"To Infinity and Beyond..." - Summer x 2011 NEW EDIT!!

Sometimes in looking back is to look forward. In gearing up for this upcoming summer, I thought it would be cool to look back at what was the epic summer of last. This video features footage that was almost forgotten but needed to be shared. Good times, cottage times, riding times, travel times, party times -- the best of times. 

movember success.

Thank you to everyone who supported theBOOMBOXdream.com and Skoser's Movember campaign which had us selling t-shirts with my moustached face on it. It was somewhat of a risky venture in the beginning, but I'm so stoked to see that we were successful in raising $150 with a total of 19 t-shirts being sold over the course of November!! 

I'd like to thank Paul Mascaro and Skoser Clothing for believing in the campaign from day one, much respect for this cat! SHIRTS FOR A CURE

Make sure to check their winter line at www.skoserclothing.bigcartel.com and support your local artists this Christmas!!

team BOOMBOX visits NOFX in MONTEBELLO

I can't remember Kevin's exact words, but it was something like "NOFX in Montebello, let's make it happen." Now whether that was back in March or April is beyond me, but whatever we'd be doing, wherever we would be, and whoever we would be with; all we knew is that we would be in Montebello on June 18, 2011 one way or another like a bat out of hell...

(dtox rockfest)

Understand that the plan on how to get to Montebello did change several times, and who exactly would be coming with also varied at times. Nevertheless with a bike marathon now out of the question, Andy Morrish generously volunteered his truck that would take us there. So with Andy, Kev, and myself committed, there remained only three more spots. So after searching for potential teammates far and wide, high and low, it would be Danielle, Bolduc, and Monica joining us for an unforgettable wholesome good time.

Our day started off as per usual, slow and scattered. Yet, after a delicious breakfast courtesy of Mr. Courioustimes and figuring out a few logistical issues, we gathered ourselves and would be on our way shortly. Not so fast, well at least for me. Worst case scenario came true minutes before exiting the door as I would get a call from work telling me  that I was needed for the day. "FACK!" 

So while I was hard at work like a chump, team got to check out most namely the Flatliners, Bouncing Souls, and Cancer Bats. And so goes the story it was a beautiful sunny day, they went swimming, yada yada yada.... And well shit it was finally time to close up shop with my man Drew who was kind enough to offer me a ride to the airport so I could pick up my rental car. From there everything ran smooth as, and before you know it I'm pulling up to Montebello and spot my crew holding it down on the main drag with a full on tail gate party happening, most proper I'd say.

I'm greeted with nothing but smiles, hand taps, and a beer. Shotguns, skateboarding, footy, laughs, and hype ensues as the anticipation builds, and the reality of seeing NOFX live finally begins to settle in....

The moment was finally here for Fat Mike, El Hefe, Smelly, and Eric Melvin to take to the stage. They said hello, bonjour, and then BOOM!!! DINOSAURS WILL DIE. SEEING DOUBLE AT THE TRIPLE ROCK. EAT THE MEEK. PERFECT GOVERNMENT. MURDER THE GOVERNMENT. HEROJUANA. KILL ALL THE WHITE MAN. CHAMP ÉLYSÉ. LEAVE IT ALONE. LINOLEUM. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND SKATE. I WANNA BE AN ALCOHOLIC. FRANCO UN-AMERICAN.  MATTERSVILLE. DOORNAILS. WE CALLED IT AMERICA. BLASPHEMY. REEKO.

Amazing show, not even gonna waste my time trying to put it in words cause it's just one of those things where you just had to be there. sorry bout ya ay!!

It was now time to set up camp somewhere. We had a camping option with our friend Sean who claimed he had a spot in the tall grass, but that proved to be pretty vague and most difficult to locate so we decided to drive up the highway and find a field. I'm not sure how we found this spot or how this spot had found us, but it was almost too good to be true. Tucked away from the highway behind, ironically enough, some tall grass, Andy parked the truck and we started setting up our tent only to realize that we were next to a field of horses. We made peace in the morning with carrots, courtesy of Courioustimes.

Backyard Sunday session with Benjamin Leclair and Johny Bonney from Johny Bonney on Vimeo.
Put together a little edit with some of the footage we got on Sunday. Another super fun day at Pop Wake School shredding Julien Derome's Backyard System in St. Zotique, Qué. The video features my friend little Benji who is killing it right now for Slingshot wakeboards...And don't forget the WHAT UP video release party on June 17th at Babylon nightclub in Ottawa!!

Andy's first day!

Headed back up to WOW today for a sunday session with my snowboarder friend Andy Morrish. Andy had never hit rails on a wakeboard, nor as he ever ridden a cable system. The kid did alright, hit a few bangers, and now he's hooked for life! Stay tuned to theboomboxdrea.com for a special edit coming from this day...till then, Happy Sunday!

Kendamamini - new edit!

Kandamamini from Johny Bonney on Vimeo.


Having fun with some footage I got back in February on a cold winter's day. As luck would have it, Ryan Rouleau knew a guy (John) with a mini ramp in a heated garage. Trust me, the 25 min ride to Kemptville, ON is well worth it. OH and in case you're wondering what that fancy ball and a cup shit is at the beginning? well it's a kendama, and pretty much the coolest thing to come out of Japan since sushi.
