Welcome back
to the Alpine Report.

Our next guest
has a fascinating story.

His name is Shaun Kendrick.

Shaun, let me see
if I have this right.

You got this dog
from the pound

and you didn't know
he could snowboard.

Well, yeah.

Boy, I'd hate to be
the knucklehead
to let that dog get away.

Well, I was
almost dumb enough
to let him go too.

Well, what happened?
What happened, Shaun?

Did he chew
one too many slippers?

Was he--
Was he hogging the sheets?

It's a long story.

People don't know it,
but I got a history, you know.

I don't like to brag,

but before I was ever known
as Bodi the Snowboarding Dog,

I was the king
of the backstreets.

Oh, my God,
I'm so hungry.

I hope
the kitchen man comes soon.

Oh, here he comes.
Shh, shh.

- Oh, boy, it's time to eat.
- Oh, goody, goody. Let's roll.

Be careful, Flip Flop.

Come on,
doggy, doggy, doggy.

Oh, goodness, yes.

Oh, Flip Flop,
it's steak! It's steak!

Oh, I love steak.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.

Oh, it's so good.
Oh, I love steak.

Boys,
something's wrong.

Honeycomb,
you know what's wrong?

Someone threw out
this perfectly good steak

and you're not enjoying it.

I'm telling you,
something is wrong today,
I hear it.

Something is out there.

Yeah, well, you know
what's in here?

Filet mignon and skirt steak
and it's delicious.

Mm.

Guys, I'm telling you
something is wrong.

I'm gonna go.
Flip Flop,
are you coming?

And leave
the steak? No way.

Oh, good call,
Flip Flop.

- Oh, I think
there's some tuna in here.
- Oh, tuna-squish.

Let me at it. Let me at it.
Tuna-squish. I love it.

Hey, Flip Flop,
it's called tuna fish,
not "squish".

Are you sure?

Oh, it might be halibut.

Oh, I love it too.
Come on, let me in,
let me in.

Uh-oh! Run!

- Run, Flip Flop!
- I am running.

Hey!

Hey!

Oh, boy, he's gonna
get caught, isn't he?

I sure think so.
He's got bad hips,
you know.

I don't know
if I can keep this up.

Oh, boy.

Well, yeah, I got caught.
What can I tell ya?

I got short legs,
ya know,

and a very small nose.

So while I'm doing time
in Montana's Dog Penitentiary,

Shaun was all the way down
in L.A., California.

You gotta be kidding me.
We're moving to Montana?

Yeah,
it's where I'm needed.

It pays a lot more
than operating
a saw around here.

Look, I just--

I need to start thinking
about how to make enough
to send you to college.

Dad, I can't go
to college, okay?

I'm expecting
a sponsorship
any day now.

Oh, yeah, what?
A sponsorship in surfing?

Yes, Dad, okay? I've been
killing it out there

and any day,
someone's gonna notice me.

- Put your phone down.
- What?

What have I told you?
Life happens when...

When you put your phone down,
yes, Dad, okay.

You are so uncool.

Like, come on, dude.

It's Dad, not dude!

And you need to get
your priorities
straight, okay?

You gotta start thinking
about your future

because you cannot get
a college degree
in surfing.

This is so unfair.

Shaun, I'm sorry.

Right? I wish
there was another way.

I do.

Shaun was one
of the best surfers
in California.

The way Shaun likes to tell it,
he had everything.

Friends...

- Here comes, The Monster!
- Yo!

- Come on!
- That was sick.

Hey, you killed that,
dog, killed it.

Monster, boy.

A beautiful girlfriend.

You were really great
out there today, Shaun.

Thank you.

Shaun thought his time
as a surfer would never end,

but, hey,

life had other plans.

Come on, buddy,
it's not that bad.

So I've been doing
a bunch of reading
on Montana,

some of the stuff
to do up there,
things you might like.

Did you know they have

a pretty decent
snowboarding scene up there?

- Snowboarding?
- Yeah, you should try it.

You might like it.
Probably be
really good at it.

Learn some tricks.
Make some new friends.

Dad, I don't wanna be
a beginner again, okay?

It took me years
to get good at surfing.

That is not
the attitude of a winner.

Hey, it's gonna be
harder than it seems.

Okay, I'm leaving
everything behind.

- Really? Everything.
- Yeah.

You know, I was just
getting popular at school.

Me and Tiffany
made it official

and, you know,
she's great.

Look, Tiffany...
Tiffany is great, right?

So you're young.

Trust me, it's not
the end of the world.

Yeah, okay,
whatever.

Hey, did you make sure
you pulled the coat out
for when we arrive?

No. How cold
could it be?

It's cold.
Oh, it's cold.

I told you
to wear your coat.

Why did we move here?

- Come on.
- Okay.

All right let's open
the door, Dad.
Really freakin' cold.

Whoo!

All right, Dad,
hurry up. Thank you.

Yeah, sounds cold,

but when was it that Bodi,
the Snowboarding Dog,

came into the picture?

Now we're getting
to the good part.

Your dad got Bodi
from the Stafford
Animal Shelter

once you were in Montana,
is that correct?

Yeah, you know, he thought
it would make me feel better
to have a new friend,

- even if that friend
had canines and fur.

So, we're new to town,
my son and I,

and I thought, you know,
maybe a dog
might cheer him up.

He's kind of homesick.

What sort of dog
is your son interested in?

We've got an assortment.

Collies, hounds,
Retrievers.

What about this one?

- Mm... Bodi.
- Hey, bud.

He's not
what respectable people
call a good dog.

- Hey, hey, bud.
Can we take him out?

Sure, I guess.

Hey, come here.
Hey, buddy.

Oh...

My wife,
God rest her soul,

she had a bulldog
when we were younger.

I remember they made
great companions.

This one's trouble.

I've seen him here a few times,
a few too many times.

He likes to run away
and cause problems.

- Hey, buddy.
- He's a problem dog.

Yeah?

I'd encourage you to look
at this lovely little guy
right here.

Yeah, I think maybe this time
things will be different.

Maybe he ran away
from those other places
'cause he hadn't met us yet.

Good luck with that.

Yeah.

Dad, I thought I told you
I don't want
this wheezy dog, okay?

He sounds
like he's snoring.

Come on.

Look, I thought
it'd be a nice gesture.

You know, I mean, you gave me
the world's biggest guilt trip

for moving us up here.
You know?

That'd be something nice
for you.

You got a little buddy,

help you settle
into our new place, huh?

Look at this guy.

Fine, okay.

Just leave him there,
please.

Here, he loves the ball.

You guys have fun.

He thinks getting me a dog
will make everything okay.

I miss you guys.

I don't know why,
but in that moment,
something sort of clicked.

I wanted to be there for him,
a kid I didn't even know.

Maybe it was the fact
that his dad had saved me
from that awful animal jail.

Maybe it was the fact
that I knew what it felt like
to be tossed around

to different homes with people
I didn't get to choose.

