UNPLUGGED: "Kill Your Boredom"

THE TEMPERATURE IS DROPPING and winter is in the air. But, it's this time of year that we are the most bored. Ski and snowboard season hasn't started yet. It's dark. And cold. And...we're lazy.

PLACE: Lamplighter Public House LOCATION: Vancouver, BC.  Have suggestions for UNPLUGGED this fall? Tweet me @amberturnau.

THE TEMPERATURE IS DROPPING and winter is in the air. But, it's this time of year that we are the most bored. Ski and snowboard season hasn't started yet. It's dark. And cold. And...we're lazy. Better to hibernate and wallow in our boredom, right? Wrong! Next Thursday, get your shred on mentally with the Vancouver premiere of the ski and snowboard flick "Kill Your Boredom" by local film crew, Voleurz.

The Voleurz film crew is anything but boring. Take the photo above, for example. Voleurz athlete Mack Jones (@MackerJones on Twitter) and Voleurz founder Darren Rayner (@Darren_Rayner) met Jersey Shore's "The Situation" not too long ago. It created its own situation, judging by the photo.

Voleurz is a well-known in the ski and snowboard industry for infusing humour into their ski and snowboard films, which are largely shot in and around Whistler and feature well-known athletes.  Their latest film "Kill Your Boredom" has been premiering across the country and is due to hit Vancouver's Lamplighter on Thursday, November 15. Here's the teaser:

So, in addition to their usual high adrenaline antics, what can we expect from the film? The roster is stacked with athletes, including freeskiers Joe Schuster and KC Deane, and riders Jesmond Dubeau, Geoff Brown and Braden Dean. Among the heavy artillery of tricks, we'll see some unique road gaps, a double cork in the backcountry and an infamous 5-kink elbow rail in Calgary.

Tickets are $10 and available online  or in person Pacific Boarder $10 (1793 West 4th Avenue). Follow @Voleurz on Twitter and Like them on Facebook.
