniston and more.

Check out the world premiere at the Rendezvous Mountain Culture Festival in Salt Lake City on 9/28 at The Gateway!

SALOMON TV - FOCUS

After joining the Global Pro Team in 2017, Toni Kerkela hits the ground running with a full-length project, “Focus”, focusing on street riding around the world with a heavy supporting cast of Salomon Team riders.

Bode Merrill, Louif Paradis, Artem Smolin, and Flo Corzelius join Toni during the filming of Focus, “We managed to make a short movie of the season including bunch of other team riders and friends, I’m a big fan of all of them and everyone of them loves filming street which made it natural for them to join the project.” – Toni Kerkela

“Focus” follows Toni and a different rider to a new location throughout the film visiting new street spots in Finland and Quebec City to the pasta tables of Italy. “Our plan in the beginning of the season was to film a full part of me to be as a welcome to the team video. After 2 trips we realized that we could be able to make something little bit different and keep filming to produce a short film.” - Toni Kerkela

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
