In the early 1990s, a group of misfit teenagers clashed with the vision skiers had for their mountains—they ended up revolutionizing snowboarding through the highly-controversial WHISKEY videos. Their story is one of excess, irreverence and rebellion—with a wake of triumphs and tragedies that put snowboarding on the map of the mainstream.
They revolutionized winter sports as a whole, with a cultural impact so massive that it ultimately helped spawn the creation of Jackass.
But that's not the real story here. In the present day, as these iconic teenagers are now nearing their 60s, they have the benefit of hindsight and years of introspection. What made them turn to a lifestyle that is so self-destructive? What formed this bond they all share that's lasted through 30+ years of friendship?
The truth of it is a revelation—what starts as a documentary about modern snowboarding's creation turns to a treatise on how childhood trauma shapes and follows us into adulthood.
