Living Legend: Dennis Bannock

I few years ago I was lucky enough to work on a series of short films documenting some of the greatest contributors to the sport of snowboarding. Dennis Bannock has been a staple on the Canadian shred scene for two decades – and with good reason!

Filmmaker Lenny Rubenovitch was the mastermind behind the project and had this to say:

The idea behind Living Legends is a simple one, we want to honor and document the careers of professional skateboarders and snowboarders that have a significant impact on their sports but remain in the game.

When Dennis Bannock straps in to a snowboard you can expect aggressive and powerful riding all the while keeping his steez tight and smooth. At 6'4" he's a lanky son of a bitch, but doesn't let his appendages get away from him, he is just always in control. When he un-straps, he's loud, he's outspoken and he has no reservations about telling you what's on his mind, but at the same time, he wears his heart on his sleeve and will give you the shirt off his back if necessary, even if it's -20C.

Bonus video! – Bannock and his crew skate the Whistler Park over a decade ago!
