TORONTO ? Red Bull Media House and Toronto?s Buck Productions have partnered together on a new series airing this fall that will feature professional snowboarding brothers Mark and Craig McMorris, who are the sons of Don McMorris, the Saskatchewan Minister responsible for SaskTel.
McMorris & McMorris, an eight-episode, half-hour docu-reality series, is currently in production for MTV. It follows the Regina, Sask. natives hot off the heels of Mark?s 2013 Winter X Games gold medal in the snowboard slopestyle event (where he beat snowboard legend Shaun White), and his recent ESPY Award nomination in the best male action sports category.
Mark, 19, who specializes in slopestyle and big air events, was the first person to land a backside triple cork, a risky move that involves three off-axis flips while spinning four times, in a single jump competition. He was recently named to the 2014 Canadian National Snowboard Team and is a hopeful to head to Sochi in 2014 when slopestyle makes its Olympic debut.
Craig, 21, also a slopestyle boarder, has competed internationally at a number of FIS Snowboard World Cups as well as in the Snowboarding World Championship.
The series documents the brothers as they travel the world together and spend their downtime in exclusive snow resorts with the A-listers of action sports. Their dad, Don ? whom the boys apparently refer to as ?D Block? ? also makes an appearance on the series, when his sons go back to Regina to visit their family.
The Buck Productions team on McMorris & McMorris includes supervising producer Jim Kiriakakis, executive producer Sean Buckley, director Alex Craig, and producer Oliver Linsley. Jason Ford leads Moving Images for Red Bull Media House in Canada.
