Thank U Snowboarding

Ian is one of the guys in snowboarding who has helped shape the UK scene, but who never craves the spotlight, indeed, he is unlikely to want his own full episode of the podcast, so it was a pleasure …

Dave is undoubtedly one of the GOAT's of snowboarding, and even more so because he really likes hanging out with the British scene! In fact, he will be one of the very few non UK born people to get a…

A random chat in a gondola (ok, not a chairlift) with friend of the podcast and Burton guru, Dan Crichton. I only got to know Dan at Spring Break last year and immediately knew we would become firm f…

Not many people can legitimately claim the title GOAT, but Steve is on that short list, in fact he might BE the short list.

The influence on UK snowboarding that Steve has had cannot be denied, whilst…

In my humble opinion, its guys like Mike who made our culture of snowboarding. Sure, there were plenty of pro riders who shone bright, but, and I"ve said this before, its the guys like Mike, who love…

Neave, as everyone calls him, hasn't changed much over the years. He still has that mischeivous sense of fun, that infectious laugh and approach to things quite unlike anyone else I've met. Not quali…

Ian has been snowboarding longer than most people on the planet. Not many people can lay claim to that, and the fact that he is from the UK, where no, or at least very little information was availabl…

I had been aware of Snow Camp for a long time, one of the staff at our chalet had worked for them years ago, but they came more on my radar as they are based near to where I live in Hove. I had in th…

I knew Phil was already on the scene when I first picked up Snowboard UK, but I didn't know he was around from the very, very early days, indeed his youthful good looks and approach to life don't ind…

Duncan Carr is and isn't your typical UK snowboarder. He has clocked more dryslope time than probably anyone except absolute lunatics, but kind of never went and did a season, which for a lot of UK r…

There aren't too many riders who have lived the life like Jonny Barr. Still frothing for snow up in Aviemore where he now calls home, from the dryslope at Llandudno via Chamonix and some of the bigge…

Scott is one of the most stylish heavy hitters this country has produced, from being taken up to the highlands every weekend from a young age, to Whistlers superpark and mixing it on Red Bull project…

Some might call Christian larger than life, but he isn't. He is as large as his life and his life is large! Starting filming snowboarding way back in the day, to producing one of the first European s…

I normally start this section off with, you may not have heard of such and such, but not this time. I"m pretty certain you will have heard of Jenny Jones, and for good reason.

Winning bronze at the So…

Its fair to say that Stu Brass has lived many lives in snowboarding, from grom riding with his brothers Si and Russ up at Rossendale, to working for the British Snowboarding Association, to running c…

Neil’s story is quite incredible and quite unlike anyone else I’ve interviewed and is completely inspirational. How small moments and kindness of strangers can turn your life into a completely new di…

You probably have heard of Johno Verity, as a pro rider he was all over the UK snowboard magazines and movies, particularly the Lockdown Projects movies he helped to make. He wasn't afraid to take th…

You probably won't have heard of Maria, but I'm pretty certain you will have seen her work. Maria has been a stalwart of the Briish scene for years, from riding Hillingdon dryslope every weekend amon…

Finally! I hear you all cry... Its a Chrismtas miracle! Yep, the long awaited, often asked for episode with the legend that is Simon Smith is here!

Simons attitude and approach to snowboarding helped …

Out of everyone I"ve had on so far, Johns journey is probably the closest to mine. As a way to go snowboarding, starting a business to share the experience of being in the mountains, with a comfy bed…
