Behind The Yawgoons | Making snowboardings coolest crew

 

Much has been said about The Yawgoons emergence from the flat non-scene of Rhode Island to become on of the most creative snowboard crews around. Leading even The New York Times to call them snowboardings coolest scene. This behind the scenes video talks to ‘Goon member Marcus Rand as he talks about his own come up. Did you know that Canadian OG’s like Daryl Trinidad and Jesse Fox helped mold a young Marcus into the man that he is today.

 

“The only way to really understand the influence that Dylan Gamache, Brian Skorubski, Dr. B, Mary Rand, and Marcus Rand have as The Yawgoons is to visit Yawgoo Valley and see where it all started. So we flew from Bulgaria to Rhode Island, to see it for ourselves. This was filmed on a car ride from Marcus’ house to Yawgoo Valley Ski Area.  A week there hits you hard and reminds you why snowboarding is so cool, and why we all do it. The lack of huge mountains, park infrastructure, and tons of snow, made these guys overcome the laziness that we all have and the fear of being different that we all battle with.”