But maybe, just maybe
it was because I was
in a good mood,

but something about that kid,
I can't put my finger on it.

I wanted to help him.

I could actually picture myself
staying here for a while.

No dogs on the sofa.

Okay, looks like this
is gonna be

a little harder
than I thought.

High jump.

Hey, bud, hey.

Just 'cause you
don't wanna leave the house

doesn't mean he wouldn't like
to see the neighborhood.

He ain't wrong.
I'm going crazy
cooped up in here.

Fine, I'll take him out.

You promise?

I better not come back from work
and see you sitting
in the same spot.

Promise.

Okay.

What's it gonna be, kid?

Adventure time
or moping around?

And just like that,
I was his dog
and he was my human.

If Shaun was gonna be
the human I chose
to be stuck with,

I wasn't gonna let him
sit inside,

feeling sorry for himself
all winter long.

I knew that if he just gave
this snowboarding thing a shot,

he'd love it.

- Hello.
- Hello.

I'm trying
to show you my new snowskate.

Stuff I can do on it
is pretty sick.

I literally don't care.

You really have
the worst job.

Nothing ever happens.

What time do you get off?

I love
that nothing happens.

I'd way rather chill here
than have to get up
and what?

Save some hurt skier
that doesn't know
what they're doing?

Whatever.

Wow, the mountain does look
pretty cool from here.

Still not as good
as the beach, though.

And we're gonna change
his mind in three, two, one.

Wow.

Wow.

She's good.

- Oh, no.
- You.

Not this guy.

The dog catcher skis?

Are you kidding me?

How unlucky
could one puppy be?

I thought they locked you up
for good this time.

Hey, man, watch it.
What's your beef
with my dog?

Yeah, did you hear
what he said?

I'm his dog now.

This mutt
belong to you?

Yeah, he does.
What's it to you?

My apologies,
I must have had him mixed up
with another animal.

Enjoy your day.

Yeah, why don't you
get outta here,
Mr. Dog Police?

Go eat a donut
or something.

The bad news
is the guy remembers me.

The good news is
Shaun called me his dog.

I think we're making
some progress.

Hey. You were
pretty good up there.

Sorry, do I know you?

No, uh, I'm Shaun.

I just moved here
from California.

Shaun, what are you doing?

Never mention California.
Montanans hate them.

A California boy, huh?

You know, don't get too cold
out here in this white stuff.

Have you ever heard of it?
It's called snow.

Yeah, I've heard
of it before.

You know,
we actually get some.

Uh, we have a mountain
called Big Bear,

then there's Mammoth, Tahoe.

Do you ever board?

No, I'm actually
more of a surfer.

I'm pretty good,
you know. I compete.

And there's talk about me
getting a sponsor
next season.

Hmm. So what are you
doing out here?

Oh, no,
this isn't going well.

- It's a long story.
- My boy needs some help.

But maybe sometime
I could show you
my surfing vids.

I have a YouTube channel
that's actually pretty good.

Um, maybe you've seen them?

I doubt it. I'm not really
into watching people
have fun,

- you know,
I'm more out doing it.
- Later, guys.

Riding, you know,
doing it myself.

Maybe me and you
could ride together
sometime.

Sorry, I don't take
on newbies.

I'll probably pick it up
pretty quick,

if riding the snow
is anything
like riding a wave.

I tell you what,
why don't you give it
a couple weeks?

Once you can ride
without falling,
come find me.

Ouch, that's harsh.

So is the mountain
if you don't know
what you're doing.

Shaun's totally striking out.
I gotta help the kid.

If you left
and came back,

do you really think
anyone would notice?

Oh, you wanna get me fired?

- Here we go.
This is gonna be rad.
- That it?

"You're trying
to get me fired."

So do you live
around here?

Yeah, I just live
up the block.

Oh, so we're basically
neighbors.

Yeah, wait--

Do you own
that jacked up red truck?

You mean
the Cowboy Cadillac?

Yeah, it's my Dad's.

Then, yeah, welcome
to the neighborhood,
neighbor.

So do you think
you wanna show me
that Montana hospitality

and teach me a thing or two
on the mountain?

Look, full disclosure,

I'm training
for a competition
in a couple weeks.

It's kind of a big deal
around here,

so I don't have
a lot of free time.

That's fine.

I'll take all the time
I can get.

Fine.

I'm Kayla.

Welcome to the mountains,
California.

Shaun.

Uh, again, because you
already knew that.

Hey, Shaun,

didn't you have a dog
a minute ago?

Bodi!

Trevor, have you seen
my board?

Definitely not.

It was right here.

You would for sure
lose your head

if it wasn't attached
to your body.

Where was the last place
you saw it?

I don't know.
It was right here.

What is that?

Yeah, I'm doing it,
here we go.

Just like old times
back in Buffalo.

I'm the best, guys.

Bodi, where are you, bud?

Bodi! Come back,
little guy.

Great, I've had this dog
less than a week
and he's already gone.

I was just starting
to get used
to all the snoring.

- Um, California...
- Yeah.

Is that your dog?

I'm going straight!

Your dog can snowboard?

Bodi!

Bodi, don't scare me
like that.

I thought
I lost you, boy.

Excuse me, hi.

Can I get my board back?

Oh, sorry,
is this yours?

I don't know
how he got on it.

I didn't even know
he could do that.

Well, it was the coolest thing
I've seen in a while, so...

Yeah, man,
that was so dope.

I've never seen a dog do that
in person before.

Well, you know,
I basically taught him
everything he knows, so...

But I thought you never
snowboarded before.

Um, well, you know,
I haven't,

but it's obviously
all about balance,
which I have, so...

I thought you only
had him for a week.

He's a fast learner.

- Then how did you--?
- What were
your guys' names again?

- I'm--
- I'm Madison,
this is Trevor.

And who is this?

This is my dog, Bodi.

- Oh, are you both new?
- Yeah, we just moved here.

Are you doing
the snowboarding competition
in a couple weeks?

That would be great.

They could make
a special category for him.

The whole town
will be talking about it.

I'm not so sure about Bodi,
but I definitely will be.

You are?

- But you haven't even--
- Of course I will, Kayla.

You know,
why wouldn't I?

Me and Bodi live
so close to here,

it'd be a shame
not to take advantage
of this beautiful mountain.

Agreed.

You guys riding too?

Of course we are, man.

Anyone who's anyone
is riding.

Okay, well,
it was really nice
meeting you guys

and I'm sure
I'll see you guys around
since, you know,

we all ride
and love the mountain.

For sure.

Hey, I gotta get back to post.
You coming with me?

Nah, I'm gonna post about
the new Powder Pup in town.

Hi.

Fine, later.

It was great
meeting you, Shaun,

and Bodi.

I'm sure
I'll see you guys around.

- Yeah.
- You're so cute.

- Bye.
- Nice meeting you.

Come on, Bodi,
let's go, boy.

