Free Movie: “The People’s Park” from Bear Mountain
04 months ago
Bear Mountain released their new movie “The People’s Park” after the Hot Dawgz & Hand Rails event at Bear yesterday. The full video, with 24:41 minutes of Bear Mountain shredding featuring a ton of riders, is now available to watch online, and is in fact, embed right here!

Thanks to Bear Mountain, Snowboarder Mag, and Red Bull for the video! (more…)
