When
Eric, Jay and I, “The Raiders
Guys,” were in Idaho for Spudfest
screening our Raiders Adaptation,
we met a very cool guy named Willie
McMillon.
Willie
owns and runs a company called Bluebird
Wax - a snowboarding company
that is a favorite among the world’s
top snowboarders. They are all friends
of Willie’s and often go to
Idaho and Wyoming to visit, hang
out and get in some kick ass snowboarding.
Willie
made a snowboarding documentary
/ movie called Water to
Wine - it’s a snowboarding
DVD that has a light narrative.
In it, one of the kids who is the
top snowboarder in the world gets
put in jail. On the day of his release,
he is picked up in the snowboarders
party van where he is met by all
of the other top snowboarders. To
celebrate, they all go up the mountain
in the van to snowboard and party.
All of the snowboarders are the
real guys and the story is true.
Well…guess
who is driving the van, hanging
out with the snowboarders and knows
all of the cool “snowboarder”
handshakes?
Harrison
Ford. Yep - the man himself.
How
did this happen? Well - Harrison’s
son, Malcolm, loves to snowboard.
Harrison’s ranch is in Wyoming.
Willie’s company is in Wyoming.
Willie asked Malcolm if his dad
Harrison would be in the movie and
he said YES - but only under the
name of JETHRO.
Here
is the DVD, there are some cool
behind the scenes shots of Harrison
when they are shooting. It is a
piece of Harrison memorabilia that
all Indy fans should totally have.
Willie is an awesome guy and he
asked me if I could plug it and
let all the fans know. So that’s
what I’m doing.