So about the snowboard thing,
you said you'd teach me, right?

- Let me ask you one thing.
- What?

- Why do you wanna board?
- What do you mean?

Are you doing it
because you actually want to,

or because you're trying
to impress those two?

I'm...

Okay, come on, I mean,

this is the first thing
I'm excited about
since I've moved here.

Otherwise, I'm just gonna be
sitting in my bedroom

watching TikToks all day,
which I'm sure isn't healthy.

- I'll do it on one condition.
- What's that?

You gotta take me
surfing someday.

Surf?

Yeah, I mean, you said
you're such a big shot
on the waves

and I'm pretty good
on the slopes,

but I've never been
to an actual beach before.

Well, you're missing out.

The beach is like
the best place on earth.

Well, I don't really have
an opinion on it
'cause I've never been,

so you're gonna have
to change that
if you want me to teach you.

Okay. Deal.

Bows.

What?

Bows, like elbows.

Me and my friends
used to do it back home.

It's kinda like
a pinky promise,
but with elbows.

So, bows?

You don't have to do it
if you don't want to,

- just let me know.
- Bows.

Hey, what about me?

I got elbows, I think.

Cool.
So when do we start?

Meet me back here
tomorrow morning

and I'll get you set up
with some gear
and teach you the basics.

Perfect. Deal.

Okay, I'll see you
tomorrow.

Come on, Bodi.

- Hey, California.
- Yeah.

Don't be late, 8:00 a.m.

I'll be there.
Come on, Bodi, let's go!

So, these were the cool kids
on the mountain

and you wanted
their attention.

Exactly.

It-it was crazy, Dad.

So I was talking
to this girl
named Kayla, right?

And all of a sudden,
I look up

and I see Bodi
snowboarding all by himself

on this tiny little board
called a snowskate.

Can we get him one?

Yeah, of course.

Yes. It-it's gonna be
amazing.

And then I was talking
to this girl named Madison.

Who was, you know, pretty cute
and I think she's into me,

so I'm gonna ask her
out on a date.

And then Kayla
is gonna teach me
how to board

so I can enter
the competition.

That's amazing.

And then there's this guy
named Trevor.

It's TBD if we're gonna
be cool or not,

but, hey,
my dog can snowboard.

I can't tell you how good it is
to see you happy, seriously.

Enjoy yourself
for the next two weeks.

Snowboard,
do what you want,

but then it's back
to school. Okay?

Can't have you
falling behind.

You know, I think
I'm gonna go buy Bodi
a snowskate

and then we're gonna watch
some boarding videos
before tomorrow. Okay?

- All right.
- Come on, Bodi, let's go.

Ah, this is great.

I love a good morning ride
before a bowl of kibbles.

Is that a dog
on a snowboard? Dude...

Hey, pay attention.

Okay, so
when you're boarding...

you gotta put your weight
on your heels to slow down

so that the edge of your board
digs in.

Hey, Kayla knows
what she's doing.

You better be
listening, Shaun.

Then,

you put your weight
on your toes

to slow down
when you're going
the other way.

So you said you surf
with your left foot
forward, right?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.

So it'll probably
be the same
on a snowboard.

Don't really like
how my feet are strapped in.

Get used to it.

The straps are tight
so that you don't twist
an ankle on the mountain.

You have to think of the board
as an extension of your feet.

Oh, boy.

This might take a minute.

Okay...

Okay, so keep
a slight bend
in your knees

and don't lean back
so far.

How am I supposed to ride
when I can't even stand up?

Master flatland,
you must.

Okay, Yoda.

You know, you just might be
a snow Jedi after all.

And that's Blake.

He'll probably say
something rude,
so just ignore him.

Well, well, well,
what do we have here?

I didn't know
it was teach a newbie
to board day on the mountain.

Hey, I don't like
this guy's attitude.

And look at that,
he brought his pet pig.

Hey, who are you
calling a pig, human?

Don't you have literally
anywhere else to be?

I don't know
why you bother training, Kayla.

It's not like you stand
a chance this year.

It's just like last year,

year before that,
year before that.

I mean, I think
it's cute...

that you lose
and still you keep trying,

despite the embarrassment...

people feeling sorry
for you.

I admire that.

But at a certain point,
don't you just think
to yourself

enough is enough?

Hey, listen, man,
you can't talk to her
like that.

Or what?

Heh.

- Shaun, are you okay?
- It's okay, okay?

- I got it, I'm fine.
- Aw...

Okay, newbie.

Have fun
at snowboard camp.

I told you
to not let him
get to you.

I know, but I couldn't
just let him
talk to you like that.

I can stand up for myself.
I have to put up
with him every day.

Fine.

Next time,
I'll just chill out
while he insults you.

No, that's not
what I'm saying,

- I just don't think--
I just--
- No, no, it's fine.

Okay? I'm gonna go take five.
Come on, Bodi, let's go.

Shaun, it seems
like you were not off
to the greatest start.

Yeah, well, you know,
it's one thing
to lose to a competitor,

that's life.

But to lose to a jerk?

Man, this guy,
he was the worst.

Yeah, calling me a pig.

I mean,
I enjoy food, so what?

Everybody likes food.

So this Blake guy,
he was pretty good.

He was really good.

He won the year before
and he made sure
everyone knew it.

Hey, California.

How are you feeling?

Like I wish I had
a genie in a lamp

to make me a world-class
snowboarder

so I could see
the smug look
on Blake's face

when I beat him
in the competition.

Wow.

That was
oddly specific.

Well, you asked.

Hey, you know what fixes
a bad day on the mountain?

- What?
- Hot chocolate.

Come on,
let's go get some.

Hey, do I get some too?

Okay, so I was pitted
on the inside of the pocket

and another rider's
dropping in,

so I had to hop off
or we're gonna
hit each other.

And after that
I totally ragged all day.

I've no idea
what you just said.

Sorry, it's just
how surfers talk.

You'll learn some day.

I better,
or else.

Or else what?

You don't wanna know.

Psst! Psst!

Hey, what are
you guys doing down there?

We came to save you.
Come on.

Nah, nah,
I like it here.

It's nice,
Shaun's cool, come on.

What? You've become
domesticated?

Nah, nah,
it's not like that at all.

He gives me food,
couple warm blankets.

Come on, the dog catcher
could be anywhere.

I think he's coming
around the corner.

We gotta save you, Bodi.
You coming or not?

Nah, nah,
I'm gonna stay with Shaun.

I really like
the guy, come on.

Do you ever wonder
if they have conversations
of their own?

I don't know.
What would they talk about?

Bones, I guess.

Hey, I'm gonna go
use the baño
before we head out.

- Do you think you could
watch Bodi for me?
- Sure.

All right, cool.

Madison.

Oh, hey, Shaun.

What are you doing here?

Me and Kayla are hanging out.
She's teaching me how to board.

Oh, that's right.

This is the guy
I was telling you about

who has the dog
that can snowboard.

