Description A spurboard is a solid wooden structure on which bareback riders train; it can train muscles and judgment, but it doesn't buck like a real bronc. Four young people in a rural town in western NSW mount the spurboard as they face the end of school and challenge of choosing a path in life. For Mitchell, high school dropout and skilled rider, it's the thrills and spills of the weekend rodeo circuit; for his high-achieving brother Greg, it's the night sky seen through his grandfather's telescope. For Mitchell's girlfriend Amy, it's a job in her mother's beauty salon as she commits herself to Mitch
