EP026 - Ryan Tiene - The Aussie OG of Backcountry Snowboarding

Let me paint you a picture...

You're standing at the bottom of a mountain range that rises so high into the sky that clouds hide its peak.

The sound of helicopter blades whomp whomp behind you - a call to arms.

You eye the spine (snowpack on a mountain side) you desire to ride... it's GO time!

Aboard the chopper, you visualise leaping from feature to feature (rock to rock) on a finely shaped plank of half-inch ply strapped to your feet... and riding out the bottom safely, soundly and to the sound of your crew losing their sh*t!

At the peak, you look dooooooooown - it's not so easy to see the bottom...

How do you develop the confidence (trust), presence (of mind, heart & soul) and belief (faith) that you can - and will - execute your plan?

In EP026, the Aussie OG of backcountry snowboarding, Ryan Tiene, opens up about his process - walking us through step-by-step on how he was able to master his craft on some of the craziest terrains and parks all over the world. Riding for huge brands like Oakley and DC Shoes, there was pressure to deliver HUGE parts in feature films - so how do you keep your head in the process when everyone is counting on your for the result? And when the boyhood dream is over - what then???