Oh, my gosh,
you have Bodi?

Is he here?

- Yeah, yeah, he's out front.
- Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I'm surprised
we didn't see you
when we walked in.

Kayla came in,
I was outside with Bodi.

Oh, that makes sense.

Kayla and I,
we aren't... close.

We used to be
when we were younger,

but we grew apart
as we got older.

I'm so sorry.

I'm not.
She's boring.

All she wants to do
is ride.

She's like obsessed.

You know, back in the day
in middle school,

she almost had to repeat a grade
'cause she missed so much class.

Oh, I knew
she was into it,

I guess
I didn't realize how much.

Yeah, it's sad.

So, um, since I'm new here,

I was wondering
if you'd wanna catch a flick?

There's a new superhero movie
playing at the Cineplex

and I was gonna
roll through later.

Another superhero movie?

Aren't there, like,
25 of those?

Yeah, but they're pretty cool.

This one's got Professor Weird.
He's kind of my favorite.

Sure, yeah.

Really?

Yeah, uh,
it's the weekend,

I don't have
any plans, so...

let's watch Mr. Weird,
or whatever.

Well, it's, uh,
it's Professor.

Professor,
doctor, therapist.

His last name's
literally Weird,
I don't think it matters.

Yeah, I-I guess.

I'm guessing they don't let dogs
in the movie theater, right?

No, I don't think so.

My sister is gonna get
photos of him
before I do

and I need to get some.

It's okay, I gotta go hit
the head anyway, so...

What?

The bathroom.
I gotta use the bathroom.

Oh, my God,
I heard hit and I was like,

"I'm nonviolent, Shaun."

But you were using
a metaphor.

Um... yeah,
I-I guess.

Oh, say no more, I use them
in my captions all the time.

They make me
seem deep, you know?

Um... tsk.

Give me your phone.

Today. Cool.

Cute wallpaper.

Okay, so now
you're following me.

I will send you the info
for my address tonight

and I'm gonna go
say bye to Bodi.

- All right.
- It's good seeing you, Shaun.

- Good to see you too.
- See ya.

See ya.

What are you
so happy about?

I may or may not have a date
with someone tonight.

Oh, let me guess.

You ran into Barbie
and her Mini Me
when you were inside?

I did.

And you're going
on a date with her?

Affirmative.

That's cool.

Yeah, I think
I'm gonna take her
to the movies.

Can't really
go wrong there.

Man, I literally thought
those two were gonna
pull Bodi apart.

They kept making him
wear your helmet

while they were
taking selfies.

So, uh, what are you
gonna go see?

I think I'm gonna see
the new Professor Weird.

Wait,
Professor Weird?

Yeah, you like him?

Yeah, I mean
he's kind of my favorite.

Like, the whole idea
of the multiverse
is pretty sick.

Different dimensions?

Yeah, I mean the fact
that there could be
multiple superheroes

on different universes
on Earth, it's crazy.

Yeah.

Um...

I'm gonna go
throw these away.

- I can take 'em.
- I-- I got it.

And the way they talked
about the eternity stone
was brilliant.

I mean, it probably is
the most powerful stone
in history,

with all the space control
and time and everything.

- It was just--
- Wait, let's go right here.

- I like the twinkle lights.
- Okay.

- Can you take a pic?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, just hold it vertical
and I'll crop it later.

Vertical, Shaun.
Vertical.

- Sorry.
- Yeah.

- Okay, you good?
- Yep.

Higher.

Okay, that's probably good.
Do you wanna get one with me?

No, thanks,
I'm good.

All right,
suit yourself.

- Stop it! Shaun,
these are so good.
- Are they?

I would take 'em myself,
but my self angle
is not as good,

you know, so...

Yeah, for sure.

You know what's cool?

My mom said
that after graduating,
I can do modeling,

so I was thinking
of moving to L.A.,
or New York or even Miami.

Definitely out of Montana.

I don't know,
I'm kind of starting
to like it here.

You know, obviously,
I miss the beach, but...

Yeah, I mean,
if I lived in California,

I would never leave,
so you're crazy.

Well, you know,
it wasn't really my choice.

My dad made me.

Wait, so you didn't
wanna move to Montana?

Not that I blame you.

There's nothing fun
or cool to do here, so...

I wouldn't say that.

How was L.A.?

Did you get to meet
a bunch of celebrities?

I wanna be famous
so bad.

No, not really,
we live more
by the beach, so...

Oh, darn.

Shaun, I have
the best idea.

Let's get Bodi
on social media.

Think about it,
so many dogs
are on social media

and Bodi snowboards,
he would do numbers...

And if we got him
enough followers,

we could get him sponsorships
and free stuff
in exchange for posting

and... it would be
so much fun.

- Yeah, that'd be pretty cool.
- Yeah! And, I mean,

we all know you would love
to be known

as the guy
with the snowboarding dog.

Everyone would love you.

Yeah, I mean,
that sounds amazing,

but how do I blow
his page up?

Leave it to me.
I know social media.

Just send me
some photos of Bodi

and I will take care
of the captions

and the hashtags
and all the good stuff.

Okay, sounds good.

- Good?
- Yeah.

I'm so excited.

I've had so much fun tonight,
but I think
I should head home.

Do you wanna drop me off?

- Yeah, for sure,
let's do it.
- Okay.

Thank you.

Good morning, California!
How was your date
last night?

It was fine.

Listen, I'm no expert
on human stuff,

but I don't think "fine"
is a good thing
when it comes to dating.

Yeah, did you and Madison
have super deep conversations

about philosophy,
the metaverse?

Did she even watch
the movie?

Yeah, she-she did,

I think.

Face it, Shaun,
that girl's as shallow
as a puddle.

I wouldn't say that.

Really?

Well, um,
yeah, you know,

she's signing up Bodi
on Instagram

and, uh, she's trying
to get him sponsors.

Wait, what?

No, no, no, no,
I don't like
the sound of this.

And she's doing
the whole thing by herself,

so I don't gotta worry
about anything,

but you know, letting her
take pictures
of Bodi boarding.

You know what?
Do what you want,
it's your life.

Oh, hey, by the way,

today's the last day
to sign up for the competition,

so why don't you go do that?

I'll get a couple more runs in,
and we'll meet back here in 30?

Sounds good.
Oh, where's the signups?

Oh, there's a table
by the main lodge.

Head over there,
you can't miss it.

All right.
Hey, come on Bodi,
let's go.

- Thanks, bud.
- Thank you.

Come on, Bodi.

Next.

Hey, I'm here to sign up
for the competition.

Oh, hey, it's you.

Shaun, right?

Signing up after all.

Gotta say I'm surprised.

Why is that?

Well, the competition's
for experienced snowboarders

and I was under the impression
you just moved here.

Oh, is there a rule
where new guys can't enter?

Nah, there's not.

I just don't wanna see you
get hurt up there.

Slopes can be
a pretty dangerous place

if you don't know
what you're doing.

