Thank U Snowboarding

Neil has carved himself quite a unique path, one that he certainly blazed for himself. No other UK snowboarder has earned the title of high mountain guide, a qualification that is as much about climbing as much as snowboarding, and to take clients into that environment and be responsable isn't something to be taken lightly, let alone the time and effort it takes to earn that title in the first place.Thats on top of his status as British champion, a career racing and helping set up teaching qualifications, quite the CV.Now in the envious position of living by the beach in SW France, surfning with the likes of Tom Burt (legend) looking after his body with yoga and being able to go snowboarding in the best places he chooses for him and his clinets, Neil has acheived what most of us would like to do, and fair play to him.If you would like to know more about his trips, you can find out here: https://mcnabsnowboarding.com/ If you want to know more about what kit you should use in the back country then the TSA have got you covered, their new website is here: https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/Thanks to Oakley for the goggles, I've used Oakley for years and I still think they are the best.

Delighted to be finding out more about what was an institution in the game, a brilliant shop, cultural hub in both skate and snow and place where people, including myself would pilgrimage, yes pilgrimage, to buy their kit and soak up some of SS20's, how can I put this, radness.SS20 was a snow and skate shop in Oxford, and their clever use of graphics on their T Shirts made them somewhat legendary, see someone with a fish or a barcode t shirt and you know they know. That did, in fact, happen to me on my first season... I knew enough to know that it was going to be people that gave us jobs and keep us in Val D'Isere for the season, so imagine my delight, and I remember saying ths to the other three guys I had arrived in resort with, I saw a guy at the bar in an SS20 fish T Shirt. It was mid November so no punters in town yet and this meeting led eventually to jobs, season passes and many, many good times...Mon was one of the founders along with Dave Furneau (episode coming at some point) and soon after legendary vert skater Sean Goff, and the place just had magic about it. If I'd have lived nearer I, for sure, would have worked there, or at least hung out there every weekend...You can still get hold of limted runs of T Shirts and stickers at https://wearess20.com/We are lovingly supported by The Snowboard Asylum and they have a shiny new website you can find here: https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/Also, Transform have hooked me up with some mitts I'll be taking to Tignes next week, you can check their line up here: https://transformgloves.com/ Thats it for this week, if you want to get in touch, you can at [email protected] out x Hosted on Acast.

Someone you probably have never heard of this week, but as well as looking and recording some of the historical figures of our sport, I also thought it was relevant to talk to people who are getting people excited for snowboarding outside of the normal confines of what used to happen. It used to be shops and dry slopes that would be organising trips and bulding a scene, but with the majority of those gone, who is doing it? Well, people like Zoe, with a deep love of snowboarding and an audience on Instagram, she is getting groups of women together and out to the mountains.As she explains, the main reason is to get herself a trip to the mountains, but she could just blag it for her and her family, but she has created a trip for women of all backgrounds to get together and share a love of the mountains, and that, in my mind, is a reason to get her on, because not everyone would do that and share it...If you want to find out more about Zoe on Instagram, you can find her here: instagram.com/dresslikeamumShe makes a pretty sick range of sunnies, which you can find here: https://www.zoedepass.com And if you or anyone you know want to go her trip, you can find more info here: https://kalumaski.com/women-who-ski-2024/If you haven't already followed us on Instagram, you can find us here: https://www.instagram.com/thank_u_snowboarding_podcast/You can see videos we post on our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzv12VwCKEfXL1TBup-ByCAAs always we are supported by our friends at The Snowboard Asylum, who have a new website and all the mew products for 24/25, so check them out here: https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/I mention Matt Barrs podcast ' Looking Sideways' which I am sure yoou already know about but in particular an episode he had with Greg Stump, legendary ski movie maker, which you should check out: https://www.wearelookingsideways.com/Thats it for this weekPeace out x Hosted on Acast.

From uber grom out of the brand new SnowDome in Tamworth, to working seasons in Colorado, to shaping the British aestehtic of snowboarding, to helping showcase our little corner of the world to the masses via Olympic commentary, Tim truly has worked and blagged and worked some more to live a life in snowboarding. Almost always upbeat, enthusiastic and frothing for the shred, Tim seems to enjoy the spotlight being on him, but from knowing him for some years, he would be exactly the same in a dark room on his own.Always finding fun and as still stoked on the shred as that grom hitting the kickers at Tamworth, his bright character hides how much work he puts into his professional career, he makes being in front of people, or commentating on the highest level events on one of the biggest broadcasters in the world, look and sound easy, but as with all things, the swan is paddling hard under the water to make them look so graceful and Tim works hard to make it look easy.Hopefully this episode will shed a new light on someone many will only know from Ski Sunday or Olympic commentary, someone who is funny as fuck and is always fun to bask in the glow of.
