An obsessed man faces his demons, comes to terms with his father's mysterious death and fulfills a family legacy that goes back ten generations. And that's all in the first three minutes.

The Hawk is a five minute documentary that was created for Burton Snowboard's Poach For Freedom Video Contest. Burton challenged filmmakers to poach (snowboard illegally) at one of the last four ski resorts in America that don't allow snowboarding and document their experience. This one was filmed at Mad River Glen in Waitsfield, Vermont.

Created by Dave Raizman of Springboard Media (springboardhd.com) and Brian Burns. Music by Beau Stapleton and Computer Vs. Banjo.