Well... okay.

Well, uh, why don't you
let me worry about that

and you sign me up
on that stack of papers
right there?

Hey, Shaun,
not for nothing.

Maybe you should listen
to this guy.

You can't even stand up
on a board yet.

Hey, man, I wasn't trying
to rustle your feathers,

it's just something
to think about.

Well, I already thought
about it,

so you can add my name
to the list.

Sure thing.

Shaun, come on,
I don't mean to be rude,

but you really think
this is a good idea?

Listen,
I've been snowboarding
since I was a puppy.

That's like 20 human years.

I could do flips,
backflips,

but you, like I say,
you're struggling.

Come on, Shaun,
get it together.

There you go.

Thanks.

Consider yourself entered
into the tournament.

At the very least, it'll be
entertaining to watch.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

Come on, Bodi.

Next.

Hey, Shaun.

Hey.

Hey, Bodi.

How's my soon-to-be
famous pup doing today?

- You're so cute.
- Hey, no more
helmet yoga, please.

Okay, so I started working
on Bodi's Instagram.

Check it out.

Oh!

His handle is Boarder Dogg
with two Gs like Snoop Dogg,

but he's
a boarder, obviously.

So it was Madison

who came up
with the Boarder Dogg handle.

Two Gs, I gotta say
that's pretty clever.

Well, you know,
at this point,

I wasn't sure
if Madison was into me

or if I wanted to pursue
anything at all,

but you know, the idea
of having a new friend

and sponsors and free stuff
sounded sweet,

so who would say
no to that?

Yeah, easy for you to say.

I started posting
some of the pictures
I took when we first met

and he already
has 7,000 followers.

Whoa-wee.

I mean, I really think
if we keep posting content,

people will become,
like, obsessed with him.

Please say no,
please say no,

please say no.
I can't keep doing this.

- Sounds good, yeah.
- Yay! Perfect. Um...

Okay, so maybe
I can borrow Bodi a few times
over the next couple weeks

and I will bring him
back to you
safe and sound.

Okay, yeah. Wouldn't you
like that, pup, huh?

Don't talk to me,
I'm still processing,
you know?

I kinda like her,
but there's more to life
than social media.

I think we are gonna have
so much fun.

I think
you're completely wrong.

Okay, well, I have to start
training with Kayla,

- so I'm gonna head out.
- Oh, okay, um...

So I can take Bodi
for a couple hours

and I'll meet you
on the mountain
when we're done.

Shaun, take me with you,
don't leave me here.

- Okay, I'll see you
on the mountain.
- Okay.

Hey, you be good
to Madison, boy, okay?

Hey, I can't make
any promises.

Say, "Bye, Shaun."

Bye, Bodi.
Here you go.

- Thanks.
- Yep.

- See you later.
- See you.

Come on, Bodi.
Aren't you excited?

Not in the least bit.

Okay, California,
you ready?

- Oh, yeah.
- Let's do it.

Let's go.

Whoo!

Hey, guys.
Hi, how are you?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Hey, Bodi.

- There you go.
- How are you?

Whoo!

So at this point,

you were a week away
from the big tournament.

Tell me,
how were you feeling?

You know,
I was feeling pretty good.

Kayla kept her promise
and was working with me
almost every day,

and Madison was working
with Bodi to help build
his social media.

We were getting free stuff
and it sounded pretty sweet.

But you had no idea
what was gonna happen
next, did you?

Not a clue.

All right,
you want a hint?

Well, since you've been
such a great sport so far,

here it is. You ready?

I ran away.

I know,
things were going well,

Shaun was my BFF,
I had newfound
internet fame.

Well, to understand
the present,

I need to take you back
to before I ever met Shaun.

My original owner
was a woman named Brianna.

Eh, she was nice,

but, uh, way into her image
and I'm not into that stuff.

You over there,
assistant girl,

can you talk
to this dog for me?

Ah, whatever.

Okay, yes,
strike that pose.

Can we get the dog
to do something?

Can anybody get this dog
to do a trick, something?

Somebody talk to this dog,
please,

because I cannot...

Forget it.

Okay, would you like to stay
with this look or go
with another one?

Obviously, we need
the matching hat.

Handsome boy,
oh, gorgeous, perfect.

Go, go, go.

So handsome, Bobo.

Yes, your Bodi
is so handsome.

He's not miserable
one bit.

Now it appears
that my card is full.

I'm going to go slide it out
for another one

and I will be back
in one moment.

You handsome boy.

Oh, my.

You see what's going on
with Ariana?

She is in every paper.

I told her polka dots,
leopard print.

It doesn't work, like,
don't wear them together.

But what am I
supposed to know?

I just own a fashion mine.

- Yeah, she looks awful.
- Right?

What time is it?

It's almost 1:30.

You need to go get
the western wear ready.

Stat, hurry up.

Oh, my gosh,
this girl.

I had never felt
so exploited in my life.

I mean, look
at that fringe jacket.

That's bad enough,
but hats? Come on.

And not even a good hat.

That hat! Look at it!
I looked ridiculous.

And my Bobo just looks
so handsome
in my fall collection.

She doesn't even know
I'm a pup.

She just thinks
I'm some prop.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I said no more sweaters,
no more hats,

no more photo shoots
for this dog ever,
ever again,

so I ran away.

Brianna was nice,
but, nah, she wasn't for me.

I said to myself

I would never be taken
advantage of ever,
ever, ever again

until it happened

- with Shaun.
- That's wild.

I mean, who would've thought
just by looking at him

that this dog
could snowboard?

I know, right?
We were all
completely surprised.

And now you have
branding deals

with the top boarding brands
on the mountain,

a new Boarder Dogg
music video coming out,

and I hear there's even talk
of a movie in the works.

You know, I don't know
too much about a movie,

but you know,
we're definitely
enjoying the ride so far

and we love the fan support
and Bodi loves the attention.

Don't you, bud, huh?

Well, with close
to 750K followers on IG

and new Boarder Dogg profiles
on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter,
Snapchat, and Twitch,

we're sure to be seeing more
of Bodi and his owner Shaun
in the future.

Signing off for now,
this is Tish Kennedy

and you're watching
Splash News.

Things with Shaun
were different, you know.

He was becoming
just as obsessed
with my social media

as Madison was.

And besides,

I felt like my work here
was just done, so...

I ran away.

Hey, did you get
my voicemail?

Uh, no, sorry,

I keep my phone on silent
when we ride so I can focus.

- What's up?
- It's Bodi.

- What about Bodi?
- He's gone.

I don't know where he is.
I think he ran away.

And you looked
all over your house for him?

Yes, of course I did.
What am I, stupid?

Sorry.

I'm just--

I'm just really worried
about him.

You know, he was
with me last night
after the interview,

but then I woke up
this morning,
and he was gone, nowhere.

Okay, okay,
let's go look for him.

Don't you have to practice
for the competition tomorrow?

