Nothing is harder than our good friends leaving us, but the best way to remember them is by making a movie with all their old footage—an immortalized invitation to laugh at the good times whenever the time is right. That’s exactly what Ryan Arington has done with Saddle Sores, a tribute to Ben Lynch, Jon Hill and Colorado snowboarding. It’s a lighthearted reminder that snowboarding with your friends is about as good as it gets, and Ryan captures the full spectrum of just that. New footage, old footage, good voiceovers, debauchery, and, of course, snowboarding. 

"The purpose of this film is to shed light on the growing pains of mountain life. We hope to shift perspectives and inspire more to bring back the culture. Till then all we can do is keep our pecker’s up.”

In memory of Ben Lynch and Jon Hill.
