SHREDUCATION (26x30')
CANCON
travel/ sport/ youth series
Follow
a
group of young snowboarders and their renegade coach as they travel
the world, learn how to turn pro & deal with the pressures of being
regular teenage kids.
In
2008,
Canadian snowboarding legend Jesse Fulton opened his own
snowboarding school and recruited a group of up and coming riders with
an aim to taking the 2010 Winter Olympic games by storm.
Hailing
from
the U.S. and Canada, Jessie’s kids are 12-16 years-old, but the
young Shredders are already better than most of the national team.
Confident that they’re the next stars of the sport, Jesse teaches the
kids not only the skills to become a pro, but also how to deal with
fame and fortune.
In
Seasons
One & Two, they travel throughout North America, Europe,
Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. They compete in world events, do
photo shoots and feature film cameos, and hang out
with celebrities and the top riders in the sport. And for two young
Shredders, the dream of making it to the 2010 Winter Olympics becomes a
reality!
But
it's not all just fun and games for the Shredders. They have to deal
with overzealous parents who can push them too hard, a competitive
industry where you’re hot one minute and not the next, and the pressure
to try new, dangerous moves.
All
the while trying to deal with teenager stuff like pimples, girls,
school stress and growing up.
SHREDUCATION,
dude - it’s a learning curve!