You're my friend, Shaun,
that's what friends do.

Besides, I've gotten
plenty of practice
over the last couple of weeks

with you on the mountain.
Bodi's important.

Hey, guys.

What, no riding
preschool today?

You scared of getting
your board stuck on the lift?

No, Blake.

My dog's missing
and I gotta go find him.

Oh, no, not your dog.

That's so sad.

Without your dog around,
nobody's gonna care about you,

a newbie who can barely board.

He's actually gotten
really good, Blake.

- You should be nervous.
- Nervous?

I have this competition
in the bag. This poser
doesn't scare me.

Whatever, Blake.

It doesn't matter.
I'm probably not even
gonna compete anyway.

- What?
- What?

I just don't think
I can compete

knowing that Bodi's
out there alone somewhere.

- Shaun, that's not your fault.
- But it is my fault.

Okay? I could tell
something was wrong

with all the interviews
and the stuff we were doing,

but I ignored it.

- It's my fault he ran away.
- No, no, no, wait a minute.

You have to compete.

With all the attention
you're getting, if you don't,

people might think you're
a better boarder than me.

The people deserve to know
who the champ is.

Whatever, Blake.

You're just gonna have
to do without me there.

Kayla, tell him.

Come on, let's go print out
some posters to put up
around the mountain.

Hey, truth be told,

Yeah, I was sad to go back
into the streets,

- but it was something
I felt I had to do.

Miss you, Bodi.

So you ready?

Um... I think
we're gonna need
some more flyers.

Why?

What's all this?

Well, I figured we could cover
some more ground if we had
some help,

so I called in
some reinforcements.

But you guys are...

I know, I know.

We don't exactly see eye to eye,
but this is more important
to us.

We all wanna see Bodi
home safe.

So are you gonna post him
on Instagram saying
he's missing or something?

I have a plan for that
as a last resort,

but I think
we should just check
around the neighborhood.

Yeah, man, we'll find him.
Bodi's a valuable dog.

We don't want the wrong people
to find out he's missing.

Might draw
some unwanted characters
to the mountain.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's a good idea.
Thank you, guys.

Don't mention it,
newbie.

Can't have you
sulking around all day,

bringing down our vibes.

Can't have that.

Guys, can we spare
the bromance
until after we found Bodi?

Thank you.

Well, you guys
ready to do this?

- Let's go.
- Let's find Bodi.

- Thanks for coming.
- Of course.

Bodi!

Excuse me.

Have you seen this dog?

- No, I haven't seen the dog.
- Okay.

Hey, excuse me, sir,
have you seen this dog?

No, sorry.

Bodi!

Excuse me, have you seen
this dog recently?

No, I haven't.
I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Bodi! Bodi,
where are you, boy?

Bodi!

Oh, Bodi, I hear
your master calling.

Hey, look at that.
He does care.

Listen to that.

Hey, excuse me, miss,
have you seen
my dog, Bodi?

Thanks.

Bodi!

I was really touched.

They were all out there
looking for me.

Maybe I'll go back,
I thought.

Not so fast there, little guy.
You're coming with me.

And then things
got really crazy.

What a day.

Yeah.

I'm sure we'll find him.

We have everybody
on this side of the mountain

looking for him.

Yeah. I hope so.

Just don't like him
being out there alone.

You said your dad got him
at an animal shelter, right?

Yeah.

Then he was probably
on the streets
before you got him.

He can take care of himself.
He's a tough dog.

I'm sure he'll be fine
until we find him.

I hope you're right.

You know, I just
don't get it, though.

We searched
the whole mountain.

He's got little legs.
How far could he go?

We're gonna
find him, Shaun.

Bows?

Bows.

No offense, pup.
I actually like dogs.

It's just I need leverage
for Shaun to compete,

and you're the only thing
he really cares about.

Hey, Blake, why don't you
be a good psychopath
and let me go?

You're making
a big mistake.

Don't worry,
I'll give you back
after the competition.

Or maybe I won't.

Maybe I'll keep you as my dog
and we can make videos,

and we can get free stuff.
What do you say?

Yeah? I'd rather eat
kitty litter.

It doesn't look like
you're getting outta here
anytime soon.

Now for the next part
of my plan.

Hey, come on, you're not
really gonna leave me
in here.

Come on,
I was just kidding ya
with the psychopath.

What? He did!
He left me.

He left me
chained to a bench
in a stinky shed!

Ugh! What have I done?

Okay, and again,
he's an English bulldog,

his name's Bodi
and he has a blue collar.

If you find him,
give this number
a call back

and I'll come over
and pick him up.
Thank you.

Oh, and again,
my name is Shaun Kendrick.

Thank you so much.

How many more do we have?

Two more to go.

All right,
what's the next number?

Um, it's Stafford
Animal Shelter.
It's 406-4--

Sorry, one second.

What is it?

"Tell Shaun
I have his dog.

If he ever wants
to see him again,

he needs to compete
in tomorrow's tournament.

Whoever beats me
in the tournament
can have Bodi.

If he doesn't, well,
then I guess we'll see

how charitable I feel
after I win, and...

If you go to the cops
or parents or anyone else,

you'll never
see Bodi again.

Your choice.
Blake."

Are you serious?

Who does he think
he is taking my dog?

- I have to tell someone.
- You heard what he said.

If we tell anyone,
we might not ever
see Bodi again.

Yeah, but do you think
he's capable of doing
something like that?

You think he's capable
of hurting Bodi?

Okay.

All right, then, um,

we have to compete
and we have to win.

Do you really think
that's possible?

I don't know,
but I gotta try.

Yeah, no,
you're right, um...

You'll compete, you'll win
and you'll get Bodi back.

Hey...

it's gonna be okay.

We'll get him back,
okay?

Sorry, you-you know,
I think I'm--

I think I'm just tired

- and overwhelmed
with everything.
- Shaun.

- What?
- It's-- it's fine. Um...

You get some rest
and I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah. Uh...

No worries. I'll, uh,
see you tomorrow too.

Yeah. Thanks again
for today.

Don't mention it.

Oh, and... you're awesome,
but you already knew that.

Good night, California.

Good night.

So this guy
steals your dog,

and in the meantime
you're falling for Kayla.

Hey, can we edit that part
out of the interview?

Hey, it's nothing
to be ashamed of.

From what I can tell,
she seems really great.

I mean, she had your back
with the missing pup,

the competition,
the friends.

Yeah.

Yeah, she is pretty great.

Okay, so next up
is the big moment

everyone's been
waiting for, right?

It's the day
of the annual competition,
or in your words,

the biggest event
on the mountain.

Yeah, I mean,
I was told it was a big deal,

but even people who didn't care
about snowboarding were there.

It was like
a big community event.

Okay, be honest, Shaun.

Did you get any sleep
the night before,

or were you too nervous?

I didn't get much sleep,

but it wasn't
because of the nerves.

Oh, I did it this time.

I don't think anybody's
gonna come here for me.

