Gary Bigham is the most eccentric filmmaker this side of Greg Stump. You haven’t heard about him because when he turned 18, he moved to Europe and became part of the fabric of European Freestyle culture, then he started making films with Europe and the world’s best. When the risk of filmmaking became worth more than the reward, Gary did what he does best, entertain. And, between his Vitamin Ski Chalet and playing music in the bars of Chamonix, Gary will always be the center of attention somewhere and the world is better for it. On the podcast, we talk about the draft, being part of 5 different national freestyle teams, Team Clambin, and so much more. Bernie Bernthal asks the Inappropriate Questions

While his skiing may remind you of a cross between Seth Morrison and Hugo Harrison (and that's a bold statement), Josh has yet to have a part in a giant ski movie that would blow up his career.

"Sick" Rick Armstrong is a living legend. Known for his film segments, pioneering Alaska with Doug Coombs and crew, and being part of the second wave of the Jackson Hole Airforce. But what's really amazing about Rick is how huge he sends things: on the hill, in the bar, in the boardroom, or just about anywhere, Rick seems like one of those guys that appreciates and maximizes every experience he can. In part 1 of his podcast, we talk about his current trip to South Africa, coming up, expanding your mind, going huge, the Jackson Hole Airforce, and a lot more.
