Josh Dirksen is one of the nicest pro snowboarders I've ever met. Hailing from Oregon and riding out of Mt Bachelor, Josh developed amazing surf style snowboarding through a career of competing, filming, and freeriding. Living with his family in Switzerland, I caught up with Josh at The Mount Baker Headquarters in Bellingham Washington just an hour from my house. Plane tickets for Josh and his daughter had already been purchased so even though the LBS is postponed because of lacklustre snow levels, Josh was in Washington and had time for an interview. Please enjoy!

Support the showTyler Nichol is a cat driver from the Yukon. He was the guy behind the 2010 Olympic SuperPipe and then he did a few years building the Mount Seymour Park. Tyler's story is fascinating and his take on the snowboarding community may just be the antidote to all the corporate craziness going on in the snowboard industry. Sit back and relax as Tyler teaches us all a lesson in bottom up economics.

Retirement is going well. Thanks in a big way to this week's guest Sean Kearns. The story I'm telling myself is that you are lucky to have this conversational snapshot of where Sean is in his life today for many many reasons. One of the intentions of this conversation is to engage at least one person that needs to hear Sean's story right now. Sean is an amazing friend, anyone who considers him to be one knows exactly what I'm talking about. I'm honoured to bring you this chat with the one and only, The Great Sean Kearns.
Support the showKevin Royes is the inventor behind Bakoda accessories. In the 90's Kevin innovated leashes, stomp pads, locks, waxing and binding tools. He took accessories to another level by signing Devun Walsh and half the Forum 8 to the Bakoda team. Then he sold Bakoda to Northwave and Drake in 1998. 20 years later when I tried to track him down Kevin was no where to be found. So when I got a phone call from him this summer I was stoked. This lead to a meeting up for this interview which took place in his RV while it poured rain outside... enjoy!! It was worth the wait!

Support the showJeff Pensiero worked for Glissade snowboards and spent the early nineties shredding in Tahoe before migrating to BC Canada to follow his heart and his passion for back country snowboarding. In 2002 Jeff opened Baldface with a group of investors that included Craig Kelly and John Buffery as well as a handful of others, some you’ve heard of, like Dave Grohl and some you haven’t. 20 years later Baldface employs somewhere around 100 people and some weeks of cat boarding at the lodge are sold out years in advance. Baldface represents the best snowboarding on the planet and is on pretty much every true snowboarder’s bucket list. This is an interview with Jeff in his office in Nelson recorded in late November 2023.
Support the showMichael McDaniel is a professional snowboarder who rides for Gnu, Oakley, Airblaster, Coal, FatTire, and JBL audio. His smile and energy are infectious and his style is powerful and smooth. We recorded in a restaurant up on hill at Holy Bowly Sunshine Village.

He went to the olympics and then boycotted them... I was overjoyed to get an invite to Greenwater (Mike Michalchuk's AirBNB getaway up in Pemberton) to interview Fabien. He and his son Jeremy are crushing it on Instagram and TikTok with videos of the Father Son duo battling it out with the occasional super pro thrown in for good measure. Enjoy this passionate Swiss snowboarder talking about his life in snowboarding.