I'm getting hungry,
I'm getting sleepy,
I'm thirsty.

What have I done?

I'm Shannon Nuthe,
reporting live from Showdown,

where boarders
from across the state

are here to show off
their skills

in the 17th Annual
Powder Fest.

What a glorious day here
on our amazing mountain.

This mountain
where I was conceived,

born, came of age,
learned to be a man.

It's the mountain
that made me

the legendary announcer
that I am.

As a reminder,
if you value your lives,

do not drift
onto the snowboarding course
for any reason.

You could get
seriously injured.

Tensions are high today.

Why are they high?

Because you are
about to witness

some of the sickest
snowboarding

by the fiercest snowboarders

from around
the great state of Montana.

And how will this all
go down, you ask?

There will be three rounds.

The first round is
the single elimination round.

The top ten survivors
from round one

will proceed to round two,

which is all about speed--

your speed, blinding speed.

The top three finishers
will advance

to the third and final round,

the skills round.

Ladies and gentlemen,
friends and neighbors,

help me give
a Showdown shout-out
to our celebrity judges.

Judge number one,
two-time Olympian,

national champion,
X Games medalist,

the Ninja,
Graham Watanabe!

Mr. Watanabe,

it is an honor
to have you here today.

It's truly a pleasure.

Good day.

Judge number two,

the premier IFMGA
mountain guide,

professional alpinist
Hurston Dunlap.

What's up?

Judge number three,

last and certainly least,

Eugene.

Eugene is
the local dog catcher.

He volunteers
for town council.

What else?
That's about it,

isn't it, Eugene?

Somehow he managed
to weasel his way
onto a celebrity panel.

Thank you, Eugene.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How are you feeling?

Fine. Nervous.
Just, you know,

wanna beat Blake
so I can get my dog back.

You got this.

- Good luck today.
- Thanks, you too.

Let's go warm up.

As a reminder, folks,

round one is
our elimination round.

The top ten finishers
will move on to round two.

Competing today,
we have Shaun Kendrick,

the owner of Bodi,
the Snowboarding Dog.

I haven't seen Bodi
around today,

but I'm hoping
to catch up with him later.

He has surely become
the talk of the town
this month.

Okay, gentlemen,

let's get
this competition underway.

Go ahead, rider.

All right,
here we go.

Eight, seven, nine.

Next up,
Shaun Kendrick.

Yeah! Go, Shaun!

Yeah, California!

Oh, yes, yes!

- That's my son, Shaun.
- Wow.

We just--
we just moved here.

He just picked this up
like a month ago.

Go, Shaun!

Eight, seven, seven.

Yeah!

That was Shaun Kendrick,
owner of Bodi,
who I mentioned earlier.

For those cool kids out there
who wanna catch up with Bodi
on social media,

you can find him
at his call sign

@Boarder Dogg.

Boarder as in snowboarder.

B-O-A-R-D-E-R D-O-G-G,
two Gs on that.

Very clever, from Shaun.

Yep, we've got
three riders on deck.

- Oh, ouch!
- That has got to hurt,

but it's-it's part
of the sport, right?

Let's get that guy
some hot cocoa

- and an ice pack.
- I'm all right.

Unfortunately, he probably
won't be moving on
to round two.

Time for 54, 54.

What's it gonna be
for Kayla Cooper?

Ten, nine, nine!

Number two,
Jennings, you're up.

Undeniable.

- Whoo!
- Ooh-wee!

Our first perfect score
of the day.

Three 10s
for Blake Jennings.

Blake is
last year's champion

and it looks like
he's planning to repeat.

- Yeah!
- He'll be the one to beat

moving into the next round.

Right before that,
we had Kayla Cooper,

also a crowd favorite.

Wow!

You know,
I knew you were good,
but that was amazing.

You know, you weren't
so bad yourself, California.

You ready for round two?

Ready as I'll ever be.

- Bows?
- Bows.

- Hey, Shaun, whoa! Whoa!
- Dad?

That was amazing!

I did not realize you guys
were training so hard.

That was incredible!

- Thanks.
- I'm serious, you know?
I was impressed.

I could never do that.

That was awesome.
Oh, hey, have you seen Bodi?

'Cause he wasn't
at the house when I left

and I figured
he must be with you.

He's... um...

You know,
someone's watching him.
I took care of it.

- I'll handle everything.
- Um, okay, cool. Um...

I'm gonna get
some more cornbread.
You guys want cornbread?

It is good cornbread.
Want some?

No, thanks,
I'm good.

We gotta head up
to the mountain.

All right,
of course, yeah.

Focus on the race.
All right,
I'll be watching.

Your dad seems cool.

Yeah.

Yeah, he is.

- Ready to kill this?
- Yeah.

Okay, folks,
the scores are in

and the riders moving on
to the next round are:

Blake Jennings,
Kayla Cooper,
Trevor Stevens.

We have Jenna Thompson,
Mark Slater, Chance Novak,

Sabrina Kennedy.

Oh, gossip queen
Madison Green,

Tyler Bronson,
and our newest mountain
sensation,

Shaun Kendrick.

- You're going down, loser.
- You know what I like
about you, Blake?

- That hurt? Does that hurt?
- You know what I like
about you?

- What's that?
- Nothing.

Just planting my flag
for victory, bro.

Hey, Shaun,

what do you think
I should name your dog

after I decide
not to give him back?

If I don't get my dog back,

I'm gonna make sure you wish
you never met me.

What about Piggy?

He kinda looks
like a-a piggy.

Good luck.

Hey, don't let him
get to your head.

Just focus, Shaun,
that's all that matters now.

You have to make
top three to advance.

You can do this.

All right,
here we go, riders.

In three, two, one.

Darn it, Blake!

Loser!

There you have it, folks.

The three riders advancing
to the final round are:

Kayla Cooper, Blake Jennings,

and surprising newcomer,
Shaun Kendrick.

We'll take
a 15-minute break,

give you a chance
to stretch your legs,

get some refreshments
before returning
for round three.

And then... we will crown
this year's champ.

Well, it's-it's a trophy,
but you understand.

We will... The winner
will be announced.

See you soon.

What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
I gotta get myself outta here.

My goodness,
what am I gonna do?

Oh, man,
I'm really stuck.

This is terrible.

Who's out there?

I got teeth
and I know how to use 'em.

I said we have
to push at the same time
if we want to open it.

I am pushing.

Let's try again.

One, two, three!

- Hey!
- It's Bodi. He is in there.

You guys found me,
I can't believe it.

Of course
we found you, Bodi.

This nose
could sniff you out anywhere.

I'm gonna take that
as a compliment, how's that?

- Who did this to you?
- Blake.

He's using me
to get back at Shaun.

We need to get outta here
and make sure Shaun's okay.

What do we do,
Honeycomb?

Flip Flop, you're gonna have
to take his collar off.

But Shaun gave that to me.

- Hey, you wanna get outta here?
- Yeah.

