Mike Hattrup is another living legend. He was part of “The Good Squad”, on the US Freestyle Team, and a star Blizzard of Aahhh’s, and a longtime pro skier who turned telemark and backcountry badass. On the podcast we talk about hurting himself again, all things Greg Stump, K2, stretching college out 7 years, the death of tele, and a lot of skiing. It’s another DO NOT MISS episode.

Bob Klein is one of the rare first wavers of snowboarders that I’ve had on the podcast. He is that first-generation when everything was being figured out—he was an early Burton team rider, he had a Sessions store, he worked with athletes like Palmer, Holmes, and Cass…He’s done so much. We talk about a lot of it on the podcast and it’s a snowboard history lesson with a good dude who’s not afraid to admit his mistakes. Brad Holmes asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Episode 200 is a 3-part extravaganza where we revisit some controversial guests and then talk to the best skier of our time. For this one, I caught back up with John Spriggs to find out about the aftermath of his legal issues and where life is now, but John made me pull that audio. Next, it’s on to Ben Weis, where we find out if he was able to stay sober…and the icing on the cake is an hour with the most decorated skier medal wise in X Games history and more importantly one of the most stylish skiers of all time, Henrik Harlaut. Another Style master, Phil Casabon, asks the Inappropriate Questions. I chatted with Henrik in mid-October and here is the DO NOT MISS Episode 200.

Dave Downing is a living legend in the snowboard world who is married to another living legend, Shannon Dunn Downing. But he’s so much more than just a husband.