You boys need to hurry.

All right, stay still.

I don't got any thumbs,
this is the best we can do.

Okay, do it.

- Almost there,
almost there.

Come on, bubbo!
Flip Flop, stop! Come on.

- That tickles.
- Almost there,
almost there.

- Stop, Flip Flop.
- Ah, got it.

Guys, thank you both.

You're the best friends
any dog could ask for.

Of course, pal.
We've always got your back.

Okay, okay, enough
with the pleasantries.

We got a competition
to attend, no?

Come on, we gotta go find Shaun.
Let's get outta here.

Round three,
here we come.

Round three, here we come.

Ready to lose, newbie?

I can't wait
for everybody to see
what a poser you really are.

You know what, Blake?
why don't you mind
your own business

and focus on yourself?

You're so insecure,
you have to constantly
put others down.

Take a look in the mirror.
You're the poser.

You know, maybe if you weren't
such a jerk all the time,

people would actually
wanna be friends with you.

Whatever.

- You ready to head back up?
- You bet.

Let's do it.

Hurry up, guys,
they're gonna try to stop us.

- Run boys, run!
- I am.

Oh, hey, what's
with the stray dogs?

Hey, who's in charge here?
You, Percival?

- Sort of.
- You know,
if it's the last thing I do,

those dogs are all gonna be
in the back of my truck.

Whoa, whoa, dog man,
put a muzzle on it.

We're here to judge,
not harass the animal.

- But--
- No, no but.

- No buts.
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah, man.

Yeah, what he said.

You gotta get
your head in the game.

Let's get back to it,
gentlemen.

For this third
and final round,

riders are judged
on their performance,

the quality of the tricks
and the number of tricks landed.

The previous rounds
have no bearing
on this final round,

so it's anyone's game.

It's anyone's match to win.

First up, Shaun Kendrick.

This is for you, Bodi.

Go, Shaun!

And what do the judges say?

Nine, nine, and ten
for Shaun Kendrick!

Yeah! All right.

Jennings, number two,
you're up.

Hey, Blake, remember me,
tough guy?

Excuse me,
I'll be taking that.

- Here we go.
- Get him, Bodi!

- Stop that dog.
- Wait, this is my run!

Go, Bodi, go!

Oh, there's some commotion
up at the top of the hill.

- Bodi!
- Catch me if you can.

- Go, Bodi!
- Bodi, get over here!

Almost gotcha.

Whoa!

Later, Blake!

Blake Jennings is down!

Let's show them
what riding

really looks like.

Woo-hoo!

It's Bodi,
the Snowboarding Dog.

It's Bodi!

- It's Bodi! Oh, my God!
- He's doing the run
for Blake!

- Can he do that?
- Yeah!

Yeah!

- It's Bodi! It's Bodi!
- Hit the ramp.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Bodi! Stop!

This is great.

Oh, yeah, backflip.

Comin' in hot, baby.

Flyin' down to ya!

- Ah, I missed you,
Shaun, so much!
- Oh, my God.

Bodi, you're here.

- I love ya, buddy.
- I missed you, boy.

- I'm so sorry I ran away.
- I'll never do anything
like that again! I swear!

That fall by Blake
looked like it hurt.

Luckily, he had
a rider on standby,

and I'm not sure a dog
can fill in for a human.

We'll have to check
with the judges,

see what they have to say.

I don't know about you,
but it's certainly
a first for me.

What do we have
for the snowboarding pup?

A ten, a ten! Zero.

There's no dogs allowed!

That's right.
Boo that man!

No!

You guys don't get it.
There was a pack of
dogs up there

and they distracted me.
I should get to go again.

I want a do-over.

There shouldn't be dogs
on the mountain during
competition.

- I'm with him. He's right.
- It should be me
and the other riders.

- The rule book says
that I should get--
- Tell us, Blake.

What does the rule book
say about messing
with another rider's gear?

- I don't know
what you're talking about.
- Highly unlikely, bro.

My binding was tight
at the top of the hill

when I was about to start
the race, I know it.

You were the only one
walking around

when everybody
was getting ready.

Yeah, and I remember you
laughing when Trevor fell,

like you knew
it was gonna happen.

Is that true?

No.

It's not true,
they're lying.

Not cool, man,
not cool.

Stop being a turd.

Bye!

It appears the reign
of Blake Jennings
has come to an end.

He will not be crowned
Powder Fest Champion.

Last up,
we have Kayla Cooper.

She was last year's runner up
and she is going
to give it her best

to be this year's champion.

Wow, that was a great run
by Kayla Cooper.

I haven't seen boarding
like that in years.

Let's hear it
for Kayla Cooper!

Now let's see
if the judges agree.

Ten, ten...

Ten! You don't need
a count...

- Yes!
- ...to figure
that one out, folks!

You did great.
Congratulations.

It is my great pleasure
to announce this year's
winner,

and new Montana
Powder Fest Champion,

Kayla Cooper!

Unbelievable!

That's her!
Come back next year,
I bet she'll do it again!

Blake went down
from a blaze of glory!

No glory!

Hey, how ya doin'?

Oh, my, she does smell good.
It's like frosting.

This guy smells
like some sort of skunk.

That was a great job, son.

I'm so proud of you.
That was incredible.

Thanks, Dad.

Glad you're back, Bodi.

I'm so glad to be back.

This is gonna be great.

I love a happy ending.

Hold on, hold on,
let-let me see
if I have this straight.

So Kayla wins
the big competition,

Bodi finds you
on the mountain,

and now the other two dogs,
they're adopted?

Yeah, that's right.

It all ended up working out.

What worked out?

Whoa, is that
who I think it is?

Is that Miss Powder Fest
Champion herself?

Yes, it is.

Hey, Kayla!

What are you doing
sitting there
with Shaun and Bodi?

Um, following through
on his promise.

Yeah, uh,
we've gotta get going.

I don't think so, Shaun.
What promise is that?

Well, you know,
Shaun promised

if I taught him
how to snowboard,
he'd teach me how to surf.

All right, Shaun,
I think we have what we need
for our interview,

and I wanna thank you
on behalf of the viewers

for sharing your story
with everyone.

But one quick thing
before you go, Shaun.

Will you be posting
any more snowboard videos
of Bodi for his fans?

Only once in a while,
when Bodi feels like
boarding.

No more making him do
anything he doesn't wanna do.

Life happens
when you put your phone down.

Hey, now that's a plan.

All right, folks,
this is Alec Masterson
signing off for Studio 87.

Today, we had the pleasure
of speaking with Shaun Kendrick

about his snowboarding pup,
Bodi,

better known by his handle,
Boarder Dogg.

That's Boarder Dogg
with two Gs.

Oh, actually,
we changed that.

Oh, okay, really?

Well, the viewers
wanna know, Shaun,

how will Bodi
henceforth be named?

It's "Powder Pup."

Hey, cowabunga, dudes.
Let's go surfin'.
